On Thursday, me and
my friend Becky went to Company magazine's event - Bloggers style the high
street. I love Company magazine's re-design and I'm so disappointed that it's
no longer being published. I also love reading fashion blogs, so this event
sounded perfect for me! I don't actually read any of the blogs written by the
chosen bloggers, but I do shop in some of the high street shops that were being
featured, particularly ASOS, River Island and Primark.
We arrived at the
Tobacco Docks in London just after 6:30 and queued for a little while to get
in. The venue itself was amazing! A beautiful, old building lit by purple
lights - it looked magical! As part of our ticket price (£25) we got a vodka
drink, so me and Becky drank those while watching other people enter and eyeing
up the vast array of fashion on show from the other guests.
After a while we
went upstairs and collected a glass of wine (also included in the price) and
went into the main fashion show room. We didn't know what table we were on, but
neither did quite a lot of other people. We were sat near the back, but I could
just about see! At our table we had a range of breads, cheese and meat which
was a bonus! I was shocked to discover that on our table was Laura from ThePixie Cut! I only built up the courage to talk to her at the end of the event
but she was lovely!
The show itself was
good. Admittedly there were things I didn't like, but I was impressed with the
majority of outfits on show. The highlight of the show for me was definitely the
evening wear by Primark. It's just so affordable but still looks great. I also
spotted an amazing green dress but I can not for the life of me remember which
shop it was from! I was also very impressed with some of the capes on show from
M&S. I really am loving my capes at the moment!
The show ended by
9:30 and it seemed that a lot of people left then. Me and Becky went into the
'club' area and personally I didn't enjoy the music, but we did enjoy the fact
that they were giving out ice cream! I had a tub of lovely toffee ice cream
with caramel sauce - yum! We were both quite tired so decided to leave soon
after this. We collected our goodie bags, and wow - very impressed! I have
received some goodie bags in the past that contained only 5/6 items, but this
one had about 15! I won't use everything, but there are a few things I will
definitely be trying out. Me and Becky looked through the bags on the train
home, and I swapped a bottle of fake tan for an extra bag of apple crisps!
Overall, we both
really enjoyed the night. It was a different night out for the both of us. 2
drinks were enough, although I could have drunk another glass of wine! I have
included some pictures below, but I only had my iPhone on me, and I didn't
really manage to get any good pictures of the show. The show was inspiring and
I love the fact that all of the items are affordable and on sale now. It was
nice to look at everyone else's clothes, as well as meet a blogger who I really
like! I wouldn't hesitate to going to another event like this again. Thanks
Company!
