Last week, on Monday., I was invited to attend one of the BLFW (Bloggers Love Fashion Week) events at the Oxo Tower, London – an event organised by The Bloggers Hangout. The Bloggers Hangout is a community for us like -minded bloggers, who organise events, gifting, and a place to talk all things blogging. The event itself coincided with London Fashion Week, with The Bloggers Hangout’s very own touch to fashion week itself. This was my first event that I had attended which was organised by The Bloggers Hangout, and although I had been a member of the community since I first started blogging, I had never signed up to attend any of the events before. This was never due to the events appealing to me, more so, I didn’t have as much free time as I do now.
The location of the BLFW event fit the vibe of London Fashion Week perfectly – the Oxo Tower is situated prominently on the south bank of the River Thames, and as I attended the Evening session, it made it all the more better to get snapping away with my camera at the view.
The brands at the event included Halo Extensions, Great Lengths, Kleem Organics , Magnitone among several others. These brands, apart from Magnitone, were fairly new to me. However, that is the great thing about blogging – you get to discover an entirety of new brands and products which you would never have found before.
The event itself, which had a dress code of “all black chic” (my favourite type of dress code!) wasn’t too busy, which was great, however, I did get there fairly early and straight after work. It was only when it got to an hour or so into the event that the venue got fairly busy, especially the gifting lounge which was getting pretty packed. However, saying that, it wasn’t busy to the extent that your personal space was invaded, you just needed to maneuver around strategically. With a DJ playing all evening, I actually lost track of time and stayed for the entirety of the event, though I didn’t manage to catch the second fashion show slot.
