The Blogger Brunch – Curvy Couture Road Show 2015

The Blogger Brunch – Curvy Couture Road Show 2015

Our first official morning in Melbourne Liv and I, in our capacity as official Curvy Couture Road Show 2015 bloggers, were asked to attend the Blogger’s Brunch at the gorgeous Little Mule Cafe. Hosted by the event organisers it gave us the perfect opportunity to catch up with the other bloggers, meet some new faces and drink all the coffee Melbourne had on offer. Yum.

In a last-minute outfit switch, I changed into a completely different outfit than I had planned before leaving. I wore my very 90’s City Chic, dual-layer top, paired with the always there when you need it Harlow Scuba Skirt, and my New Balance sneakers. Then because Melbourne was being Melbourne, the duster jacket from Boohoo.com. How very 90’s sitcom girl of me, don’t you think?

So that’s what I wore, but what did we do?

Well, I’m glad you asked. The ladies all met at the cafe, Liv and I, on time for once made a little detour around the block before finding the location just 15 minutes after the start time. A new record. Settling into the bar stools around the lavishly presented tables (Melbourne, you’re so pretty) we gave out hugs and semi-squealed hellos.

With breakfast served, and more coffee ordered, we received a rundown of the Curvy Couture Road Show 2015 events to follow. The media times, the event, the after party. We had all the details, and things just continued to get more and more exciting. We were here. Yeeeesss. All the time and effort spent to get here was a memory now. Now it was time to let our hair down and enjoy.

Which of course we did. Big time. HA.

Let me say though that these bloggers, the women we have met through blogging, they make up some of the best people I know. Sure we live interstate some of us, dress differently, enjoy different things. But in the end when we scooped Nat and Hayley up and dragged them back to our hotel room, we were as at home as if we had known each other our entire lives. That’s the upside of sharing yourself online. The plus in a world that can seem full of negatives. There are people out there who will be your friend, genuinely, if you let them. And that’s the best bit!

Now, some more photos!

Lock it in Eddie: The Curvy Couture Road Show 2015

With less than two weeks until I fly out for the Curvy Couture Road Show 2015 in Melbourne, I decided it was time to mention my plans on the blog. I will be one of the Media Bloggers again this year and hope to get some great shots and behind the scenes goss for you all.

Because let’s face it, the clothes are cool, but the ladies are what we are REALLY interested in. My style of Curvy Couture Road Show 2015 reporting will be; who’s there, what brands we loved, who drank too much vodka… Oh wait. That’ll be meeee! Guaranteed. You know, light, easy and predominately on Instagram. The usual.

The Queensland team will be strongly represented this year with a number of the ladies making the trip. As much as I’m a keen, make my own way type, I’m excited to have company along, so we can eat, drink and be merry together. I’ll leave the plane seat squishing to them though… Haha.

If you want to stalk us, we are at the Stamford and will be doing not much more than drinking by the pool and sleeping while there. Hardly riveting. We will be attending all events on the schedule, and I expect to come back to Queensland a few kgs heavier from once again eating and drinking my way through the best Melbourne has to offer.

But serious consideration must go to what the heck I am going to wear… And it has been. I’ll be channelling my usual slouchy style but with some special occasion upgrades. Like I bought new sneakers for examples. Haha. Watch this space, more updates to come!

Want to check out the posts from last year?

Start here for my hello I’m going post.
