The Fashion Bloggers Brunch @ Arnotts

The Fashion Bloggers' Brunch kicked off the 2010 calendar @ Arnotts this Saturday with a growing list of new style scribes. Laura from JustLolo and Ailbhe from Soooali joined us for an endless table of yummy treats, coffee and Buck's Fizz. I was most excited about the more-than-generous goody bag which included Instant Facelift from Skin Doctors cosmeceuticals, Rituals Yogi Flow shower gel and a gorgeous charm key ring from New Zealand label Kathy. More importantly, my new Coccinelle umbrella will keep me stylishly dry at tomorrow's Hennessy Gold Cup. And it wasn't just the goody bag that made table conversation. Convos included Blanaid's Style convention in Kilkenny, OffShoot's amazing dress knocked down to €50, Help My Style's 12 velvet dickie bows for €12 on eBay, Nicky's Rag Tales Bali-esque karma bracelets which are gifted to friends (and which I am wearing!), greige nail varnie, the ironic unlikeliness of Facebook doppelgangers, a potential new vintage/charity shop opening in Dublin, Kate Moss' new Longchamps range @ Arnotts which launches March 1st and the perfect venue and that was the Conran Shop. Muchos thanks to the lovely Sarah Williams @Arnotts for hosting what was a fabulous Saturday brunch. xxx
