When in Rome!


Hey guys!

It has been a long long time I know

But alas I am putting my blogging hat back on!

As some of you know I went to Rome For the World Retail Congress last week which was such a great experience and a trip I'll never forget!

Here's a little look into what I got up to!


So for the trip I was lucky enough to be dressed by Topshop (who does not love free clothes?)

I had the loveliest personal shopper to help find my outfit for the event.



Complimentary Lola's cupcake (yes please)


Some of the looks I tried on!


Wanted this jumpsuit so badly but it wasn't baggy enough (thigh problems ha)


The same day we flew off to Rome and landed safely :)



The World Retail Congress was held at the Waldorf which is one of the most beautiful hotels ever!


Lots of fun networking enjoying the scenery




Our stand for the presentation for our Ed Sheeran concept!
We had to choose icon who we thought represented the UK and develop this into a brand which was so much work but it was definitely worth it! As a team we got to work with many people with the industry such as Arcadia's head of design and Topman's design team!


I feel like I've come such a long way. Believe it or not I used to absolutely hate public speaking. Anyway I could avoid it I would, but now I've presented in front of Sir Philip Green, Touker Suleyman from Dragons Den and many other major influencers. You'd be be surprised what opportunities come your way when you overcome your fear!


My outfit for the day. All +Topshop 


And of course some sightseeing had to be done! Rome is too beautiful not roam (sorry I had to do it)









Unforetunately I didn't get my Lizzie McGuire moment (sobs)


My awesome team

My favourite night was definitely at the gala where there was great food, a great atmosphere and great company!

My outfit for the gala which was you guessed it +Topshop 



For the journey home I kept it casual of course

I think its safe to say I've got the travelling bug, now just to find the funds ha
