Lily and I were picked up from Charing Cross in a taxi and taken to Claridge's to have afternoon tea. Now I don't like tea, but the orange and passionfruit tea I had there was gorgeous. Like hot Ribena's more glamorous cousin. With a small group of other bloggers and writers, we chatted about blogging, brands and Juicy Couture with members of the Juicy team. We also had a gander at the gorgeous winter lookbook - if you thought Juicy Couture only did velour tracksuits, have a peek and think again! Apparently Juicy has a new president who has refreshed the brand's image and marketing approach and, as a result, this was their first UK blogger event!
Lily in the beautiful bog.
Is it crass to discuss the contents of the goody bags..? I am always curious about that sort of thing so I shan't delay the goss any further! My bag had some Elizabeth Arden 8 hour moisturiser, a 100ml bottle of Viva La Juicy (which is my actual perfume, so I was leaping with glee - ask Lily!), a NARS lipgloss, a book of Vogue Front Covers, and a £20 Nails Inc voucher, which I spent almost instantly after the event on this set for weak nails.
Thanks so much to Heather and the team for such a luxurious evening, and for educating us about Juicy Couture's new sartorial (and marketing) direction. Viva La Juicy, indeed!
What do you think of Juicy Couture as a brand? And have you smelt the Viva La Juicy perfume? I'm telling you, it's the dreamiest scent since sliced bread!

Ahh I love that pic of us! Even though I apparently have no jawline.. I miss the pink doggy too ): xx
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! I need to get myself into some of these events
ReplyDelete#nochance!

Hahaa, fab pics Gem- loving the pink bag :P! Gotta admit I never thought I'd say this, but JCs clothes look pretty darn nice in that display - I like the direction they seem to be going in! x

Sounds like you had an awesome time! I have to admit that I still think of velour tracksuits when someone says Juicy Couture to me and I've been very surprised to see some of the things on Jamie's blog 'From me to you' that are from Juicy Couture. Looking forward to see what they've got in store for the future! :) x
ReplyDeleteThe afternoon tea looks amazing! I do think of velour tracksuits when I think of Juicy Couture but it looks like they have some lovely stuff! I will have to try the fragrance when I'm next in boots! x
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wicked time! I've always associated Juicy with velour trackies and WAG wannabes so it's interesting to see that it's actually gone in a very different direction! The goodie bag sounds amazing too! x
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I'm insanely jealous of the Viva La Juicy - it's my perfume of choice too. I adore it.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked Juicy. A lot of my friends think it's tacky but a lot of their stuff is just... fun!

Looks so fun! Lovely picture of you all! :) x
ReplyDeleteCannot believe thats a juicy couture store window. Manager/ Exec dude did well to completely turn around the look of the brand but not sure if people will be convinced...
ReplyDeleteLove that final shot with all the bloggers

Just come across your blog and am in love, the pictures from the Juicy event look amazing. I used to think of Juicy Couture as tacky but i think it's doing a burberry-esque turnaround!
ReplyDeleteWhen Juicy Couture first came out i was addicted! Tracksuits and all (this was like 8 years ago)! I would get items shipped in from a store in Hawaii when the $ rate was so good and i went to a few of there sample sales at the Chelsea town hall. My first trip to Vegas in 07 saw me practically hyperventilating when i saw the shop (pre Bruton street store) and i went in everyday, the staff actually knew me in the end! When i tell people this they can never believe it! But i was never one to prance about in a bright pink velour trackie and look like chav (i think). I've recently started selling some of my stuff on ebay, i always vowed not too but its taking up too much room and i don't wear so much of it.
ReplyDeleteAs i've matured, my styled has changed, but i always think JC has matured its style! Its still as delish and i still get just as excited! Very jealous of you girls for getting to go, although your blog is great so deserve it :-) VIVA LA JUICY xo
Oh wow. Jealous.. moi!? :P
