Bloggers United 4

Wouldn't it be nice to see and meet all of your favorite bloggers in one place? I figure that the founders of Bloggers United had the same question in mind when they first conceived the idea. The thought of meeting one's style icons in one place equates to a brilliant experience. Now, if only I could meet my favorite international bloggers as well...

Aside from the obvious agenda of shopping, I was there to help man the booth of Melai who I have been assisting in styling Solenn Heusaff for Fashbook. Having attended the previous Bloggers United, I knew how crazy the crowd could be and how I could easily turn into one of them. So I kept myself in check and my priorities in line as I headed to the shoes before anything else.

I was at the venue the whole day so I decided to wear something comfy - and totally bipolar. Since I wasn't sure if it was gonna be cold or warm, I went for a mix of both temperatures: a fuzzy sweater and a pair of shorts. Turns out I was spot-on with the bipolar thing because the temperature inside the venue went from warm to freezing within the day.

Manning the booth took up most of my time so I wasn't able to go around much and take pictures. I'm not complaining though. As a seller, I was more than happy to cater to the shoppers because I have never in my life seen such enthusiastic ones. It was like Christmas shopping on steroids.

Glad my business partner, Gian, was able to lend a hand too.

By the time Day 1 was over, there was hardly anything left for Day 2 goers. If that doesn't spell success then I don't know what else can. Til the next Bloggers United!
