The #CDFmeet

One of the reasons there was no blog post yesterday, is because I, along with Chantelle, Laura & Leanne were finishing putting together the goody bags for the Cardiff blogger meet up (#CDFmeet) and then attending the event to meet 27 other beautiful local bloggers :)  Here's a bit of a photo diary of the day :)

The goody bags (kindly donated by Ollie & Nic) 

The venue (The Brewhouse in Cardiff)

Laura's delicious cupcakes

Laura from What Laura Did, one of our organisers :) 

Leanne from A Slice of my life Wales - the organiser who started this event :) 

Chantelle from Daisy Dayz, our other organiser :) 

Starting off with some BOGOF Cocktails (I had cosmoploitans!) 

Some locally themed art on the wall (Aled Jones, Catherine Jenkins and Bryn Terfel)

Bloggers starting to arrive :) 

The St Davids Fashion show (Model is wearing Boux Avenue)

Then we got to meet the stylist of the fashion show - he's wearing a Vivienne Westwood suit 

He also got asked for an autograph from some little fans :)

Finally home after a wonderful but tiring day, with a cup of tea and American Pie the Reunion

Lovely earrings from Little Moose

The goodies in my bag :)  I donated my Birchbox and Benefit mascara (and Twisted Sister serum) to another bag as I already have them and have reviewed them :)

All in all the day was amazing, everything came together beautifully and timings worked out perfectly too :)  I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that came, the fact that we didn't have masses of people drop out really meant a lot, so thank you all :)

And, a super duper massive thank you to all the brands that donated products for the goody bags too: Birchbox, Benefit, Ollie & Nic, Macadamia, New Look, Escentual, Elemis, Thomas Sabo, SheSaidBeauty, Vera Mode, Lush, Twisted Sister, Little Moose & Crabtree & Evelyn - sorry if I've missed anyone but I think that's it :)
