Morgan Clare Bloggers Event

Last night I had the privilege of attending the Morgan Clare Fashion Bloggers event in Harrogate and after not really knowing what to expect, I left having had a wonderful time. At the event we were treated to champagne and cupcakes, whilst browsing the latest clothing to enter the Morgan Clare store. 

The champagne flowed throughout the evening and the cupcakes went down a treat. Everything in the Morgan Clare store evoked glamour and sophistication - even the strawberries on the cupcakes shimmered like they were covered in diamonds. The cupcakes were definitely centre of attention all evening and had bloggers flocking in groups to take pictures and munch on the sweet delights.

For those who have never heard of Morgan Clare before, the Morgan Clare store first opened in Harrogate in 1997. The store was founded on the basis of providing a pleasurable and relaxing shopping experience away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. The Morgan Clare store specialises in providing customers with the best British designers and with their store in Harrogate winning various accolades such as 'Best New Store' and 'Best Designer Store', the founders of Morgan Clare then went on to develop a success international website.

To spoil us even further, the Morgan Clare team put on a fashion catwalk showing all their latest stock and the beautiful designs available in store. The models looked exquisite and really captured the glamourous essence of Morgan Clare. My favourite dresses of the evening was the model on the far left and one of the central models wearing the yellow and grey outfit. 

There was a range of design labels currently in stock at the Morgan Clare store in Harrogate. The selection varied from the quintessentially British Alexander McQueen to womens favourite Stella McCartney and various other prestigious designers. 

Currently on trend are cashmere jumpers, floral prints and bold aztecs, with Morgan Clare providing a variety of clothing to choose from.

As well as selling clothes, there are plenty of wonderful accessories available in store or online. I loved the pattern of these scarfs and the Alexander McQueen handbags grabbed my attention all evening.

Before we left, we were all given a huge goodie bag to take home with us and enjoyed a lovely chit chat with other bloggers. It's been awhile since I attended a blogging event and despite getting lost trying to find the store, I loved every second of the evening. I went with my university friend Kerys from Little Bo Blab and we had a fantastic night. 

For those who live close to Harrogate I recommend popping by the store sometime, but if you're nowhere near, why not check out the website?  www.morganclare.co.uk

Fabb Events Leeds Meetup

Yesterday I embraced the rain to hit Leeds for a spot of shopping with my partner and to attend the FABB Leeds meetup. Despite the horrible weather, the day turned out to be fantastic and I have so much admiration for Tor and Ray who managed to create such a successful event.

Meeting fashion and beauty bloggers for the first time is always something that daunts me. They always look stylish, immaculate and I often feel like - do I really belong here? Then within seconds, I feel at home and I'm gossiping about the latest release from MAC or talking about our recent 'lust haves'. I met so many wonderful fashion bloggers yesterday and I quite missed talking to them when I left. We bonded over the sight all of the beautiful cupcakes, enjoyed chit-chatting about all the presentations and best of all, traded tips of the trade whilst drinking cocktails...or Cranberry juice in my case.

The cakes were created by 'Rosie the Cake Maker' and tasted absolutely divine. I loved the attention to detail on all the frosting and the little FABB logos. It really made the event feel homely and all the bloggers took time out to take so many pictures.

For those who have never heard of Fabb Events - the whole afternoon was created by fashion and beauty bloggers Tor and Ray. They were very accommodating hosts, constantly asking if everyone was having a good time and making sure that everyone received their goodie bags.

Bloggers were treated to several presentations by various brands such as: Cloud 9, Health Point Ltd, Chiara fashion and Ark clothing. Throughout the afternoon there were various giveaways and lots of opportunities to ask questions. Chiara clothing did a really big giveaway with 10 lucky girls all walking away with various new clothing. Unfortunately I did not win (forever unlucky), but I'm looking forward to seeing all the other girls prizes on their blogs.

One of my favourite presentations of the day was from the Best British Bloggers girls. They were very amusing and kept us all giggling at the thought of pugs. It was fun to learn more about the brand and particularly exciting for me as I will be doing work experience with them in a few weeks time and it was the first I got to meet some of the team.  

The final presentation was by the ever so stylish Ark Clothing girls. They looked so trendy and really sold the outfits to us bloggers. Ark clothing have revealed that there will be lots of dip dye clothing, pastel leather skirts and funky tee's coming up in the next few months - I know where my wage will be going. I'm particularly seeking this cute little dip dye skirt that I knew I had to show you all. 

Before we left, we were all given various goodie bags to take away with us. I'm still in shock by the quantity of products we have been given and most importantly I'm so excited to blog about them all. Goodies included samples from: Elemis, St Moriz, Health Point Ltd, Witch Hazel, Batiste and Neal and Wolf and many more.

The event was so much fun and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. If you're a blogger, I cannot recommend Fabbevents enough and I can't wait until the next one.

Did you go to the Leeds meetup?
