Follow Me To: M&S Blogging Party!

*gifted experience

I hope you haven't minded all the Bristol Fashion Week spam too much but so much happened that it's taken me a few posts to get through it all! Today I wanted to talk to you about the Marks and Spencer blogging party.

This was one of the first proper blogger parties I'd been to which was way too exciting!

The event was a preview to show off their spring/summer fashion (which, if you don't have time to read the post, was absolutely gorgeous) and some of the beauty brands they stock in store.

First of all, I loved the trends that were set out at the party. I was really surprised by how individual they were-  I felt like maybe they'd gone away from current trends just a little, which was interesting, but they'd done a great job of tying this in with some of the current trends like bright colours and mixed prints.

This green print seemed to be everywhere. It's not something I would personally wear as the colour isn't my favourite but the print is beautiful and I think it could be gorgeous if worn the right way. They had a few lighter floral prints which I thought were gorgeous, which were much more my thing.

I actually wore the same thing as I detailed in the Fashion Show post, as this was just after that event, so if you want links to everything then click here or above.

When we walked in we were greeted with food and drinks from their new summer picnic range (literally this would be the poshest picnic ever).

They had a few bits of summer home and garden decor out which was super cute too! We then got to wander round, have hand massages, a manicure and look at the beauty and fashion.

It's no secret that I've been crushing over the Rosie for Autograph collection since it came out. They eyeshadow palettes are stunning, as are the lipsticks and the strobe cream.... I just need it all, ok?

The thing that really surprised me was seeing Barry M and Bourjois. I've always seen M&S as the place to get premium beauty products, like with Debenhams and John Lewis where you can buy Pixi, Emma Hardie and Glam Glow. It just doesn't seem quite right them stocking more affordable brands, but I can definitely see the logic in it.

On the way out we were given a goody bag which had some amazing brands in like L'Occitane and the Phillip Kingsley Hair Elasticiser which I've been wanting to try for ages. 

I think it's fair to say I'm hooked on attending blogger events now; it's so nice meeting people like me that understand #BloggerProblems. I definitely want to go to more! Let me know what you've been up to this week in the comments below.
