REVIEW: @Littlewoods Christmas Bloggers Event

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Littlewoods Christmas Bloggers Event in London on Friday.  This was my first 'Bloggers Event' so I was both very excited but nervous at the same time.


So Boo, Roo and Tigger Too headed off on a train journey...

Roo was so excited about the train ride

Time for lunch (although I forgot to pack anything for me... Doh!)
All this travelling is hard work

The train was delayed which meant we were late arriving in London so we hopped into a cab...


And later than planned we arrived (sorry Littlewoods ladies), we were welcomed so warmly and invited in to join the fun.


The music was playing, mulled wine was flowing and the children were all having fun.  As soon as I had parked Tigger's pushchair up Roo had spotted the toys and the stand with all the adorable girls clothes on.


Roo first tried this gorgeous dress...
freespirit Chiffon Party Dress

...however when the lovely Abi showed her this... and she was smitten
Ladybird Net Prom Dress

she teamed this fabulous dress with these...
Ladybird Lil Low Heeled Shoes

She then had glitter applied to her cheeks and her hair styled... Roo truly looked like a princess.

With Roo happy and now playing with Tigger and the toys, I thought I'd check out what they had for me...

I tried this top from Colleen Rooney...
Coleen Metallic Jacquard Spot Blouse

...which I loved but when asked if i wanted to try a few dresses (I'm not a dress kinda girl), I thought 'why not'...

This was gorgeous from the Holly Willoughby collection but unfortunately they only had a size smaller and I couldn't squeeze my boobs in
Holly WilloughbyJersey Bustier Maxi Dress

Next I tried this (in black)... (also by the lovely Holly Willoughby)
Holly WilloughbyFrilled Tea Dress
... and I fell in love.  It is a gorgeous dress, not too short and fitted well

I teamed it up with black tights and the most fab shoes I have ever tried on...
Love Label Loren Glitter Platform Court Shoes

Sadly there wasn't anything for Tigger's age group but he was very happy playing with the assortment of toys...
Toy Story Lotso Huggin Bear  Sesame Street Count and Crunch Cookie Monster
And his favourite...
Little Tikes Play n Scoot Pirate Ship

After I had my hair and make-up done, we were treated to a mini photoshoot, which considering I am someone who takes the photos and not normally in them, I felt completely at ease (photos to follow).


I met up with some lovely 'Mummy Bloggers' and their children, it was so nice to put faces to the blogs I have been reading so long.  Roo really enjoyed playing with Brooke from Blog by Baby and talked about her all the way home


All the ladies were so warm and friendly, Roo felt like a princess from the moment we arrived and I left feeling very special.  There is something for everyone in the Christmas collection and it wasn't all partywear, there were some lovely everyday pieces too from coats and tops to fab kiddies PJ's.


A 'BIG' Thank You to all for making us all feel so welcomed



I'm still pining after the Love Label Loren shoes, so if anyone would like to buy me these I'd be ever so grateful (#cheekyrequest)
