I met up with Nilufar and went along to the Edinburgh Meadows Festival, Edinburgh.
I came a cross the poster for the Meadows Festival on the Facebook page ‘Edinburgh Spotlight;
The Festival was a free entry two day weekend event on the 7th and 8th of June. The meadows in located in the central area in Edinburgh, easy access and next to the Bruntsfield Links. I love going for walks around the meadows as it reminds me of my youth as my high school is local to the meadows.
There was a lot going on at the Festival as they had a number of stalls around the two stage areas. There were scheduled musicians which one even played my all time favourite song by Kanye West- Gold-digger (made my day!). This child friendly festival even has a number of Kids activities for children. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse and started raining heavily 😦 so we ended up going for desert at favourite 🙂 http://instagram.com/p/o8qUEBjlo7/
The events assistants were giving out the Meadows Festival posters 🙂
The following day Sunday the 8th I went along to a Craft Fair at Ocean Terminal, Edinburgh to support a family friend. Humera is the owner of Exquisitely Beautyful a cupcake, craft and henna company. Exquisitely Beautyful also had a stall during the Edinburgh Charity Ladies Night.
The Craft Fair was in aid of The Yard- a charity Organisation. The stalls were all independent boutiques which were selling jewellery, cosmetics, bags and accessories, paintings, baby wear and handmade craft designs.
Exquisitely Beautyful Humera is such a talented woman!
Well done Humera for putting this together!

The event was a networking opportunity and to create a buzz around the new refurbished store in the Edinburgh Royal Mile. Me and the other attendees also got invited along to the VIP Exclusive re-launch event later this week, which will be held at the refurbished store.
I was welcomed in by Lauren who does the PR for Filling station, also an Events Graduate from Napier University, Edinburgh! Yay! Team Events!!. I also met Gillian who is the marketing head for Coast to Coast, which works up and down the country from Inverness to Portsmouth.

Hey lovelies!!
I was invited along to this cute secret pop up shop on the weekend. Me and Coco (Fashion Blogger) met Maeve the co-found of Betty’s Boutique during Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fair.
https://www.facebook.com/events/483114355148798/
Betty’s Boutique is a Secret Pop-Up shop specialising in good quality Retro and Vintage clothing and nick-naks.
We will also be exhibiting oil paintings and prints by Artist Maeve O’Loughlin whose work is inspired by Retro Fashion.
The shop will be open Saturday & Sunday and throughout the day there will be a Tea Party with Soulful Tunes and Fancy Cupcakes.
Saturday night the shop will be transformed and they’ll be an underground private party
The vintage pop up boutique was a two day Saturday and Sunday event from 10am-7pm with an evening party.
The Pop up shop was located at the top of Leith Walk, Edinburgh. Leith walk is an accessible locations, 5 minutes away from Edinburgh Waverly Train Station and has access to a number of central bus routes.
It was clear to see Bonny and Maeve the founders of Betty’s Boutique had put a lot of time and effort to decorate the vintage theme of the underground shop space. The founders have a great ying and yang bound together as vintage fashion lovers, Bonny vintage fashion and events experience and Maeve an upcoming artist.
Before the Event Bonny and Maeve ensured they keep the customer’s interested by posting images from Maeve’s paintings and marketing the tickets for the after party. The events page on Facebook had great comments from the audience about the paintings. Maeve’s art creations were displayed for customers to buy. So quirky and unique!Facebook comments such as –
Your paintings are beautiful
I love this!
SO wish I could be in Edinburgh this weekend to come to Betty’s boutique!
Wowsers. Beautiful!!
I will definitely try to pop by and buy this… I love it..
The mouth watering cupcakes were made by Josie Lancaster. My Instagram post of the cupcakes got a lot of attention from my followers (Yum!).
With music playing in the background and all shoppers genuinely interested in the items, I say what a great job with marketing and promoting awareness for the secret pop up!
I hope to see more from Betty’s Boutique! With the idea only 6 weeks old I believe the founders are doing great! Keep it up!
