VIP Filling station relaunch

Hey Blogbees!!

As mentioned from the #fsmoments post, I got invited along to the VIP Filling Station Relaunch event for the filling station in the High Street, Edinburgh.

I went along with one of my close friends Sabba 🙂

As we were walking through the busy high street, we instantly noticed a buzz outside the Filling Station. They had PR girls with the Filling Station T-shirts/jumpers handing out leaflets for the public.

We were welcomed in by the red carpet, where we were entertained by the Edinburgh Basketball Freestyle group @bballfreestyle. The charming guys entertained me and Sabba before we even walked into the restaurant. They made us do this trick spinning a basket ball which you had to pose with (I clearly did not pose as I was laughing so much). I loved this aspect as we were having a laugh before we even went into the venue and it gathered an audience with passer byes. 2 3 4 5

I wanted to keep my look class and sexy, so I went with this T version of a black Midi with Strappy sandal heals.

Even though Strap sandals are so last year I have falling back in love with this Summer Spring 2014.

I absolutely love the body chain! I saw this look many years ago at a friends birthday and could not find in any shops in the high street! Last summer 2013 they made a come back but the chains were more detailed and embroidered. I came a cross this thin verson which is exactly the type of chain I’ve always wanted! (so I bought two tehehe). This look really dresses a look up! Love Love Love!!

Overall I had a good laugh at the Filling station! They had a live local band playing whilst eating our meal :). I asked Lauren the PR Assistant, how they decide who to invite. It was great to hear the Filling Station, Edinburgh High street – invited local businesses around the location to the event. This friendly business approach will promote community and growth of each other success! great to hear good work ethics!

Great bunch of people that work at the Filling Station, High street. During our meal we had Sebastian the restaurant manager ask us how our meal was and even had a chat with us. Our beautiful Waitress Emily who has been working for Filling Station for a few years now, was great! As busy as the restaurant was I never felt rushed or Emily ensured we were refreshed and even advised Sabba what to order 🙂

Keep up the great work! I will definitely be back soon 😉

Hey Little lovelies!

I’ve been a bit of a busy bee! Went down to London for a few days for my big sisters surprise baby shower! I have also been working harder than usual as my writing will be featured in a International magazine!! July 2014!

AND Not long till my graduation ceremony!! Been stressing about my outfit theme :(…. Hopefully post a blog on the Graduation Ball and the Graduation Ceremony.

I was invited along to this exclusive Cocktail Master class on the 12th May 2014 hosted by Filling Station, Edinburgh Omni!20140617-220553-79553155.jpg

The event was an invite only gathering for lifestyle bloggers, photographers, food critics and Edinburgh reviewers.

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.

The cocktail master class was hosted by Andy Pearson a Drinks development who has changed the drinks and cocktail culture in his 15 years in the industry. The event was also hosted by Radio Heart presenter Paul Harper.

How exciting blogbees’!

I got invited along to a bloggers exclusive event :D! I met a bunch of amazing Scottish bloggers! I got invited along by Scott Harry Emery – a male fashion and lifestyle blogger from Glasgow, who is shortlisted for Company Magazine’s Style blogger award 2014! All the best Scott! Represent the power for Scotland!

20140530-015850-7130383.jpg

The event was host by Crabtree & Evelyn-specialise in fine soaps from around the world. Located in the heart of Edinburgh, Hanover Street.10325654_10202342170856260_2609883596591322200_n

20140530-015758-7078961.jpg

yay free products! Yum!

I was welcomed in by Lisa, the store manager who has been with Crabtree & Evelyn for 10 fantastic years! All 13 bloggers were welcomed with a soft drink, a cute cupcake and even a goodie bag! I heart free products!20140530-015849-7129041.jpg 20140530-015758-7078523.jpg

20140530-015800-7080726.jpg

As I started looking around the store I was kindly approached by Jamie Rockers– Social Media and PR manager for Crabtree & Evelyn. As I did not know anyone and was nervous, I was glad Jamie came over and even complimented my style and my online exclusive Michael Kors clutch (Birthday present from my sister!! Lucky Sultana!).

Jamie had mentioned she has done a few Bloggers events around the UK. And said bloggers events are more busier than customer events! Great work Jamie!

I was given this luxurious hand treatment by Fatima a sales assistant at the store. I was using the products from the Pomegranate, Argan & Grapeseed ranger which is one of the best sellers! I asked about the other products and Fatima told me about there Eau de Pearfum fragrances. These special fragrances were Harrods exclusive fragrances and were even in the top 6 best sellers!

20140530-015849-7129946.jpg 20140530-015848-7128120.jpg

All the bloggers were very approachable and we exchanged blog details! Yay new Instagrammar’s 🙂 I was surprised to find out not everyone has a business cards, which I advised would be a handy card to have at events like this. Alexandra had a discussion on Twitter asking other bloggers thoughts.

Overall I met some great people! And my hands feel so soft and girly (compared to my usual gym hands). I hope to see more bloggers exclusive events! As suggested previously bloggers events have much more a lasting affect than customer events. The trend hashtag for the evening was #crabtreehandytips which has been used on my Instagram uploads and tweets 🙂

They even have a food range! I Love!
