Ever since I started my blog I've had nothing but awesome experiences, to top of the list, let me share you my first Bloggers United experience.
Bloggers United is a much awaited annual event where bloggers and fans can meet and greet. It's also an opportunity for bloggers to share and sell their pre-loved clothes, accessories etc. For this year, the Bloggers United team decided to go for a "Back to School" theme just in time for the back to school season, what's great is that they got the perf hashtag #BackToCool. When I arrived at the venue (Whitespace Manila) I saw a lot of big names as sponsors, I already knew I'm up for an awesome experience. Check out the official poster below.
I was planning to go to the event alone since there's no one to accompany me lol, not an issue though, my main goal is to concentrate on the event so I can blog about it in an in-depth way. Last minute, my bestie messaged me and voila! I had the best companion at Bloggers United. True friends really show up when you need them the most :)
The tickets were sold at the venue so I had no hassle getting one, I just had to pay P100 to enjoy all the stuff the event has to offer. After they stamped my wrist they gave me a piece of paper w/c contains the booths I need to visit for me to be able to join the raffle. Here's a little secret lol, maybe because of adrenaline and excitement, I accidentally cut the needed portion for the raffle and dropped it on the raffle box, I thought it was for registration purposes, I just realized it after the event. I visited all the booths though, and I didn't win the raffle to be fair :)
All smiles at the Pepero Booth, just before the slight drama haha. For the record, I really had fun here, the staff was very accommodating and eager to take our pictures, I will not mention the drama any further because I love Pepero and the Bloggers United team had been very accommodating, just a little advice for the booth peeps, study the booth set up really well, events like these need booths that are crowd efficient, always be guest friendly, after all they are the reason why there are events like these. My fave vlogger Wil Dasovich always say "Drama is good for the vlog" I guess I understand what he means when he says this, because without drama there will be no learning. In my blog, my aim is to share whatever I've learned from my experiences, on a positive note as always :)
One of my top picks on the sponsor's booths is the Una Rosa booth, felt like I had a mini fashion shoot :)
Time to meet my fave bloggers! :) First stop, the kawaii corner w/c consists of my forever inspos Tricia Gosingtian her bffs Crissey Si, Farrah Espina and Sophia Ramos. As expected their booth was jam-packed, loads of pre-loved kawaii and korean inspired clothes, shoes and accessories are everywhere.
I literally went fangirl mode when I saw them and eventually shared a snap with them, but a little sad inside because Tricia's not around :( Next time I'll be the earliest. Thanks to my bestie for the snaps, all of my photos with the bloggers are taken by her. Truly, #bestiegoals :)
Sophie and Farrah's aka #SoRah booth :)
If there's one thing I really loved about this event is that it supports sustainable fashion. I've always been supportive of sustainability, in all aspects, may it be in fashion, environment and in many other things, I guess it's the old soul and nature lover in me plus the practical views I've learned from my parents especially my mom. You will see more of what I'm talking about in my next posts :)
While we are busy roaming around, there's a band playing w/c added some good vibes on the event :) Fashion + Music = Perf Combo
Clothes and pretty stuff everywhere and if you're lucky, you'll find a goofy blogger photobombing your snap, nice one Melissa Gatchalian
(Sartorial Panda) :)
Pre-loved clothes and accessories starting from P50, not bad right? some are even unused with price tags still attached.
It's actually kinda cool to think that some of the clothes they're selling appeared on their blogs so if you check out their booths there's a 100 percent chance you'll find really serious fashion staples hoho!
And just when I thought I will not see Laureen...
Tada! We found her :) Warning! fan girl photos ahead lol.
Isn't Janina Manipol the cutest? :)
Found one of the members of the
#VlogSquad Baninay Bautista :)
The super pretty fashionista blogger Mom Say Alonzo with her cute kiddo :)
And the ultimate #sistersbloggersgoals the Verns! (Vern and Verniece Enciso) with their very adorable escort :)
It's just so overwhelming to see your followed bloggers in one event, you can't help but be inspired :)
With the pretty and sexy Arisse de Santos :)
With Lissa Kahayon and the super tall Camille Co, both of them are so gorg :)
Okayy too much of the fangirling part
lol here's what I wore :)
The event was themed Back to School so this look immediately came to mind :)
I went for the cute, nerdy and minimalist look, this was so far from my actual school looks way back, I had to wear uniforms from kinder straight to college lol so I never really had the the chance to dress up everyday for school haha
I chose to wear my very comfy minimalist checkered top from Uniqlo, I really love the brand's choices in the fabrics they use, so comfy to wear considering the humid weather. I paired my top with my uber cute denim dress overalls I got from a Tiangge. To complete the look, I wore my white sneaks :)
And of course I had to make sure my beautiful and supportive bestie had her own OOTD moment, I love our accidental matching with the
checkered top :) follow her @anasang06
Selfie before we leave the venue :) That was awesome Whitespace!
Overall, it's been a very inspiring and awesome experience, it really fueled me to dream more and achieve more, seeing the bloggers come together to mingle with the people who follow and admire them and even share some of their valued stuff with them, for me that means a lot. These days, competition is very common, but just like the people I admire, I believe that collaboration will always be better than competition. It's always a good idea to build each other up, in that way we can all rise to the top. I dedicate this blog to my bestie, for always being there to support me. Thanks to all the supportive besties out there, and if you have one, never let them go :)
Some of the free stuff I got from the event. Canvas bag from Carousell, printed photos from Pepero, funky stickers from San Miguel Beer (though I don't drink) and a discount coupon from Skin Station :)
I love our instantly printed photo courtesy of Polaroid :) (all other items in the photo not included)
Thanks to all the bloggers and the sponsors of course! Til next Bloggers United, Class dismissed! :)
