Drop Dead Summer Line 2013 Press Party

              

  

I was kindly invited to the Drop Dead summer line launch to see the new designs and to summarise - it was awesome.  On entry there was Desperados beer and rad music DJ'd by none other than Lags from Gallows/Moones, but of course the most important thing was the clothes!  I don't know if you may be able to tell by the amount of photos I took, but I kind of love the new collection.  The logo redesign is featured a lot, as well as bold prints, tie dye and a wider range of clothing styles and fabrics, with close attention to detail.  What I like about the ladies clothing is that it's now aimed at a wider range of tastes - with minimal prints, cutesy peter pan collars and flowy blouses if you're less into the 'alternative' style.  I brought along my boyfriend, Alex, who is also a fan of Drop Dead and let me put it this way - he thoroughly enjoyed the free alcohol!  This led to a hasty scoffing of one and a half burritos brought in from Chipotle, which were so yummy (although a little too spicy for my feeble tastebuds!).  There were a load of cool guests invited including bands like Don Broco, Lower Than Atlantis, MK1 and The Midnight Beast, as well as other public figures, PR people and of course, the bloggers!  I got to meet Zoe again who also brought along her boyfriend, whom Alex promptly made friends with and I had a really great night in the end.  Me and Zoe actually got to leave with an amazing goodie bag which contained stickers, temporary tattoos and a cookie, and an item from the new collection of our choice which made us two of the first few people to get items from the line!  I featured my dungarees in an outfit post you can see here and Zoe featured her jumper in an outfit post here.  I'd like to say a huge thank you to the Drop Dead team for inviting me along to the event and if you guys want to visit the website, just click here!

Motel Rocks 90's Press Day

      
   
   


   

   
So the Motel Rocks 90's blogger party was on Wednesday, I'd been so excited about the event since I received my mixtape invitation and I met up with Leanne (whom I went to Missguided with) and Hannah before and walked into the Motel showroom which had been transformed into a typical 90's girls bedroom, complete with Polly Pockets, Dream Phone and even a lava lamp!  There were also a load of posters featuring 90's celebs like The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears before she went a bit nuts!  I was greeted with a slushie, and later had a Hooch (which are so nice!) and there was some sushi to nibble on as well as sweets like flying saucers, sherbet and pop tarts.

There were a couple of different stations dotted around, including a Colour Xtreme stand where bloggers had their hair sprayed pretty colours, a Skin Art stand where I got a little glittery star on my face and other bloggers got temporary tattoos, then I got some henna done by Madina Henna Designs.  I've never had it done before but I love it so much, one of my friends actually thought I got a tattoo!

Anyway, onto the collection!  There were a few different themes running through the clothes, including cyber dreams, which included trippy monochrome prints and after dark which was decadent lace and heavy sequins.  There was also a ton of graphic prints revolving around a krishna theme which I loved, and even a dress with a pegasus on it!  Finally, it wouldn't have been a 90's themed press day without tie dye, and there certainly was rainbow colours galore!

After the Motel event I went to the AX Paris blogger party, but I'm going to post that separately as I don't want to overload you with photos!  Anyway, a massive thank you to Selina and the rest of the Motel Rocks team for organising such an awesome day, I had a blast and it's always nice to meet some new bloggers!
