So Sue Me: 'What Happened Next' Book Launch

If you're in the blogging industry or you have any kind of interest in fashion and beauty, then you will obviously be familiar with Suzanne Jackson of So Sue Me. Suzanne is Irelands top beauty blogger and already has two books under her hermes belt! And I was one of the very lucky girls who got to attened the fabulous launch of her second book at Lillie Bordello's.

The gorgeous Nirina from Killer Fashion and I at the launch

Everyone looked stunning but not half as unreal as Suzanne Jackson! Her flawless makeup (Fiona Hogan) and her amazing hair (RedVelvet Hair Salon) was goddess like, and her dress (From cariscloset.ie) was super elegant and sexy. So looked every inch the perfect woman.

There was adorable sparkly, ultra girly cupcakes and a free bar! She really pulled out all the stops to make her fans and loved ones feel special.

I also had an amazing chat with her parents, they are so incredibly sweet and down to earth and seemed to be bursting with pride for their eldest daughter Suzanne.

And not to mention a photobooth..which we totally raided to absolute bits by me Nirina from Killer Fashion, Lorna from Fashion Boss and Mei Ling from Darling buds of Mei. Looking good girlos

And her newest book was on sale! Needless to say I grabbed my very own signed copy! I was over the moon! This book is absolutely perfect if you are a blogger or an aspiring blogger and would be a fantastic gift this christmas! Available in Easons and online at sosueme.ie 

Congratulations Suzanne! What an amazing achievement and an unforgetable night!

November seems the season to be jolly this year! Christmas parties left right and centre! And I aint complaining!

So I was Delighted when Nirina & Filomena invited me to their 'Christmas blogger party', I saw the invite on Facebook and I knew this was going to be amazing! Organised and Hosted by the beautiful Aoibhe, Who flew all the way home from Australia and STILL somehow found time to organise all of this! Aoibhe, you're some woman for one woman!

The party was taken place in Opium on Wexford street in Dublin, and it was a beyond perfect setting for a Christmas party! With dark lighting and a whole floor to ourselves how could we complain? There was wine...oh so much wine, gorgeous deserts, a tonne of photographs and exciting goodie bags for everyone in the audience! Inside the bags included:

We were absolutely spoilt!!!

And it doesn't stop there! There was a best dressed competition and everything! With everyone buzzing with excitement, trying to guess who looked killer enough to win this extra bag full of Cocoa Brown gooodies! And of course the stunning Agata won and deserved every inch of that prize, she looked festive and utterly gorgeous! Well done Agata!

And of course it wouldn't be a Christmas party without turning up dressed exactly like someone else!! Thanks to Jessika Banaghan for being my super sparkly twin all night! You rocked that dress!!!

Vaseline through the years - Event

Hello everyone hope you're all well and good, and welcome October(my birthday month, yay)!!

earlier in September I was invited to celebrate Vaseline's superb party in none other than the penthouse suite in The Morgan hotel Dublin.

This was my first event so I was super excited & nervous, not realising that I could bring anyone I attended all by my lonesome... awwww.

As I walked into the penthouse suite, I genuinely could not believe the effort Thinkhouse & Vaseline went though to throw this gorgeous, classy, girly party. There were cocktails upon arrival, prosecco, a nail bar and a hair & beauty station! I was blown away! It was really refreshing to meet other bloggers and people in the business too!

There were little tubs of Limited Edition Vaseline everywhere! As well as candles, food, drinks and laughter

The rooftop deck is where it was all happening, the decor was to die for, complete with 1950's style caravan doubled as a bar handing out an array of marvelous cocktails! 

On exiting, we all got handed a gorgeous goodie bag full of Vaselines skincare and lip care range! I was thrilled! I met some genuinely amazing people, had a brilliant time, got a little tipsy and had my hair styled, got spoiled by Vaseline and got to actually see what a penthouse suite looks like. It was an amazing event.

Congratulations Vaseline!! You must be doing something right!
