Motel Rocks Bloggers Evening

Last Thursday I attended the Motel Rocks Bloggers evening. It's always difficult for me to get to events in London because I live and work in Devon, but with the offer of cocktails, cupcakes, the chance to view the new Christmas collection AND take home an item of my choice, I'm sure you'll agree that it was too good an opportunity to miss out on. With Selina from Flying Saucer in charge of invites, the event turned out to be a total blog fest and I got to meet some of my favourite bloggers including Kate, Lily and Charlene. These kind of events are always daunting to me, but as my friend Jordanna and I soon discovered, it was nothing a few mojitos couldn't help with...

I wore the Motel Rocks 'Claudia'* dress to the evening, while Jordanna wore a gorgeous leather dress from H&M, which I now need in my wardrobe. My leopard print bag is from Accessorize and her tapestry shoes are from Office.

The girls from Glossybox were also at the evening, including the lovely Lily who I'd met previously at the Look Show. We could also get some nail art done courtesy of Emma from Boom Nails, but unfortunately, by the time we got there the list was already as long as my arm! After the event we were lucky enough to choose an item from the collection to take home. Being my typically indecisive self, I couldn't choose something on the night, so I'm still deciding. Help me?

The first black dress would be quite a typical choice for me, being somewhat of a black dress collector, while the second black dress has the mesh detailing, Stella McCartney inspired feel that I've been coveting for a while. The sequin dress was shown at the evening in black and seemed to be a favourite amongst a lot of the bloggers. Finally, the playsuit was available in a range of colours on the night including a gorgeous oxblood shade. I love it, but the short length and seriously dramatic plunge neck worries me. What do you think?
