The Press Tent Event 30/11/15

Last Monday I attended #thepresstentevent which was a lovely event held by The Press Tent in Manchester's Northern Quarter at Yard & Coop (a really nice fox-themed restaurant). I really enjoyed the event and had a great time catching up with blogger friends and meeting new ones! 

There were lots of little brand stalls including Rock on Ruby, Artsynibs, Nickyrockets, Liquor 43, Depop, What Emma Did boutique and Jennifique beauty. Dom and Ink was also there, and he drew me another lovely illustration, and he also has a new collection with Rock on Ruby which is amazing so go and check it out! I picked up a few bits which will be appearing in videos and on the blog soon! 

I also had my nails done in purple glitter shellac by Jennifique Beauty at the event and I absolutely love them! I also got a quote written in Calligraphy by artsynibs, and lots of free nibbles and sweets! 

I had a great time at the event and it was great to see loads of brands that are usually online-only. Most of the brands were run by fellow bloggers too! 

If you're a fellow blogger, I'd highly recommend signing up to The Press Tent as the event was really good, and the organisers were so lovely and helpful! They also gave me a code for a free UBER ride which was a great taxi service - I'd highly recommend them! 

I also came away with a Blogger's review box, which I'll be unboxing on my Youtube channel tomorrow, although you can see a sneak peek in the picture above! 

Big Thanks to The Press Tent for inviting me to the event!! 

#TrendsIllustrated Blogger Event & Warehouse Urban Garden Party at Manchester Arndale

On Saturday I had the amazing opportunity to attend the #TrendsIllustrated event at Manchester Arndale. The amazingly talented Dom (from Dom n Ink) had designed an array of images and texts that were being printed onto t-shirts throughout the weekend. At the blogger event we had the opportunity to design our own tshirt using the designs, and the possibilities were endless. There were loads of different combinations to choose from, but of course I couldn't resist the unicorns and reindeers, as of course I'm an animal obsessive! I then went for a mint green background and the #ootd text, swirled my images around (that was a really cool feature) and my design was done! Then all you had to do was click done, and it was printed there and then! 

The tshirts are amazing quality, you can't tell that they're printed, the design is so seamlessly blended into the fabric, not sticky or cheap feeling at all. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and the best part is that no-one else has exactly the same tshirt! 

After the #TrendsIllustrated event, we headed upstairs to the Warehouse Urban Garden Party, where I got my hair braided by Toni & Guy in this amazing crown braid, and we took some selfies on the floral selfie wall! There was an amazing goody bag too, which you can see the contents of in my video below! I also had a 20% discount at Warehouse during the event, which I of course made use of, and after that I did a bit more shopping, so if you want to know what I bought, just watch the video below!

I also managed to get a quick snap of my OOTD. I was wearing Topshop joni jeans, Zara tshirt, Jack Wills rain coat, Nike trainers, Karl Lagerfeld bag, Urban Outfitters necklace, The Great Frog rings, Michael Kors watch, and my usual rings and earrings. (I wanted to wear my white converse and a lovely new jacket that I had, but sadly it was chucking it down with rain!)

It was an absolutely amazing day, a wonderful chance to meet new people, and see friends that I met at the last Manchester Arndale event. Thank you to everyone that made it such a wonderful day! x

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending the Manchester Arndale After Dark Party. I had such an amazing night, and met so many lovely bloggers, including the fabulous Victoria from Inthefrow, who is absolutely lovely! I also had my hair and makeup done by a  very talented hairstylist and makeup artist, and my hair has never looked so good! I'm writing this now on Sunday, and my hair is still curled!! 

I also got the chance to choose a perfect party dress & outfit from Evans! And I chose this dress from Lovedrobe, and this gorgeous velvet jacket. The dress has amazing embroidered gold detailing, and a tulle skirt - very Carrie Bradshaw esque! I really love the shape of this dress, as I always find skater dresses are so flattering on my hourglass shape. I accessorised with tights (mainly because I had a big bruise on my leg!), an ASOS clutch, and my Door knock 45 Louboutins. I was really pleased with my look, and I think it's very timeless - something you could definitely wear again and again! I know already I'll get so much use out of the jacket, as it will go so nicely with my graduation dress too! My dress sadly didn't make the top 10, but you can vote for your favourite in the top 10 to be in with a chance of winning the dress! 

I think to be honest, all the dresses were gorgeous, and everyone looked amazing (as you can see in the top picture). The judges had a difficult task choosing a top ten, I don't think I could have chosen a top ten! I had a fabulous evening, and it was amazing to be surrounded with so many lovely like-minded people. I can't wait to meet them all again (hopefully soon!) 

And I couldn't not mention the fabulous Dominic from Dom n Ink who drew this amazing illustration of me. You can see the whole illustration from start to finish in my vlog! I'm so impressed with it, and it's now pride of place on my wall, so you'll probably be seeing it in videos soon! On the topic of that, I do hope you enjoyed my vlog of the event, as vlogmas videos will being tomorrow! 

In the goody bag were some Mulled Wine truffles from Hotel Chocolat, which I can tell you now, are missing quite a few from the box! They're delicious! 

So if you're looking for the perfect outfit for the party season, head to Manchester Arndale,as there's so much choice, you're bound to find something amazing! There's also loads of great shoe shops (Kurt Geiger, office, Dr Martens) so you can get everything you need all in one place! 

I hope you enjoyed this post, I certainly had an amazing night, thank you again to everyone who made it such a fabulous evening! xx

*The dress and jacket were kindly gifted to me by Manchester Arndale. I was allocated Evans clothing, but the dress and jacket were of my own choosing. As always, all opinions are my own, and I would never recommend anything I didn't believe in. The photos are from LFJ PR and I have full permission to use them in this post.
