The Editeur Event #EditeurAtLarge

Hey everyone! Today's post is all about the #EditeurAtLarge blogging event I was luckily invited to attend a couple of weeks ago at gorgeous boutique, The Editeur, in Chester!

The boutique itself is right up any girls street with a treat of designer loveliness! In store there were perfect selections of various collections from those ever enviable wardrobe names such as Michael Kors, Red Valentino and Alice by Temperley. Swooonnn. I couldn't keep my eyes off all the sparkle, fur, leather and crochet dotted around!

It was all kicked off to a fab start as we were greeted with champagne, party playlist and a pretty selection of yummy cupcakes and nibbly bits! It was lovely to meet and have a good natter with the bloggers as well as all the staff at The Editeur, Sarah from Fashion Dotty and Clare from Tweet who had arranged and put on the whole event! After having a good look around I chose my couple of outfits to play dress up in and pose in for the camera! It took me forever to try and decide, I swear I could have been there all day trying on different pieces! But in the end for my first outfit I went for an embellished Pinko dress which I teamed with a wide brimmed suede hat. The dress was amazing to wear, draping in all the right places and nipping you in at the waist. I also loved the shoulder detail with lovely golden beads! Once we'd chosen, upstairs you could even have hair and make up touched up to get camera ready! Here is how the outfit turned out:

 

The next outfit I chose was from the adorably chic Alice by Temperley range. With lots of lace, tailoring and boho inspired pieces to choose from I ended up going for the amazing Blake jacket and Earl skirt. (I really would do terrible things to own that jacket!) I then popped on a camisole from the Farhi by Nicole Farhi range and I was good to go! I love that the jacket would have even made wearing something simple like a pair of jeans look great! Here is how that outfit turned out:

The shimmering pieces from the Michael Kors collection.

Mustards, browns, leopard prints and blacks from Valentino Red.

 At the end of the evening we were surprised with an amazing goodie bag which included a pair of  Wolford tights, an ice pop bracelet from Chlobo, that I have worn constantly since, and a hair piece from hat designer Laura Apsit Livens as well as lots of glossies and a couple of Sebastian hair goodies!  

It really was such a fun evening and I had a brilliant time! A massive thank you the fab Editeur team, Sarah and Clare for putting on the event :)

 

Invitation Only June Event

Hello Hello, long time no blogging I know! The past few weeks I have been seriously pre-occupied with my summer job working as a resident in a boys' house at a summer school. (Remind me never to have sons ha) so fashion has had to step aside whilst I attempt to avoid water fights and mouse traps! For those of you who have read the earlier post I did featuring the Next GB supporters scarf, I recently received some good news from Gemma at Spreading Jam that Next decided to feature the post on their website! Woo! You can check out the link here.

In other news, last month I was invited to attend the ‘Invitation Only’ June event! Admittedly at first I hadn’t really heard of them but after a quick trusty Google search it showed the premise of these bi-monthly pop-up shop events is to feature a selection of various collections from up and coming designers!  So I grabbed my Oyster card, bullied my brother into playing taxi driver and headed to South Kensington to the Becca Boutique to check it out!

The designers featured were Ruffle and Ruffle, Crow, Barbara Benner, Seline, Aloe, Savanna Bettencout and Jeeves and Miller to name a few and there were some lovely pieces from swimwear, accessories and garments. My favourite collection following in the style of my last post were the simplistic and chic pieces from Aloe consisting of silk shirts and shorts, maxi dresses and skirts in nudes, creams and black.

Mono-Chrome from Aloe

Beautiful jewellery from Olivia. Check out the statement gold ring!

Seline

Ruffle & Ruffle

A touch of India was brought with these gorgeous embellished scarves.

I'm lusting over these heavy fringed bags from Barbara Benner!

Popping colour clutches from Miller & Jeeves

 Another favourite was the sunny yellow Ruffle and Ruffle cropped shirt dress, with a sheer skirt length. We thought it would look great with a pair of leather shorts underneath! And of course the over sized arm candy from Barbara and Seline would go nicely with it too!

After lots of browsing some yummy treats were also on offer with a table full of delicious macaroons and cupcakes with cute tea cup sets for a spot of afternoon tea!  So pretty they were almost to good to eat.

It was great to discover some new designers and I definitely have a few more pieces on my lust list as well as a pretty tea set!  A big thanks to Invitation Only for the invite! Have any of you attended an Invitation Only event?
