Dublin Fashion Festival || Bloggers Event

With the Dublin Fashion Festival starting next week, and after the success of the launch party recently, I was delighted to be invited along to the DFF blogger meet-up for a quiz and some mingling. Although, everyone there was a fashion expert, our knowledge and skills in “chiconomics” (the branch of knowledge concerned with the art of being chic and all things chic) was really put to the test during the quiz. And, when something so serious, as fashion bloggers’ fashion knowledge is questioned, we have no choice but to defend ourselves and prove our worth.

Oh okay, maybe it wasn’t as life altering as I just made it seem, but some of those questions really were hard! We did have the help of Samsung Galaxy Tablets to cheat…and by cheat I of course mean, lend a helping hand.

Hosted by the lovely Lorna Weightman, writer of Irish style blog – StyleIsle.ie, we got to bond over our individual love and passion for fashion, whilst having a laugh over nibbles and LBD cocktails (look out for this one during DFF, it’s fab!). I loved Lorna’s outfit all courtesy of Awear’s A/W collection, which is hitting stores soon!

Also on the night were spot prizes for most stylish, which was awarded to the beautiful Emma Henderson from Fluff and Fripperies. She wore a shirt from H&M Paris, a skirt from River Island, Boots by Kurt Geiger, Ring by YSL, Necklace by Red Ruby Rouge, and Lipstick by Urban Decay called BANG! (her Favourite lippy) to top it all off. Emma has been writing her blog since October 2010 and often has features in Xposé, Metro Ireland, Beaut.ie and SheSaidBeauty.ie. I asked her about her favourite part of DFF and she said:

“I love how it showcases Dublin’s fashion and also brings the city to life”.

Other than her love for lipsticks her favourite fashion piece is ankle boots, not surprising then, that she was sporting her favourite Kurt Geiger pair.
The event was a really great chance to chat with other fashion bloggers, have some great nibbles and tasty cocktails and hear all about the great things planned for the festival. I’ll be doing some style-spotting over the four days, so keep an eye out for me!
