It's Ladies night

Big Red Beauty Bus

Last week I had an amazing time at the St Davids Ladies night, a night full of fashion, music, food, late night shopping and grabbing some great bargains. Since the St Davids 2 has opened in Cardiff in 2009 it's brought more than 120 new stores to the city including John Lewis, Radley, Jojo Mama Bebe, Vivienne Westwood and Mango to name a few. I am not usually a high street kind of girl but John Lewis does stock some amazing clothes for the whole family and they have some great places to eat and with the centre also housing more than 300 flats above the shops it's created a real buzz in the city centre.

On arrive at St Davids on Ladies night you check in and get given an Access pass which gives you discounts at nearly all of the shops and restaurants as well as there being pamper stations, mini makeovers and manicures, free Candy floss, DJ's, entertainment and various in-store events.

I went to the John Lewis Holiday Glamour beauty event which had some great beauty demonstrations and some really useful tips, as well as some very yummy tiki cocktails provided by Kapu and also an amazing little goodie bag full of samples to try out.

After the glamour event I attended the blogger nibbles and drinks in Wagamama, as always it's great to see some friendly faces and meet some new local bloggers. I had a chance to catch up with Gem from Fat Frocks, Louise from Lou Lou Muses and I also finally got to meet Mia in person from By Mimi as well as some other lovely bloggers as we shared some very nice food and bubbly.

 I was really hoping to pick up a military summer jacket on the night but unfortunately, they didn't have my size so I came away with no purchases but I did get a lovely red nail polish - Gold by Giles which I will review on the blog. Can't wait till next time
