I recently got a new box which is called Pink Parcel.  As it is cancer awareness month and it’s all about pink, I thought I’d link the two together and tell you about this new subscription box called Pink Parcel.  It is a really good idea, as every time of the month instead of a bout of moodiness and being down, you can look forward to a pick me up.  The box offers either an option of tampons or towels according to preference. It also includes and few indulgent products, you can say “feel good” products.

The box comes in three parts, for now, for you and for later. The for now is as the name suggests to use now, if presuming you are on, but I guess the beauty of this box is that it is timed to co-incide with your cycle – what a cool concept!.

The for you is the exciting part of the parcel where the indulgence lies. This box is packed with beauty and lifestyle goodies.

I had some fantastic products in my parcel. A really deep maroon that would be great for the Autumn or Fall season. The nail polish is an OPI one, so from a good respected brand. There also was an Elizabeth Arden serum with beads, which I am excited to try! There are a lot of other products that can be seen in the picture, so go one and get your box! You can get the pink box online here.

It’s well worth the treat! – A great concept and a great thought!

 

I have had a busy few days going to events over the last 2 weeks. Another great event I attended was at the OXO2 with The Bloggers Hangout which is a great company that put bloggers in touch with some fabulous companies.  The event was the Bloggers London Fashion Week #BLFW and took place on 7th September.  Just in case you were interested, you can see the agenda and who attended here >

The dress code was “all black chic”, so I went with a pretty black dress, leggings and a bold lip.

I must say that the OXO2 had some amazing views too! The layout of the venue was also awesome with great decor touches and comfortable areas to take photos.

The only regret I had was not attending both sessions on the day, that way I would have met the other companies that I missed and I must say I am gutted!

I did however, attend the evening session, due to being at work earlier, met some great brands and generally had a great time.  I had my sister with me and together we enjoyed being in the heart of London and at a fun venue with some time to glam, mingle and do some meets and greets.

Firstly, my sister and I met some lovely ladies from Great Lengths who quite kindly added a few strands of coloured hair extensions, I got a dark red put into my hair.  It is a great and fun way to add some chic style.

There was also a nail artist from True Brit London, where we got some nail polishes to sample.  The colour I got is a really nice pinky lilac which is good for weddings.

I also got foundation colour matched by Benefit who were also there with the Hello Flawless foundation, which I did like, however, I thought it did make my skin shiny.  This is a good foundation for those who have dry skin.

I met a lot of great companies, these brands were Boho Betty, Miglio, Halo Hair Extensions, Kleem Organics, Little Ondine, Nadia Minkoff, Boadicea Perfumes to mention but a few. I have some really nice pieces that I will blog about later!

Thanks to The Bloggers Hangout for a wonderful venue, experience, fashion show and the opportunity to meet such amazing brands, products and people!

Here are some glorious pictures from night at OXO!

 

I recently went to the launch of Vernez on the Wednesday 2nd September in Shoreditch.

Vernez is a new and innovative fashion app and awesome because you can taylor styles that might look good on you and find out where to buy them, as well as purchasing them online.  The app has the unique selling point that it is easy to use, the clothes are clear to see and very wearable! It’s a place to unwind and make your own fashion!

At the moment, the app can be downloaded on Apple iPhone, via iTunes, which is great as I am an iPhone lover.

Also, what’s great about it is that you can follow the people you like or who are your fashion inspirations and see where they get their clothes. For example, if you like a certain person’s style you copy it or be inspired by their looks. Basically just know where they got a great outfit, I know that would really peak my interest. Also, did I mention that you can also create your own posts and fashion magazines too.

The app is the brainchild of Moyang Yang who graduated in Psychology and had a keen interest in fashion, where she realised there was a link. She herself is an inspiration, she is self-made and a great role model!

The event was not only informative but also great fun. There was a Digital table to try the app, a great photo booth, candy floss machine and a big fat cat, who was uber cute!

I even met a talented singer and fellow blogger Robyn Regan. It’s was so lovely to meet her!

All in all it was a great event to attend and the app is well worth a download for all fashion lovers! Download the app now >

It was also great to meet Sarah Bacchus who is a fellow blogger and photographer (The photo above is accredited to her). Do take a look at her blog at slbstyle. On a sidetone, I just loved her shoes!

Here are some more pictures from the event – enjoy!

It was a great night! Download the app now >
