BRITISH STYLE COLLECTIVE

Firstly, I want to say a massssive thank you to British Style Collective & Marianna for giving me the opportunity to attend this years event with my blogger pass. I HAD THE BEST TIME, which I'm about to tell you all about. :) Right, let's dive right in: FRIDAY 7TH JULY

Feeling fresh & excited for day one, I headed to the Exhibition Centre to pick up my pass & stalk Spectrum Collections stand in the shopping halls, obviously. £55 down and just had my eyebrows done I headed for the Expert Stage just towards the back of the shopping halls, where Andrew Collinge was finishing up his talk & demonstration and I was in time for Miss Pap X Olivia Buckland and I'm ALL ABOUT THE LOVE ISLAND LIFE like the rest of the country so couldn't miss Liv, it was amazing to see how passionate she is about fashion. I must of done about 7 laps of the shopping halls on Friday, no lie, I couldn't contain my excitement, I ended up with spectrum bags, a glamour goodie bag, my blogger goodie bag from BSC, it was bags galore. Then as i'm passing the Andrew Collinge Stand a girl jumps out at me like 'DO YOU WANT YOUR HAIR DONE?' so naturally i'm like course! (it's something for the blog) So my hairdresser was called Becca and she was SO LOVELY! We went with the tousled look, cause we know my hair is just the straightest hair in the universe so it needed a bit of life. Wanded, backcombing, a braid & a topknot later, i'm ready for a night out. Thanks Becca, i'm officially going to be stalking you at the Trafford Centre now forever. Took a bit of the afternoon to sit in the Bloggers Bar too, where me and Gem had the chance to catch up! @GEMUPNORTH I also got the chance to meet Danielle who was super lovely!! @daniellelevyblog and none other than Steph from @scousebirdblogs who I can only describe as BOSS. Was nice to just recharge for a bit before a maccies pit stop and off to St George's Hall! I managed to grab Philip Armstrong's final fashion show of the day, absolutely amazing as usual I expected nothing less. My final call for the day what I wanted to see was the 'Breaking into Blogging' panel hosted by Antonia O'Brien who i'm absolutely girl crushing on btw. The biggest message I got from the talk was definitely 'stay true to yourself & never follow what everyone else is doing' and what do I always say gang! 'DON'T FOLLOW THE CROWD, BE A UNICORN INSTEAD'

CAN WE DEAL WITH THIS STAND PLEASE?!

SATURDAY 8TH JULY^ Can I just first say my hair from Andrew Collinge STAYED IN. I just recurled it slightly. Winning Today was the day I'd been looking forward SINCE LIKE I FOUND OUT. I WAS GOING TO MEET SARAH ASHCROFT. Like my actual idol. So I got there early, managed to see the end of Alex Bowen chatting (HOW PRETTY IS HE IN REAL LIFE THOUGH) then Jamie Laing chatting about Candy Kittens, my mum has never been happier - Made In Chelsea is her life Before i knew it, I was getting ready to queue up to meet Sarah. FIRSTLY SHE IS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL IN REAL LIFE, IT'S ACTUALLY RIDICULOUS.

CAN WE DEAL?!!! Oh is that a no, okay let's have another picture..

SHE KNEW WHO I WAS!! 'TAY HOW ARE YOU? YOU LOOK SO CUTE, HOW MUCH DOES THIS COLOUR SUIT YOU' AFTER THE BIGGEST HUG EVER FULL OF COMPLIMENTS AND LOVE, SARAH ASHCROFT I SALUTE YOU FOR BEING THE BEST. I'm already excited for a possible reunion. It never gets old walking round my own city either, LIVERPOOL YOU'RE BEAUT. Seeing it full of such energy, buzzing with fashion, seeing everyone full of such passion was inspiring. So then after lunch with Mama and Poppa, I wanted to see Sarah's talk about her growing as a literal brand and just to see if she any tips on staying true to yourself and her blogging top tips. once again 'BE YOU, DO YOU' Love you forever Saz.

I cannot thank British Style Collective with how happy you guys made me , WE ALREADY HAVE THE DATES FOR NEXT YEAR!!! So i'll see you then. :-)
