So, on the promise of a goodie bag and with my selfie-taking as good as I could get it, I hopped on the metro and headed to French Connection to meet up with my blogging buddy the lovely Lisa and her fab friend Fiona (Fee for short). On arriving, we were told that we could pick anything we wanted from the store to wear for our Selfie shoot, then we could make our way up to hair and makeup to be preened ready for the camera. Lots of the girls at the event had gone for full outfits for the shoot, but I just wanted a real statement piece that would look good on the camera. In the end I chose this jacket:
French Connection (obvs!) £150 |
Next we headed upstairs to a pop up hair and beauty salon provided by Regis and Benefit. Whilst waiting, I managed to catch up with the lovely Emma, who introduced me to Amy, who was equally as lovely (the best thing about blogging is the people that you meet along the way!). Lisa, Emma and Amy all had their hair styled into loose waves, whilst Fee went for a few curls in the front of her hair. I went for big and curly and absolutely loved how it looked. I also loved my makeup! I've never had my makeup done properly before so it felt like a really special treat, I've even booked to go back in June to get it done again!

A few snaps from the event and my finished hair and makeup.
Then it was Selfie time! I was given a phone and sent into a booth where I had to take 5 photos and then choose my best three. The photos are then displayed in the window of French Connection, and the person with the most votes wins a shopping spree. I don't expect to win, but if you're feeling really kind and would like to vote for me, you can do so here! (thanks in advance!) Here are my #canthelpmyselfie's:
You can vote for all three of us here! I particularly love the one with my eyes closed!!! Could only happen to me!
We ended the night with a delicious cupcake from Pet Lamb Patisserie and a viewing of our silly selfie's up on the French Connection window. They're going to be there for a few days yet, so if you're passing, you can also vote for us by pressing the hand under our photograph!
Oooh and I almost forgot, we also got an amazing goodie bag!
Thanks to French Connection for such a fab event, and to Benefit and Regis for their styling!
Don't forget to vote for us here!
