Want to find our more about blogging style and beauty? This is the session for you. Hear from successful beauty and fashion writers and bloggers about how they went about it, and get the lowdown on building relationships with brands. Plus, a style insider on the rise and rise of this blogging phenomenon.
But OMG what to wear…and what to pack? I leave at stupid o'clock on Friday morning and have a day of PR meetings. Then all day Saturday is spent at the Blogfest. Oh, and when I booked my tickets, I told Mumsnet, 'No, I'll not need a bag in the hold, just book me with hand luggage'! <slaps self around the face>
Anyway, as things stand now, I think I am going to wear my Marks & Spencer (altered) dress with white shirt under and ankle boots for the Friday:

Good luck, I bet you'll be fabulous. I love the Gok dress - who cares if it's too formal? It's good to stand out, particularly in an outfit as wow as that! Enjoy
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of outfits! You will look fab whatever you choose. Have fun! Gina x
ReplyDeleteI love the bow on the Yumi dress, so cute, and a great autumn colour. I think maybe go with your gut - if you're not convinced with the Gok dress don't do it!

Ah thanks Sara - wise words on the dress too. Good to see you the other night…shame you had to go early. See you at GL's party? Avx
DeleteI know I felt like a total cat leaving early but glad to see you we're all kept amused at least!! Yes in my diary for end of Nov looking forward to getting the mumsnet
DeleteGossip! My iPhone's being a big of a wench, sorry for the oddly placed comments x
DeleteHi Avril I think both dresses look great,is there one that feels more comfortable than the other? My friend Mel and I are coming to blogfest and are so excited. We had a try on session yesterday and our clothes are more on the smart side rather than casual, after all, its an excuse for a girl to dress up once in a while! I have gone with a black and white geo print from store 21. It would be great to say hi to you,I have been following you for a while now and think you are an inspiration to women and you always look great. I have been converted to scarf wearing thanks to you,( and my sister ). You both clearly knew the power of adding a scarf long before me. See you Saturday. Nikki
ReplyDeleteOh Nikki, thank you! I need to do a try on this afternoon. Then I'll decide for sure! Really hope to meet you on Saturday. Please come over if you see me! Axx
DeleteYou should try them all on and do a help me choose on Avenue 57!
ReplyDeleteWhat about a blazer, jeans, heels look - I love that for comfort and style
The Gok dress looks lovely but I think I agree with you - formal
The yellow dress is SUPER cute!

Come on girl you can do it! I packed for a weeks holiday with a carry on and took quite a few dresses! Good Luck with everything, shame I never know about these things I would have loved to come see you. Alyson was my youngest daughters tutor at Uni and I have followed her blog for years, small world in Blogland xx
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous time Avril! You will look great whatever you wear:)

All the very best Avril, looking forward to hearing all the biz!
ReplyDeleteAvril.......can't help really, I'd go with whichever you feel most "you" in and remember you can never be overdressed in my opinion! Have a fab time. Hope you will postal about it next week.

I agree with Claire above but after reading your post through again, you say the GOK dress is amazing so I'm inclined to think that this is the number to go for. It's black - black is just wonderful and always looks chic and anyone fashion always harks back to black at the end of the day. And I'm sure you'll have a pair of shoes in the back of your wardrobe that will work with it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun, report back and most important of all - enjoy it.
Love your mustard dress,yes you should try both on and let us vote :) have a fab time.Can't wait to hear all about it ...
ReplyDeleteAvril - you will look great! I'm also going to BlogFest, which I am v excited about, but still worrying about what to wear...! Good luck with your session.
ReplyDeleteGo for the Gok dress, trust me. Spice it up with old accessories!

How about the zebra zara top and black skinny jean you wore for the Benefit night? I loved that and a bit different from a dress whilst still smart and chic.
ReplyDeleteAvril, good luck with the Blogfest, I know you'll be amazing and I'd love to be there to hear you speak. Looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing the photos x
ReplyDeleteGood luck! ...accessorize. :o)
