Last week I headed down to Manchester to an event with Rare London which was chocolate making! We were spoilt with cocktails, made our own truffles, saw Rare's latest collection and I got the chance to meet and catch up with some lovely northern bloggers! I loved the evening and it was just so much fun to eat so much chocolate! Firstly after a few cocktails and a bit of catching up with fellow bloggers we learnt how to make our own chocolate buttons! I made a massive one and decorated it with strawberry and white chocolate swirls (It was so yummy!) We then went on to my favourite bit which was making truffles! It was so nice to be able to make truffles the way you wanted to aswell! I put praline, strawberry swirls and white chocolate on mine and they were so tasty! The photos don't really do the truffles justice to how yummy they were! I then looked around at Rare's new AW/14 Collection and there's so many gorgeous pieces! I really loved the 'lips' clutch. I think it'll be a great style staple over this coming season! It'll also make your outfit stand out too! I was pleasantly surprised by some of the pieces coming up next season for Rare. There was a gorgeous fringed bralet I really liked and the accessories were just so on point! And here's the aftermath of cocktail consuming, chocolate making and lots of marshmallow eating...
Thanks to Label PR and Rare for such an amazing event! I loved it! I'm currently just finishing off the last of my truffles (yum!) what do you think of Rare Fashion? Have you ever been chocolate making?
A couple of weeks ago I headed down to London to a blogger event held by the lovely people over at Dolce Gusto and it was an absolutely amazing evening! I've been lucky enough to receive a Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine and I haven't stopped using it! In my house we're really big coffee drinkers and the Dolce Gusto machines are amazing! We took part in this amazing workshop where you learnt the art of calligraphy but with coffee which was really fun and relaxing! We also had lots of yummy food and I caught up with some of my fave bloggers which was so nice!
Here's my attempt of a selfie trying to get my outfit in from the event! I wore my favourite leather look jacket at the moment from Boohoo with a white cami and my new ripped jeans from Topshop with a pair of chelsea boots! This cami top is a style staple of mine at the moment! You can pick one up for just £12 in the sale here and currently for London Fashion Week you can get free delivery on your order with the code 'LFWTREAT'!
Thanks to Dolce Gusto for an amazing event! Do you like coffee? Are you a Dolce Gusto fan?
Yesterday I went down to London again! I love trips to London as they're always packed full of things for me to do. Firstly I met up with one of my best friends from when I was at University Rachel (you should all go check her out cause she's a babe!) and we caught up and headed off to the River Island High Summer Press Day! We were in for a treat because everything in River Island at the moment is so pretty! There was so much colour at the press day so of the prints of this seasons collection were amazing! There's so many gorgeous items which will help kit any girl out with their summer wardrobe! Kimonos were everywhere and there was lots of embellishment too! There was plenty of neon items to be seen and lots of turquoise blue items too! I wish I was seeing lots of sunshine this summer so I would have a valid excuse to buy it all! We then had some yummy pimms to get us in the summery mood! I had to take a photo of these suit & shirt combo's. I thought they were really cool and love how bright colours is a trend for menswear this summer! The accessories at the press day were amazing! I think everyone fell in love with the fluffy heels! Me and Rachel then went to meet my cousin and we went to a party for new shopping platform Grabble! I love the whole concept of Grabble because I'm always making wishlists of items online which I want! It was such an amazing event and so many bloggers were there and it was so lovely to catch up with them! We also were treated to a special acoustic set from Andy Jordan from Made in Chelsea! He was so good live I was quite surprised! He was really nice and friendly when I spoke to him too. He told me he loved my shoes and I turned to jelly and replied with they are from 'the internet' I was like what is my life?! Here's the photo evidence with Andy Jordan! Moments after the shoe incident haha! In the photo I'm with my cousin and my friend Rachel. During my trip I was also giving my new gadget from Futurocks(*) out! I was lucky enough to be sent this about a week ago and started using it last night! It works so simply you just charge it up via your computer and when the red light goes off it's fully charged and you can keep it in your handbag for on the go as it's so small! It's only £10 too and it recharged my phone to 100% while I was in London yesterday!
One thing I love about blogging is getting an insight and a little sneak peak to what's in store for some of the country's biggest brands for the following season. On Wednesday I was lucky enough to get an invite to the New Look Autumn/Winter press day! So in the early hours of Wednesday I hopped on the slow train down to London to go to the event. New Look didn't disappoint they have so much goodness in store next season which I can't wait to get my hands on! Their Autumn/Winter collection was so gorgeous! There was a lot of dark purple, tassels and paisley prints which I absolutely loved. I loved how there was plenty of sequins to be seen too! This collection was my favourite! I loved the floral prints, pastels and how each item was very lightweight and stylish and looked a lot more expensive than it is! This underwear wall I thought was amazing! I am a massive New Look underwear fan (seriously their underwear is amazing!) and I can't wait to treat myself to some of these pieces in the upcoming months! This type of shoe is around a lot at the moment and it seems to be a trend that is here to stay! I love how this is the perfect winter boot to dress up an outfit. The Autumn/Winter accessories were all so dreamy! I literally wanted to buy everything! I loved this pastel blue bag and matching heels! I love how the skater shoe trend is here to stay too! You may have seen my love for skater shoes at the moment in my last blog post here! All in all the New Look press day was amazing! There's so much goodness coming your way this Autumn/Winter!
What do you think of New Look? Are you looking forward to Autumn/Winter?
