Last night I hosted my very first self-organised bloggers event, the Killer Fashion Girls Night Out Blog Party! I held it in upstairs lounge of Opium, Wexford Street, one of my favourite places in Dublin and essentially one of my Top 3 favourite bars/restaurants to party in. Basically the Blog Party was a night out for the blogger ladies (and gent) to chillax, rewind, chat fashion & beauty (and all that’s in between) and have a couple of cocktails together!

I was delighted with the turn out, and more so delighted to meet new bloggers and have them all interact with one another. The atmosphere was buzzing and at the end of the night I was very happy to treat everyone to their individual goodie bags. I want to say a BIG thank you to all the sponsors for the event, the goodie bags were full to the brim with lovely pieces that included:

• Benefit Cosmetics Mini Makeover Voucher
• Beverly Hills Formula Perfect White Black Toothpaste
• Cool Events sponsored Best Dressed prize
• DreamDots Dream Dots For Spots
• Uriage & Kubiss London makeup thanks to Conefrey’s Pharmacy
• Koh Coconut Coconut Water
• OKF Aloe Vera King Original & Mango and Coco Natural
• Platinum Hair Extensions Discount Voucher

Prepping for the big day!

I also want to say a BIG thank you Ellen, my work intern and sister next door who did a great job at helping me prep the goodie bags and helped out on the big night with the guestlist & packing up. You’re a little star! Also a thank you to Opium for their brilliant hospitality, their tunes, their gorgeous & comfortable decor and especially to Tomasz & Holly for the on-hand and organising help. The girls were in awe of the desserts and the cocktails, and I was too (as always)! Also congratulations to Manal of So Polished Ireland who won Best Dressed on the night! I really hope you enjoy your special prize! Thanks again to all the bloggers who came out to my blog party, can’t wait for the next one!
