EVENTS: Boohoo Press Day, Godiva Launch, Chalk PR Press Day & New Look AW15

Tuesday, 26 May 2015

Boohoo Press Day
I ran to this one again during my lunch break - Luckily it was only down the road so it didn't take to long to pop in and get back. There were so many pretty collections to look through from Retro to Futuristic! As you know from my New Look Wishlist post I am loving suede at the moment and it looks like Boohoo have a lot of pretty suede to come so I am looking forward to that! I also loved their futuristic galactica range which was all very shiny with interesting cuts and materials! I went back to work and ordered some really lovely new dresses straight after this event so watch out for the outfit posts to come!

Chalk PR Spring Press Evening
On Thursday evening I was off to the Sanderson (also down the road from work - and one of my favourite hotels in London) for the Chalk PR spring press day. There were different stations for each of their brands each with their own expert to talk us through them. It was lovely to catch up with all my blogger friends as most of them happened to be there all at the same time! We were all super impressed with the afternoon tea. The Sandersons tea is something I've always wanted to experience so I was very pleased to see it all laid out on the table.

Godiva Ice Cream Re-Launch 
It rained on this day but that didnt mean I was going to turn down an ice cream launch. Godiva invited us to their Regent Street store for the re-launch of their soft chocolate and vanilla ice cream just in time for summer and it was delicious! Super thick, rich and creamy plus there was a whole table of toppings set out so we could cover it in what we liked! Of course I crammed as much as I could into my little pot haha. They were also sampeling thier yummy ice cream shakes to wash it all down which were also delicious. I was also lucky enough to take home (among other things) a come of their chocolate covered strawberries which are such a treat!

New Look
It was one of the warmerst days in a while so going to an AW15 press day was a bit odd, long boots, coats and scarfs - but there were lots of exciting new clothes so as soon as I'd started looking around I'd forgotten all about the sun outside.

As with Boohoo, there was so much suede which I am sure I will be investing in, from jackets to dresses, skirts and shoes - they stock the best suede shift dress I have come across so far, so I am after one of those on my next shopping trip! After a quick pit stop in the kitchen with I was ready to look around the shoes! New Look are always a go-to for new heels as as usual they have lots of lovely things to come, I loved all the tassles! As well as heels, there were loads of new over the knee boot styles which means they will be in next winter, loved that trend last year!!

PRESSDAYS: New Look, Crabtree & Evelyn, Next, F&F, Chalk PR, VERY & Motel

Tuesday, 2 December 2014

So Ive been to a few press days recently and as usual I like to keep you guys in the loop!

NEW LOOK

I started my day at 8am on Oxford street for the launch day of the new New Look store! They had invited a few people to shop the store before it opened with 50% off of everything and a free breakfast from the Starbucks which is on the second floor of the store! Great for a coffee break from shopping since the shop is now so big! I picked up two sparkly tops for the Christmas season (You might recognise them I've been wearing both loads) and a huge pair of chunky black boots which I had to lug around with my for the rest of the day! But it was worth it, I love them plus I got the whole lot from £80 down to £40!

CRABTREE & EVELYN

After that, I walked just a little bit down the road to the Crabtree and Evelyn store on Regents street for their Christmas launch. They had a giant Christmas cracker which was pulled outside the store, then they went around and gave everyone a little Christmas cracker and a scratchcard which picked us a gift each! It was all very festive and got my so excited for Christmas - They will be giving these kinds of scratchcards away in stores so keep an eye out! They are such an amazing place to get Christmas gifts - all beautifully sold in decorational, musical tins or pretty boxes. I will be including some in my gift guides to come to keep an eye out.

NEXT

Afterwards, we were off to Next to have a look at their SS15 collection, lots of lovely colours! My fave pieces were the green knitted jumper and the pastel purple leather jacket! We had a look around and then a break for breakfast, they were serving mini toasties and bowls of porridge as well and milkshakes in little milk bottles which were yummy! The girls then went off to get there nails and hair done while I sat on the sofa charging my phone!

F&F 

Next one I want to chat about was F&F! This was an amazing press day and makes me really excited for their SS15! There was a whole rail of pretty jewel tones which I fell in love with and quite a few pinks that I really loved!

Chalk PR

So last night was Chalk PR's Christmas event - There were lots of  stands all around the room doing hair, nails, skincare and all sorts! There were pretty cocktails which we all drunk out of little tea cups and lots of yummy canopés. I didn't take many photos at all but that's OK because I picked up a load of products that are going to feature though my gift guides so its all good!

VERY

 I love their bold prints for summer whether they are bright colours or monochrome! My super favourite piece had to be this mermaid skirt -How amazing is it?!


Motel Rocks

Lots of amazing floral and tropical prints as usual (especially on the swimwear) and some really cool textures, we were all loving the fluffy pieces! There were bell sleeves and bell bottoms as well as a few different print dungarees and obvs lots of co-ords! It wouldn't be Motel without them! This season Motel are bringing out a range of beachwear as well which I am super excited for!

PRESSDAYS: George At ASDA, Specsavers, Very & Barry M

Thursday, 4 September 2014

Just a little update on my latest press days for you guys!

George At ASDA
First, I popped in to George At ASDA to see their Christmas collection! Every time I see a supermarket line I am shocked! The clothes are just so fashionable, they wouldn't look out of place in Topshop but the prices are literally so affordable! There was lots of sequins, my favourite was the sparkly floral skirt which the lady who showed me around was wearing and looked lovely on. I also loved the red jumpsuit (which also comes in blue) which costs £20, that's crazy! My last favourite of the day was the maroon coat which looked so big, warm and snugly!! Looking forward to when this hits the shops!

Specsavers
Next I popped, very briefly, along to Somerset House to see the new Specsavers designs,  after a bit of celeb spotting and a glass of prosecco over looking the Thames, I had a quite look around at all the frames. Thick frames are getting more and more popular, I didn't see a thin frame anywhere!!

After a quick pizza break I walked to St Martins Lane to my next event...

Very & Tanya Burr
Very always do lovely gifting events and this time was extra amazing with the opportunity to pick three things from the collection and special guest Tanya Burr. There were lots of pretty lace co-ords, lovely neoprene materials along with some really interesting patterns! As usual with lots of cocktails, canapés and of course there were cupcakes too!

I really didn't get any good photos as I was the first there, which meant the changing room was empty so I ran in there with all my favourite bits to try them on and by the time I was finished the room was so packed it was impressible to get any photos!

Barry M Launch
 I have always loved Barry M products be it the polishes (which are the best) or the eyeliners or anything else so when I heard they were launching a new product I was very excited to try it! When I arrived, I learned that it was actually two new products, both mascaras, one for length and one for volume which are meant to both work very well together and from the promo photos they looked great! 


 And thats what I did yesterday!!
