Hi there beauties. It's been a manic week, but I am here today to share with you the many fabulous brands I met at the Bloggers Love Gifting Lounge on Monday as a celebration of London Fashion Week.
Louise from Love Lola Designs hand paints these gorgeous personalised bags herself. I love them all, but the double compartment chain style (top) is my favourite. As well as many bag styles and sizes Louise also creates fabulous designs on cups, candles, cushions and much more. Great for gifts, especially with Xmas looming or just to treat yourself :)
I don't fake tan too often as I always fear I will get it wrong ending up in obvious streaks and smelling like biscuits or curry as my boyfriend says. I was gifted with the Montana Tan 1 Hour Mousse. I do find waiting for fake tans to develop a bit of a chore so I will hopefully fall in love with this product. I am planning on testing it out next week so keep an eye out for a review soon.
Before attending this event I fell in love with these Fur Pom Pom Bobble Hats. The pom poms are interchangeable which is such a great idea to mix and match with your outfit. The Floral Crowns are so beautiful. Perfect for bold femininity.
Fancy blinging up your shoes, clothing, fashion accessories, car keys or just about anything else with Swarovski Crystals? AJ Boutique will customise to suit your personal style or to gift someone special with a unique design. I love the sparkle detail on these booties.
With handbag styles I dare you not to fall in love with and a charming jewellery range. You can view my two posts where I feature
Nadia Minkoff earrings in an OOTD and where I first met the brand
here.
The jewels at Dress Me Betty had me very excited. They are perfect for dressing up any plain outfit giving it a beautiful edge. I was very lucky to be gifted with the Panache pendant (bottom left).
Suave 101 are an urban London brand with a clothing range mix of t shirts, vests, polos, sweatshirts, headwear and accessories. With options including beautifully printed designs as well the monochrome Suave 101 logo designs above this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to styling options. Suave 101 offer a customising service. Choose your style of tee or vest to work with adding material and/or zip embellishments for your own unique piece. Although probably assumed to be a menswear brand there was a lot of interest at the event from the ladies. I know I would be able to style up their tees easily. It was lovely to meet Jack C.E.O. of the brand.
CATWALK
An amazing collection from Tinkilove.
Unfortunately I missed the 2nd catwalk show as the evening ran behind a little and I had to leave.
So who else did I meet on the night?
Ever bought that great dress for an event and failed to notice until the photos of you in your outfit were up that you have VPL! Well fear no more ladies as Shibue Couture have the answer to your concerns. With options such as strapless panties, cover ups, lift ups and much more you may just want to leave your dress at home ;) I have No Line Strapless Panties to try as well as a couple of the Peel and Toss Strapless Panties. So naughty, yet so practical.
Rush Hair & Beauty have an amazing site full of products to fulfil your hair and beauty needs. I was kindly gifted with two volumising products.
The name speaks for itself, but Optimus PM are certainly a team I want to know better. With a very impressive client list and an enticing affiliate programme I am definitely interested in working with them. They were also kind enough to gift me with beauty products too.
Beautiful quality printed scarves which are aptly named. I think my favourite is the design Wild Yonder.
Beautifully crafted leather handbags with a floral theme. My two favourites were the patent croc Cataleya which is perfect for transporting your laptop and other business essentials and the Alyssum which is a classic everyday bag.
Unfortunately I did not get to speak with this brand, but I can tell you that they offer a customising service adorning your chosen items with crystal gems for that unique style. Whether it be shoes, headbands, phone cases and more Dolly's Bling Shop will make your pieces gem-tastic.
It was pretty busy around this brand. Fuffy's Fantasies offer customised bras and bikinis to girls that want to show off their top assets ;)
With the quote 'Fake it till you make it' Glam Drawer are a fashion brand for girls who want to really accentuate their curves. With fashion for girls with confidence in their silhouette head to Glam Drawer.
With many fashion brands all under one roof House of Trendella have fantastic style options. It was so hard to get to them through the crowd of girls, but I managed it in the end. My favourite piece from what was left on their rack was the HoT Basics Green Sequin Open Back Bodycon Dress which would be fantastic at an event, especially under lights to make you glow.
With a wide variety of fashion clothing and accessories that are unique one off pieces so only you can have them! Focused on helping you find items to suit your style and size Kisses From Coco are there for you.
I met the lovely Stacey from Lash Magnifique. Specialising in semi-permanent eyelash extensions that are bonded on with a medical adhesive. They can last up to 2 months depending on your natural lash growth/shed cycle. Giving you the look of instantly lifted lashes without the need to apply mascara. Stacey was so sweet offering me the chance to have these lashes applied as well as gifting me with a yummy cupcake :)
With fashion forward catwalk inspired pieces. Novo London have seriously sexy items that should be on the radar of girls who want to dress to impress with sleek sophistication.
For sexy, sassy fashion head over to Rhomes Boutique. With a fantastic range of on trend and celebrity inspired pieces that are affordable too.
Sophisticated European style is brought to you by Sabella Collection. With chic, sexy figure enhancing pieces beautifully wrapped and presented in the signature Sabella boxes to make you feel special.
With a stunning 100% silk scarf collection you can drape yourself in luxury. My favourite scarf from collection one is the Olga. A wildly vibrant style.
I have met this brand before at a few Bloggers Love events and I am definitely a fan. With a wide range of bang on trend affordable fashion.
I have previously featured
Valour & Valkyrie in an outfit post and at another
Bloggers Love event
here. With pieces to flatter and enhance they have something to offer for everyone.
I had a fantastic chat with fashionable accountant MD Carol Hanson as well as style & confidence coach Chelle Shoet. They both really understand that clothes and accessories are not all that is needed to make a great outfit. Confidence to know that you are wearing the best style and shape to enhance your figure whether you be an apple, pear, hourglass, strawberry triangle or athletic is key. They truly want to ensure that you feel at home when shopping at Want Her Dress so that you will come back knowing that what you order online is right for you. I know I have stopped myself ordering online before as I can't always be bothered with returns if the items are not right for me. Knowing that Want Her Dress are keen to prevent this with their fantastic tips on dressing for your shape gives me hope for the future of online shopping.
Sockie Bijoux introduced me to a very different type of product. Not socks, shoes or stockings. I think of them as lingerie for your feet. Although I am not sure I would wear them alone I think I will try wearing the cross design pair I was gifted with to emphasise some shoes.
Sorry if I missed out any brands, but it was hard to get around everyone at the event.
I hope you liked this post. Let me know your brand favourites including any pieces in the comments below.
Love to you all
Vicky xx
