On Saturday 6th July, I attended the FABB Event held at 2022NQ in Manchester. The event was organised by
Ray and
Tor. They had decided to keep everything quiet about the event so it was a surprise. I was anxious as I didn't know what to expect but I was also excited as I was meeting up with some lovely bloggers and I was curious to find out what Ray and Tor had planned for us. I met up with
Frances,
Hannah and
Nafisah and we spent the day together. I also spoke to
Danielle and
Joanna for the first time, which was lovely as we had only spoke online previously. I have honestly met so many lovely people through blogging.

At the event there were numerous beauty and fashion brands: South Beach Swimwear, Lavish Alice, Tinned Bananas, Derma V10, Eldora Lashes and La Moda. We were given the opportunity to introduce ourselves to the brands and other bloggers. There were loads of cupcakes! Since becoming a blogger, I have definitely eaten more cupcakes! They seem to think we're obsessed with them! But to be honest, who doesn't love a cupcake or two?!
The first stall we went to was South Beach Swimwear. As I had previously attended their event at Frurt (see post
here), I had already met
Katie. It was lovely to see her again. It gave me the opportunity to look at their beautiful swimwear again and I am definitely going to purchase the
Floral bikini even though I'm not going abroad this year. Who's going to stop me looking glamourous in my back garden?!

Next to South Beach Swimwear was Lavish Alice. I had heard of the brand before but I have to admit, I haven't looked at their clothes before. They used the clever technique of attracting bloggers over to their stand with delicious cupcakes - more cupcakes! Some of their items were gorgeous. It's definitely a brand I will pay more attention to in the future,
Then we visited the Tinned Bananas stand. This is a brand I had never heard of until the morning of the event when they emailed all the bloggers attending the FABB event to introduce themselves, which I thought was a lovely idea. They sell swimwear as well as clothing with really cool prints. I loved the body con dresses and I definitely have my eyes on a couple!
In a smaller room next door to the main room, were the brands Eldora Lashes and La Moda, who specialise in handbags and purses. Eldora Lashes have some crazy crazy lashes for extremely brave people! We all had the opportunity to choose a pair of lashes and we even had the opportunity to decorate them with gems and feathers! I refrained!
Chiara Fashion were holding a competition on the day to win a dress. All we had to do was tweet and we were in with the chance of winning one. Towards the end of the event, a tweet came through on my phone telling me I had won! I was so lucky! Unfortunately, the dress was too big but Chiara have very kindly offered to exchange it. When I recieve it, I am planning on featuring it on my blog as it's beautiful. Who knows maybe my very first OOTD! Keep your eyes peeled. We were also very lucky and received a ring from Steel Rose.
We were spoilt on the day and I left with lots of goodies. So much in fact that my arms were aching the day after from carrying them all the way to the train station. I'm not complaining though, I felt like a VIP! Thank you to FABB events for all our goodies and all the brands that sponsored the event. I have listed them all at the end of the post.
I would like to say another massive thank you to Ray and Tor for organising and putting on a FABB day! I had a great time and if you have the opportunity to go to a FABB event, I definitely recommend it.
Also a massive thank you to all the companies involved on the day and to the ones that kindly donated items for our goodie bags, we were really spoilt!
