Fashion&Tingz: the only way is essex

Hi readers, I've missed you oh so much! I've moved house in the last couple of weeks & re-located my office space & work so everything has been hectic, hectic, hectic! I'm not complaining though as I feel like this year I've really been able to live my dream & I know that it's onwards & upwards from here!

A few weeks ago I was invited to the amazing launch party for Lauren Popes new collection with inthestyle.co.uk so I was so excited to take lots of pics so I could blog about the fabulous day! I'm a big fan of Lauren's style & TOWIE so it was a pleasure to meet her in the flesh & my goodness, she is gorgeous!

When I first arrived at the Sanctum Soho hotel it was absolutely stunning! I went upstairs to the event which was on the rooftop of the hotel & it literally felt like I was in an exotic destination! The sun was shining, luckily! & we also got to try some exotic fruit that was shipped from Thailand! Now I'm not talking about your bog standard granny smith apple, I'm talking Dragon Fruit, Lychee & other fruits I could never pronounce! So that was something fun & interactive that everyone got to do! We also had a few cocktails & chatted while we waited for Lauren to arrive! Once she did it was a pleasure to meet her, she talked with all the bloggers there, took pics with us & was just a complete darling! We then watched the catwalk show for the new collection which was fabulous! All the items had a beautiful summery theme. There were a lot of pastel colours & of course loads of co-ord sets which Lauren has clearly been loving at the moment! Everything was super feminine & girly but she also incorporated women's tailoring into the collection! There were a few suit pieces which I'm completely obsessed with, Lydia Bright arrived in the pastel blue trouser & blazer suit & of course she looked fab in it!

Here's some pics I took on the day!
