First Bloggers Meetup | Goodies Bags
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
Hello
all, how snazzy is this two posts in quick succession. As you might be able to
tell I have indeed sorted my life out (time wise) and am making a conscious
effort to make time to do the stuff I love such as blogging.
Today
I am finally getting round to writing a post I have been meaning to write for a
while now. Last month I went to my first ever blogger meet up, which was
organised by the lovely Hareem from iheartmexo.com.
I
was extremely nervous about my first event, I think the thing I was most
worried about was not having anything to talk about with the other bloggers.
Out of all the fears I could have had I now realise that it was a slightly silly fear to have, as we all have a common
interest - blogging.
The day was
arranged wonderfully, we all met up in the morning and proceeded to take our
seats for the Highcross Fashion Show which was all incredibly exciting.
The lovely people at
Highcross called it the Autumn Fashion Fix and there were eight scenes in total
all focusing on different themes. There was The Red Zone, Grandma’s Attic,
Gothic Lace, Country Trad, Curves & Coats, Tartan Twist, Animal Instinct
and the finale Shine which was very glamorous.
All of the scenes showed both
high end and high street pieces so you got a real mix. Although sometimes it
was slightly disappointing seeing a lovely article of clothing only to discover
is was way, way, way out of my price range.
Here are some
pictures I took of the models as they walked down the runway :
After the show was
over we all went to have a good nosey round the shops, which was really lovely
as I was with others who understood why I might want to swatch 20 lipsticks to
find the exact shade that I’m looking for.
Once we got our
shopping fix, Hareem had arranged for us to have a wonderful meal at Bella
Italia, which may I just say that the food was amazing. I chose to have the spinach
and chicken calzone and it was to die for, there was so much flavour and it was
like I was swimming in cheese with the amount of mozzarella in it!
Another surprise that
Hareem had arranged were gigantic goodie bags! When I say it was big I mean real
big, it was so heavy it hurt my hand carrying it home! (don’t worry
though thats a good thing!)
All of the
companies were very generous in giving their products and I am slowly making my
way through the collection of products, so get ready for lots of reviews on all
of these lovely items.
One company which I
want to specially mention is Angelica Nail Colour who kindly personalised the
packaging, it was so sweet and made it extra special!
Again I want to say
thank you to Hareem for organising it all for us. I had such a lovely time it
was great getting to meeting so many other bloggers all at once!
Have you been at
any blogger meet ups? If so how did it go are were you nervous before hand?
