Urban Outfitters store opening in Camden

Hello all

Last Thursday I was invited to attend the opening of the new Urban Outfitters store in Camden with the lovely Millie, who blogs at She Hearts The High Street, and Georgina from Georgina Goodman. I love Camden anyway so heading there for an event was even more appealing to me, and with such fabulous girls too!

 

 

 

 

The building that houses the store has a very eclectic history and has been host to an array of purposes. The building was originally made as a bakery, then became a theatre, a cinema, and finally a market, and there’s evidence everywhere of the building’s former past, from theatre/cinema chairs to comic page flooring to symbolise it's once home to a comic book stall.The exposed brick walls and industrial interior I feel perfectly sums up the aesthetic of Urban Outfitters, always cool and 'hipster'.

 

Along with a live DJ and free beer all night, there was also a temporary tattoo station, at which I chose a keyhole/eye tattoo, and Millie picked a snake design. There was also a competition to win a £500 UO gift card involving a pinata competition! How fun!

 

There was also a photobooth, something that I've always wanted to go in but had never had the chance to...until Thursday! We had 2 goes in the booth, as the first time we really weren't ready. I also loved the fact that Georgina, Millie and Myself each have a different hair colour, visually I think we look very good together, don't you think? I think we should form a girl band ;)

We then went to The Diner for dinner and oh my, it was lovely! As a vegetarian, I found that I actually had a lot to choose from and went for the Mushroom burger that was amazing. Unfortunately I was so hungry I didn't do the mandatory foodie pic, but trust me, it was lovely!

I'd like to thank Millie for inviting me & for the pictures used in this post and the wonderful UO team for putting on such a great night!

#LDNBloggersParty!

Hello all!

On Saturday I went to the #LDNBloggersParty at Dirty Martini in Hanover Square for my first event run by bloggers, for bloggers, and it was fabulous! With cocktails and fellow bloggers, it was the perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Although most disliked that there was no mobile signal as the venue was a basement, I loved being able to shut off for a few hours and focus on what was happening at the party instead of furiously refreshing my twitter feed!

I met up with Georgina and Lorna at Oxford Circus and did the obligatory outfit pictures, before heading to the venue, which was just opposite Vogue House.

I met some lovely ladies, drank delicious drinks and left with a very generous goody bag. It was such a great event, much congratulations to Scarlett for organising such an amazing event.

 I also met the absolutely lovely Arabella, who was amazing and has given me a huge bout of wardrobe and style envy! 

The goody bag was really generous, with a range of beauty products plus a can of diet coke and galaxy chocolate. Otherwise known as a beauty bloggers dream!

This 'Blogger' necklace is so cute, and the red with silver chain is perfect for my colour scheme! It was such a original gift.

I had some difficulty choosing what to wear to the event, as it was during the day and quite hot so I wanted to right balance of my own style and weather/event appropriate! So here was my OOTD:

So I had a little difficulty choosing a jacket so I bought 2! As you can see from my pictures with Georgina and Lorna, I started out with the black blazer, but thought that the white tuxedo jacket was a lot more summery so changed into that! I love the bleeding c vest, Chanel inspired but bought from Camden market and I think I wear it a bit too much!

All in all, the #LDNBloggersParty was a great Saturday afternoon, I met some great people who I hope to meet up with again soon and hope to attend many more events such as this!

House of Halos Bloggers Event

Hello all (again)!

Two posts in one day? Well alright then! On Tuesday evening I went to The Penthouse, Leicester Square for the House Of Halos blogger event. I've been to this venue before, albeit for a less sophisticated night out, but seeing it in the daylight meant I got to see that it was really nicely decorated and very classy. The panoramic views of London are also beautiful, especially now it's staying light later. 

This was my first 'Bloggers Love' event, and it was wonderful. House of Halos is a couture millinery and jewellery brand, designed by Scottish artist Arlene Barclay, who was present at the event, rocking her tartan dress! From skull encrusted crowns to extravagant crystallized head pieces, all the works of art Arlene produces are stunning.

 

 

 Along with a catwalk showcasing the newest collection of head pieces, crowns and jewellery, we were treated to fabulous skull and rose topped cupcakes, curtsey of Cherries Cakes, Scottish Toffee linking back to Arlene's heritage and manicures from the lovely Pamper Puff Girls, it was a great way to spend a Tuesday evening!

 

 

Bloggers Love events are a great way to network and meet fellow fashion and beauty blogging enthusiasts, and & I met some wonderful people, including skull-enthusiast Millie of She Hearts The High Street and Jake from Style Journo.

I had such come from work, so my outfit had to be work and event appropriate and I stuck to my usual Monochrome palette. It is so nice not to have to bring a heavy coat around too!

 I want to thanks Bloggers Love for inviting me, and I'm looking forward to the event later this month!
