Evans #IAmMe Awards

Evans spared no expense with their recent #IAmMe Awards event, it was a night fuelled by positivity, giggles and a shed load of prosecco!  I was honoured to have received an invite to the prestigious awards, especially when I saw how well Evans looked after us Blogger gals.

As soon as I got my invite I made sure to get in touch with Vicky of Vixen Curves to discuss a collaboration.  I had found a killer dress from Boohoo Plus that was perfect for the event, but it needed something to give it that little somethin’ else! When Vicky suggested customising one of the “vixen” harnesses to wear with it, perhaps a little eye-catching gold number, I was all over that!

Considering I got ready at work, I don’t think I scrubbed up too badly!

100 Wardour Street is a plush venue and it was decked out to nines with #IAmMe hashtags & goodies everywhere you turned, (I kinda felt bad for the clean-up team that would have to get the mirror & wall transfers off before the next working day!) It was pretty impressive though, even the loos were kitted out!

The awards ceremony was really uplifting. Five awards, given to five ferociously fabulous and inspiring women, including our very own Lucy Earnshaw who was awarded the #IAmStyle award. Well done beautiful, you totally deserved it.  I hadn’t heard of the other lucky ladies who won the other awards before this evening, but they were all lovely women full of confidence and some pretty funky dance moves!  It was awesome to meet them and spend the night dancing with them.  I will definitely be following their journeys from here on out.

Hosted by the uber stylish Laura Puddy, she was joined by Hayley Hasselhoff, Callie Thorpe and leading ladies from Evans, Garnier & Marie Claire who all spoke passionately about what the Awards meant to them and how much each of the nominations recieved were truly heartfelt. It was so empowering to hear others speak so highly of other women, there's not enough praise of each other these days so it's refreshing when we get the chance to celebrate and uplift others. Jess and her Bandits played a fantastic set, not only is she stunning with the voice of an angel she is so down to earth and real. Always a pleasure, Jess x

Some of my favourite blogger babes were in attendance, everyone's outfit was unique and each of the ladies had dressed to impress. We all had seats laid out for us; such a nice touch.

There was a pamper bar in a side room where you could have your nails painted, I opted for a blood red shade from Essie. 


With the addition of delicious canapés including the most adorable mini burgers I have ever laid eyes on and free flowing prosecco we were in for a fabulous night.  Bethany of The Arched Eyebrow spun the tunes all night keeping us dancing well into the small hours.



It really was a fab night and we were even given a goodie bag filled with Garnier products and an edition of Marie Claire. 

I cannot wait for next year's event; Evans know how to throw a shindig!

Lovedrobe Ladies Day


Being invited to join these gorgeous blogger girlies for a day of pampering hosted by Lovedrobe Clothing has been one of the highlights of 2016 so far.



We were invited to Manchester's MediaCity to the plush venue; On The 7th to indulge in Prosecco, nibbles and to sample Lovedrobe's new SS16 line.


We were made up by two fabulous make up artists Gemma & Dean from Rouge Noir Salon.
They were fantastic and made us all look like a gazillion bucks!

The bitesize nibbles were tasty, just a shame that due to dietary requirements not everyone could enjoy it! But the Prosecco went down a treat as did the mini millionaire shortbreads!




We got the chance to play dress up in many of the samples of the range. Here's a few of my favourites
Navy Shift Dress, Moon Print Cross Over Dress, Floral Print Crepe Shift Dress, Floral Print Swing Dress, Flower Print Cold Shoulder Dress

Sam wore Pink Textured Shift Dress, Becky wore White Floral Print Swing Dress, Perelandra wore Lace Contrast Dress, Kellie wore Floral Print Shirt Dress, Becky wore Floral Print Tie Waist Dress & Rosie wore Floral Print Crepe Shift Dress

Every dress I wore was a size 20 and even though I currently sit between an 18 and a 20, I always opt for the higher size with Lovedrobe clothes as they do come up small.

We couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a few #selfies! Especially when Olivia turned up :)




After we had tried on pretty much the whole line between us we needed a bevvie to cool off so we nipped into a nearby bar for a quickie.


We had a fab day with the Lovedrobe ladies, thank you for having us xx
