How are we all? Good? Me?
Well, I am still feeling pretty much nostalgic from the whole Clothes Show Live at the NEC in Birmingham. The weekend was really fun and totally the BEST TIME EVER!
I went with an old colleague of mine before I moved to Bristol, Danielle... (Danielle and you other girls... I MISS YOU!! *Backwards Tick*. They will understand). She just had to be the best person ever to go with, she understands the need to shop, admire creativity and also that it ok I live with my camera!
So, to any of you people out there, that does not know what a Clothes Show Live is? Let me elaborate for you:
The Clothes Show Live is held at the NEC, which is in Birmingham. You can pay up to about £30 for a ticket and you have choice of over three-four days to choose from, it will pretty much cover a weekend. Everyone does their best shopping over the weekend. I would say, that you need to have at least one whole day to spend at the NEC because, when you arrive there, there is loads of stalls from various boutiques, clothing, make-up, beauty products, acessories and even some home ware products. Yes, a whole day will do nicely for some extreme shopping extravaganza!
When you also pay for that ticket, you are also taken to the main theatre, where they do a runway of clothing and models, include a few dancers and story telling theme and you have just seen the Clothes Show Live. The main theatre is always my favourite part and the main reason I am forever wanting to go, (this is my third time attending) I love just watching fashion shows and catwalk models. I find them beautiful, I never want to be them, I find the creation they wear is amazing and I would love to work to create one or make a story related theme for them to walk down the catwalk too.
Also one of the great reason I keep going back, is that I love seeing what everyone is wearing. Everyone, including myself like to dress really well to these sort of things, always sticking to the fashion and sticking to their own style of clothing. I love seeing how everyone are so creative with their blank canvas of a face and the clay they mould to create their own clothes. Everyone always look so beautiful.
This is what I wore to the show:
I mainly stuck with the colour green, as that has been this season colour. It is also my colour.
Another and completely pointless meaning for attending the Clothes Show Live in my opinion and that is the celebrities. Ok, I only wanted to go because I heard Henry Holland was hosting the show, but thats besides the point! The point I really want to make is the times I saw girls running and chasing these people through the stalls to get a photo or what not. I was here for the shopping and the shopping only.
Which I did really well with!
I found some of the products there was amazing. I bought loads of makeup, that I am really looking forward to trying out. One of the exciting things that I have purchased was from Jelly Pong Pong, for £5 I got four products. A Lip Blush, Eye liner, Wake me up palate and a bronzer. I have always been meaning to buy a bronzer and never got round to it, so now that I have one I have no reason to not use it! £10 and I got a Barry M goodie bag, that is filled with a couple of eye crayons, eye pencil, glitter pots, nail varnish and this most amazing eye mascara I have ever tried. I mean it seperated my eye lashes amazingly well.
£10 on probably the best shoes I have ever seen. BEAUTIFUL! An amazing dress and some magazines that I also felt was a steal. I mean come on Elle, £3 for O.P.I nail polish and St Tropez tanning thingy and two of your magazines!? BEST BARGAIN EVER! I really should just subscribe to them.
