North East Blogger Meet Up UPDATE!

Just a quick final update about the North East Blogger Meet Up we're organising in Newcastle this weekend.

We'll be meeting on Saturday the 25th of June in Newcastle Central Station between 11.30am-12pm outside Burger King, which is in the station itself. If anyone gets in earlier or later, just let us know and we can sort something out. You can contact us via our Twitter.

Once everyone has arrived we'll be going for some drinks/food/chat. After we've all got to know each other ,we'll have a look round town and do a spot of shopping. If you have bags with you, don't worry as I've got some storage sorted whilst we're in town.

We'll then all pop back home/to hotels etc to get all tarted up for a night out on the toon! We've come up with a few ideas of places to go, to make sure there's something for everyone. If anyone has any suggestions or requests for places to go in either the day or the night, just let us know.

It's not too late to come along, just let us know before the day so nobody gets left behind! If you're under 18 you will only be able to attend the day time part of the meet up.

We can't wait to see all of you lovely ladies! I hope you've all been watching Geordie Shore in preparation!

REDRUM.

I returned from my weekend away working in Durham today; although Durham is a lovely city, I'm so glad to be home! I managed to find some time when I wasn't working to explore the winding streets, vintage shops and even a typical tourist trip to the amazing cathedral.

I was without a tripod or my official photographer (a.k.a. Bryden) this weekend so I had to resort to some good old fashioned Myspace mirror poses.

By the end of the weekend I seemed to be matching my outfits to the lovely 1970's decoration that was a running theme throughout the creepy flat I was staying in. I never thought turquoise sinks would count as fashion inpsiration!

Tops- Primark, Skirt- Warehouse, Belt- Found in my room after a night out!

I picked these little feather earrings for a mere £3, an absolute bargain.


Just a little reminder that the North East Blogger Meet Up is just over a month away. We're so excited about seeing our 'internet fwends' from the Sheffield meet up and making new ones! Just let me know if you'd like to come along; everyone is welcome, don't be shy!

North East Blogger Meet Up!

Hiya everyone,
I hope you've all had a lovely time over the past two weeks; with all the bank holidays, royal wedding celebrations and what not. I think we're definitely on a royal wedding come down, Bryden is obsessively googling Kate Middleton and I could seriously watch the whole thing over and over again!

Anyway... Just a quick post to confirm that the date of the North East Blogger Meet Up in Newcastle will be Saturday the 25th of June.

We'll be meeting at Central Station between 11.30am and midday. The day time will probably include food, getting to know everyone and maybe a spot of shopping. We'll be meeting up later on to go out for a few drinks and a dance. Any suggestions on where to go/things to go are welcome! It would be so nice to see everyone, we've having a day time meet up and a night time meet up so people can choose if they want to go to just one or hopefully both!

The meet up is open to absolutely everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a blogger/you tuber/subscriber/follower/friend, the more the merrier! I know from when Bryden and I went to Sheffield it can be a bit daunting going to meet random people, but I can promise you all the girls we already know that are coming are lovely and it's going to be a great day.

If you would like to come along if you could let either me or Carla know, just so we have an idea of the number of people coming. You can either pop a comment down below, tweet us or drop us an email (treblesandamixer@hotmail.co.uk).

If you're coming from out of town and need somewhere to stay, just let us know and we'll try to help you out in anyway we can. If anyone under 18 years is coming please let us know; this isn't a problem at all, we just need to know for organising where to go.

I'll keep a running list in this post of confimed attendees, so you can see who's coming along. It would be great if you lot could all blog/tweet/make a video/generally spread the word about the meet up, even if you can't make it.

Carla, Bryden and I are so excited to see you all and we've got a few suprises up or sleeves for the actual day, so get yourselves along!

EDIT:
Here's the list of possible meet up attendees. Just give me a shout if you need to be added or taken away, don't be shy! Haidee has also set up this form, if you're coming along can you please fill it out, it's so we can get a better idea of who's coming along.

Happy Easter!

I finally got a day off work today, so I decided to go home for Easter Monday. As usual when I go to my parents house, we end up going to somewhere along the coastal route. Today we ended up in Warkworth. It was so pretty there, bunting was hanging everywhere for Easter and all the flowers were in full bloom. Summer is well and truly on its way...

Look at me taking outfit photos on location like a real fashion blogger, shame I haven’t figured out how not to look awkward yet! My hair is also looking a bit wild thanks to the wind.

I’m very excited to announce we’re currently trying to organise a Blogger meet up in Newcastle with Carla, the provisional date is Saturday the 11th of June. We had such a lovely time meeting everyone when we went to Sheffield and would really like to see you all there. Are any of you up for this?
EDIT: The meet up date is now more likely to be the Saturday the 25th of June, so we don't clash with the Manchester meet up, confirmation coming soon!
