Kamigata Party!


Happy Sunday morning to you all!

Fingers crossed you're feeling pretty fresh this morning and not too hungover....if not, a cup of tea will soon help sort it!

Last week we both went to the Kamigata Aveda salon in St Davids 2 in Cardiff to celebrate their 4th birthday with them. Luckily for us they'd roped in their next door neighbours to help them celebrate and this was none other than Vivienne Westwood so we were treated to a catwalk from them throughout the salon whilst indulging in complimentary treatments.

This is my favourite photo of the evening, all of their clothes in all of their glory!

I NEED that navy dress in my life, what a gorgeous cut! And what gorgeous models too, they had amazing hair which you'd expect in a salon but it really did look so healthy and I wanted to book myself in straight away.

As I've never been to the salon it was lovely to wander round and see all of the treatments they offer. The salon is decorated really well and feels comforting as opposed to clinical which i always prefer.

I had a complimentary eye brow shape and the lady was really nice. I'd attempted to do my own brows a week or so before hand so they needed some attention and she tidied up my mess for me!

The following 2 pictures show my other favourite looks from the night; i do love a good coat and statement bag. I love the black one in particular as black is my friend but the brown coat and bag also look stunning. If only my purse would stretch to VW!

The bags and coats on display were generally beautiful, I really loved seeing all the shapes, sizes, colours and patterns of all of them.
I'd love to be able to pull off an outfit like the one below, so pretty and perfect for winter!

I've never seen the infamous Melissa shoes before but they didn't disappoint. There were a variety on show including one with a tartan heart which was so cute for winter!

Amongst other treatments we also had our chakras done which was really interesting and we came away with our very own personalised spray of essential oils to balance our 7 chakras. I love essential oils for their different properties so this was really interesting. Here's Martyne having hers read:

It was a lovely evening and whenever I get paid from my new job I'll be sure to call in and get a treatment done at the salon. They are very professional and I look forward to choosing one from the list!

On a side note....the stylists from Vivienne Westwood were there and wandering around the store at different points. Check out those SHOES!!!

I absolutely love them, what a statement and they look like they're such good quality. I think I'd quite like a pair myself!

Have you tried the services from Kamigata? Are you a Vivienne Westwood fan too?

Cardiff Fashion Week


During the week I was luckily enough to talk to Georgina from Makeup-Pixi3 and she told me about the event on Saturday night for Cardiff Fashion Week.

I was SO excited as we'd both tried to get tickets to attend the Thursday event but unfortunately were too slow and completely missed the tickets as they sold out so fast.

This was the first time ever that Cardiff has held it's own Fashion Week and we were really excited.
You can find some more information here.

Unfortunately by the point M had already booked tickets to go home for the weekend so I would be going on my own....but I told myself to man up and go and meet some other bloggers and enjoy myself!

I met Georgina and a few other bloggers before the event for a quick drink in Starbucks to get to know each other. I will link everyone at the bottom of the page so it's easier!

After this we made our way to Jamie's Italian for some food and drinks.
As you can imagine the food was OUTSTANDING.

I spent most of the time just staring at the food and sipping on some Prosecco, yummmmm!

After this we went outside to watch the final catwalk of the show, the finale if you like!

Here are some of the photos I took!
We were lucky enough to be at the end of the cat walk so we had the models walking straight at us, there were some other camera men there too so please ignore them!

They opened up with a dance routine, and I am absolutely in love with these shoes and the leopard print jacket at the front!
I really need to find out where those are from!

After this the evening gowns from Coast came out....and I want every single one!

These two are my personal favourites. The girls look stunning in them and are so simple but look great.

Love floaty maxi dresses!

I know M is personally after the dress on the right in the above picture, it's gorgeous and flowy!

Office wear was next and they performed another dance routine.
I was just impressed they managed to move in pencil skirts and sky high heels so well!!

Mmmm, male models in suits!

These kinds of dresses are my FAVOURITE!

I love sparkle and the heels here are from Quiz, NEED!

I especially need the heels if they make my legs look this good??!
This model looks amazing in them!

It was a lovely surprise to find out that Calvin Klein also had a part to play, especially when the male model strutted his way out.

Hello! 

Cardiff Fashion Week

I also really like the underwear on the model below, so will have to go in there and check them out as the print was gorgeous.

Cardiff Fashion Week


Cannot remember the brand here but thought the male models looked pretty good!


They finished off the cat walk show with another routine/song with the sparkliest glittery black dresses known to earth and they looked amazing under the lights.

Cardiff Fashion Week

I especially like the one at the front of the photo above!
She can move in it (below) and its so well fitting and comfortable looking as well as looking stunning.

After this a group of us went to Nandos for some chicken and a gossip!

I had the lushest time meeting everyone and can't wait for the next meet up.
The cat walk show was great to watch and as you can imagine I will have to stay away from Jamie's because I will surely put on a stone every time I go otherwise!

Hope you enjoyed the post!
Do you enjoy watching fashion shows and cat walks?
What do you like from the pictures I took?
