Yesterday I headed to the Brum Blogger Meet, a fabulous day organised by Fritha of The Fish Tank and Claire of the Jazzpad. I wore my Holly Willoughby for Very.co.uk dress, H&M scarf and dove print cardigan, New Look shoes (looking and feeling a little worse for wear after getting soaked in Manchester last weekend), Mulberry Roxanne bag, Dorothy Perkins tights, Tu at Sainsburys coat and some Miss Selfridge earrings for the occasion.
"Follow the yellow bags, follow the yellow bags, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow bags!"
It was wonderful to meet so many lovely girls who I feel like I've known on Twitter and through blogs for so long. I started off with the group of vintage hunters who were destined for Cow and a really cheap shop along the way which I don't know the name of. The adventure led to the procurement of two lovely dresses so I will photograph them for another post. One is truly a fairytale frock.
Hattie of Inside the Mind of a Disco Ball and I were Luella twins when along with Rebecca of It's Cohen we headed off to T K Maxx in search of Luella SS09 goodness. Thank you to both of them for the photographs in this post which I obviously didn't take myself! A lot of the Luella I saw on a previous trip is now gone but there are some dresses left. They are still moderately expensive at £199, which is all very well if it fits you perfectly and you have an occasion for it. Look at that lovely floral detail on the back!
Hattie has a polka dot addiction, and also some name sticker issues, but I think we all had some of those.
We were set a few challenges, one of which was to find the most extravagant hat or hair accessory. I am a great lover of millinery, despite my overly large head getting in the way sometimes, so this was just my sort of challenge. I am so happy to have won with the extravagant red fluffy feather creation, which looked like a huge flower, from Debenhams. This means I got a prize, and it could not be more 'me'. The Little Fille Daisy headband is the cutest thing in pastel tones and with a floral bow.
Everyone united for the evening meal as we headed to Red Peppers within the Mailbox.
We bloggers were truly spoilt with the goodies provided for us. Many thanks to all the awesome companies who made the day that extra bit special, they are: Jon Richard, Max C London, Romwe, Motel Rocks, So Charming, Missguided, Find Me a Gift, Crown and Glory, Little Fille and Clothing at Tesco. I feel like such a lucky girl.
Thank you to Fritha and Claire again and all the other girls. I had such a wonderful day and my only complaint is that I didn't get to talk to more of you for longer.

Glad you had a good time, it was such a lovely day. Really love the floral detail on your dress. Shame we didn't get much time to chat, we should do it again sometime and just stay in Starbucks to talk! The goodie bags are so incredible, can't get over how lucky we all are. x x

looks like a fab time! Love your outfit and wow, goody bags...
Gorgeous! It looks like such a fun day. And your hair looks great, too – was this with the rag curls? :)
I think evil blogger is disabling my comments or something as I'm sure I commented this yesterday along with others and now they're all gone : (
I love the bow you won, headbands + bows + florals = a big win!
It was so nice chatting to you at dinner whilst my mouth burned from that chicken, I've already been hearing talk of reunions/doing it again and this makes me happy!
xx
I was following everyone's tweets on the day and it looked like it was so much fun. wish I could have been there. Definitely sounds like it was a great day.
Follow the yellow bags....ha! That was the only way I didn't get lost!
Was a lovely day indeed, and I cannot wait for the next time.x.
I love that photo of me with the sticker in my hair. Damn thing!
It was sad the dresses were such weird fits.. but probably good because then I probably would have been tempted to buy one!
@esme and the lane way
Yes it was the rag curl effect! I'm really pleased with how they turned out, and stayed in for that matter! :)
It was lovely to meet you on Saturday. That Little Fille headband is gorgeous! xx
This looks so amazing! I love all the little goodies too :)
I am hoping to go to a blogger meet up but in the south west area, super excited but also a tad nervous too!
