UK Bloggers meet

Hey all!

On Saturday was the UK Bloggers meet, which took part in London. We met up at Waterloo at 10am, and once Devon and Jo gave us our Simply Be goody bags (which contained a London A-Z, an exclusive discount code and a really cute compact.. Thanks Simply Be!) we made our way over the bridge to the London Eye. The original plan was to go on the London Eye, but quite a few of us have already been on it, so we decided on the open top bus tour!

The open top bus was really fun and interesting. I would definitely recommend it if you are visiting London.

After the bus tour, we went to meet Meryl and then headed to Tesco to grab a sandwich. We ate our lunch in the grounds of Somerset House, which was lovely. There were tables and chairs laid out and the fountains were on and it was hard to believe you were in central London!

Devon and Jo had set up a quiz for us! It was really good fun, and Louise and I came joint second with Wendy, Meryl and Sophie. We lost the tie break though. (We weren't too good at naming animals beginning with N. I can't think why my 'New Forest Pony' didn't count...!) Well done to Team B(eautiful)! This is where we had our OOTD pics, Devon has pics of all of us in our outfits, click here. My OOTD was this:

Sandals: Primark

Harem pants: Primark

Grey and Lilac polka dot body: Sainsburys

Denim Shirt: New Look Inspire

Necklace: Next

After lunch, we toddled off to Oxford Street. We went to Topshop first. I must admit, this is somewhere I haven't really bothered with in the past. I just have an attitude of 'If you're not going to stock my size, why bother giving you my money?'But now I know that some of their clothes can be made to work on a larger size now though, as demonstrated by Lauren for Vogue Curvy. Plus, they do some excellent accessories! Next up was New Look, which is just a few doors down from Topshop, and has an Inspire range. I bought this striped vest, which is the perfect length for wearing with leggings/jeggings.

We then jumped on a bus and went to Evans. I tried on a few pairs of shoes, but unfortunately I didn't find any that fitted! Stephanie and I then popped next door to Superdrug where I picked this up:

The Sleek Make up 'Sunset' Palette. (I love these eyeshadows, but that's a different post!) I also picked up the Collection 2000 Lasting perfection foundation, but again, that is a different post.

Stephanie and I then popped over to good ol' Primark. This is when we lost quite a few people. I think we did very well to get this far, London was chocka on Saturday afternoon! (I do apologise for not saying goodbye!)
In Primark I purchased a long black maxi skirt, and a tan Mulberry Alexa wannabe:

I also bought these AMAZING shoes. (With a bit of persuasion from Steph!)




















I'm in love with these shoes! I think they will look good with my black dress I have, and they don't look/feel too uncomfortable either!

After this, I walked down to Selfridges, where I looked about the make up, and purchased some yummy cakes for the Girlfriend!

It was such a lovely day. I met some wonderful people, and I really hope we can all get together again soon. THANK YOU to everyone that made the day so special.
