What a busy week! Lots of new experiences, lots of new people!
Let me introduce Carina, who's a German blogger behind the Bad Taste Toast blog. She's visiting Hungary on business, and being a lovely girl that she is, she suggested a blogger meetup!
We met for coffee and cakes last week, and got on so well (even without mentioning blogs) that we decided we should meet up for a stroll and picture taking in the weekend. Let me tell you, it's amazing to walk around, see a great photo spot and having someone with you who understands your enthusiasm and even takes your pictures! :D
Obviously gritty backgrounds are my weakness. What can I say, I love rust. :)
Carina's favourite Budapest bridge is the lovely green Freedom Bridge, so we headed over to snap some photos overlooking the Danube. Playing tourist in your own city - what a great way to spend the weekend. Suddenly you see well-known sights differently!
Then we walked up Gellért Hill and agreed that the weather was simply perfect, not too cold, not too hot... Ideal for sightseeing as the skies were so clear.
We stayed on the top of the hill, looking down at the city and discussing blogging and other things until the sun started to set, then we strolled down the hill towards Elizabeth Bridge bathed in warm light, and decided that this definitely wasn't our last meeting. In fact, we're planning another one this week, while Carina is in Budapest.
Carina, thank you for the great pictures and the great times!
Check out Carina's blog on her take on our meetup and whimsical, fun style!
My first ever blogger meetup was a definite success. Looking forward to more to come. Any of you visiting Budapest this summer? :)

So lovely! Sounds and looks like you two had a great great meet-up =D I wish I could come over as I originally had planned! Maybe still, if I have a little luck, I can make it down there in September. I keep my fingers crossed! x
I love the background, I seem to have a weakness for similarly deteriorating spots. I've planned a shoot this weekend in an abandoned pool that is now used as prop storage for a university theatre department...so many delicious adjectives for the one spot ;). I love both of your outfits and it seems like you had a lovely time, I definitely want to get some blogger meet ups going in my area!
That looks like a really fun day!
It looks like you both had fun and of course you look stylish:-) These are such great photos. Love it!
Fun, Fun Fun! I've never done a blogger meet up but I always wanted too.
I love all your photos. Wish I was there.

I'm a bit behind, I think I'll post my part of the story at the weekend when I'm back home.
THANK YOU so much for the lovely meet-up and for showing me around a bit, it's always so great to mingle with the locals here in Budapest! It was such a nice way to spend the Saturday :)
And köszönöm for taking the photos too!

blogger meetups are the best - it's so great you found someone you clicked with so well! Love your rusty backdrops too, haha.
It looks like you both had the loveliest time! Two of my favorite bloggers meeting up makes me realize of little the world is and that's amazing :D

... what a lovely country to visit..i like the scenery!
and so sweet of Carina to meet up with you!
I like your pink scarf over the ruggedy denims! I am giving you a follow...
Wow, beautiful photos ladies!
I'm always jealous of bloggers who get to meet up and have fun times. Looks like this was no exception! (: Too bad I can't just hop on a plane over to Budapest...
How fun! I love Carina's bird sweater :)
I've only had one blogger meet up and it was such a blast!
Thanks Annie!
Would be so nice! :) Budapest is nicest in the spring and autumn! It's too hot in the summer. :)
Wow, that photoshoot sounds brilliant!
It definitely was! :)
Thank you! It was great fun! :)
I'm sure you could organise quite a few in NY! :) But anytime you're in Budapest, feel free to email me! :D
You're absolutely very welcome! :) Looking forward to seeing your post! :)
Thanks Loren, it was a great day! :)
It was great fun, if you have a chance to meet up with bloggers, go for it! :)
Thank you for the compliments! :)
You're very welcome! It was a great day! :)
Thanks! :) It's lucky I guess - but we sort of "knew' each other from the blogs. :)
That's so lovely to hear! It definitely is a small world! Hope I can meet you someday somewhere in Europe too! :)
Definitely, and more! :)
It was definitely great! :)
Agreed, and proven! :D
Thank you, glad you like Budapest! :)
Thank you Kirstin! Long time no see! :) Glad you visited again! :)
Too bad indeed! Would love to meet up with you someday somewhere... Unfortunately I'm not visiting the US either in the near future... Though I'd love to. :)
Definitely, I can't wait for more. :)
that is so nice to meet a fellow blogger, hope it happens to me one day
nice to have someone take the pic so much easier
