"Find your tribe. Love them hard" is what that popular Instagram/Tumblr post says. I've had various groups of people I called my "tribe" from the past few years, but they are, of course, thousands of miles away from me, all the way across the Pacific. I started my own blogger family back in the day, and while I still really do love them hard, can't really call them my own.since I'm not there anymore. :( So, what's a girl who moved far, far away from home to do?

Move on, put on a big smile, and try to find a new tribe, of course. Read on after the jump about my meetup experience with the fabulous ladies of Detroit's #FashionBA ! 

Prior to moving here, I already knew Metro Detroit had a few ladies making waves in the fashion scene as bloggers, but I didn't know just how many fabulous ladies there are already here-- and they're all very, very fabulous (and kind)! Through the initiative of Jordan of Lil Miss JB Style, a lot of us finally got to meet up for brunch (of course) and get to know the personalities behind the faces.

Here's some stills from that day, basically (photography by moi).

My Forever21 sunnies are pretty picturesque, no?

Dana of The Closet Confessional, Bruna of Style Mile, Alexis Kelly and Sammie Schneider

Leah V, Style Trifecta, Madiina of Wild Halo, Courtney of Closet Fashion Fix, Jordan of Lil Miss JB Style, Grace of Color and Grace

Larita of LALA Trips. I love her!

it maybe was not a good idea to stand next to Dana, who is ridiculously tall. haha

Madina of Wild Halo, Alexis of That Chic Lex, and Bruna of StyleMile. How pretty are these three?!

My main and my baby boy. Always with me. hehe :)
