Bristol Fashion Week is an event put on twice a year by the Mall at Cribbs Causeway to showcase the seasons hottest trends; and unlike the catwalks of London or New York, the items are available for you to purchase right there and then, even handily labelled within the shops for some pre, or post show browsing!
Despite living in Bristol all my life, I’d never actually attended one of the shows before, never quite sure what to expect. When I was invited along to take part in the Live Blogging Event however, I jumped at the chance; you can see a replay of the blogging action here
The folks at The Mall (Amy and Gina, you get a special shout-out here) couldn’t have been more welcoming, and before the show started we were treated to pink fizz and cake laid on by M&S (blogger heaven!). The show itself lasted an hour and ran through some of the seasons hottest trends from retailers such as John Lewis, Hobbs, Marks and Spencer, Miss Selfridge to name just a few…I had Best.Friend. Trudi on one side of me (and the gorgeous Bristol Beauty Blogger on my other side) and she snapped some photos whilst I tweeted away; mainly plotting kidnap of the gorgeous male models and cooing over far too many outfits; a stunning printed jacket from M&S instantly pops to mind!
It would have been impossible to capture everything on camera, or blog everything that happened, but you can grab more information from the Mall’s facebook page and the Bristol Fashion Week Blog . It was a great experience, and if you ever get a chance to go, then I urge you to do so! It was also fantastic to put names to many gorgeous blogger faces, although I wasn’t as sociable as I’d have liked, shyness took over and I left shortly after….blogging ladies, this means a South West meet/non meet soon, yes?
Were you there? Have you ever been? What were/are your views?

I loved the show too, although your right about getting shy in front of all those pro bloggers. Hope you had a great time and maybe bump into you at future events ?

Aww, it looks like it was great. I’ve been to it for the past four years now but couldn’t make this one 🙁 Typical that the one I couldn’t make was the first year they do a bloggers event!
how long does the event go on for? I’m off work for a bit and am bored as hell. xx
Think I saw you there!
Great post sweetie, I love your blog!

I really wanted to go but yet again missed out. Looks like it was great fun! I know how you feel with the shyness but Yes to a South West meet up soon!
It looks like a great day, and of course where fashion and male models are involved it’s likely to be a good combination xxx
I had such a great day. Blogger meet soon please!! I never knew there were so many fashionable Bristol bloggers. Since moving to Bristol I left all my girlfriends behind so it would be lovely to make some new friends. I really enjoyed chatting to you it would be lovely to meet up again soon! xxxxx
