TEAandFLEA was GREAT. After all the hard work put in I'm so glad the event turned out successfully! 100 people attending, 2 amazing talks, tons and tons of photos & cloudstaprints and lots of really happy bloggers = Fashfix's take on Singapore IFBcon (:

And as much as I'd like to take kudos for the whole event obviously thats not quite true. Firstly a huge thanks to Renee, Lenne, Pei, Rachel, Mas and Dorothy who gave up their Saturday afternoon to share their thoughts with everyone. Major props also to Chloe who was an amazing moderator. To my friends (Xin Kai, Bliss, Puay, Gwen, Sin Ning) and the boyfriend who support me in every single event. And of course the amazing sponsors Avalon, Strip, Browhaus, Manicurious, Elle, Cloudstaprint, Dottinghill and Lemongrass for making the event that much sweeter. Huge thanks to Marcel of Artistry for loaning us the amazing place and last but not least, to everybody who came down for the event - I hope you loved it as much as I did!

I've been collecting people's thoughts on the event - if I've missed you out please do leave a comment and I'll happily include your link in the list (:






WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

Through Fashfix, I’ve got to meet a lot of people that I otherwise would have no cause to approach and I really wanted everyone to have that opportunity to meet their favourite online personalities offline. A group of enthusiastic bloggers who jumped at the chance to meet their readers later, and there you have it - TEAandFLEA.

If for no other reason than everything that has been posted before, you should come for #TEAandFLEA because you'll get to meet Renee, the lovely writer behind Beautyfool (if you've never read her blog hop on over now cause she has this great tutorial on how to DIY your own natural hairspray!)

I met up with Renee last weekend and her story is just so inspiring - from how she started her blog, to briefly working at a magazine before one day making a commitment to blog full time instead. And here you have it, in one year she's gone from Vogue Italia to being featured in Urban to having her very own special blend of beauty products! Seriously - thats pretty (pun! pun! pun!) impressive!

I tried out the hand cream from her line and I loved how the scent loyally stuck to my skin*. Now, if it smelt bad, that would be quite annoying, but fortunately for me, Renee's Blend has a lovely sweet note to it so I went home a happily fragrant girl (:

Renee and Lemongrass House are kindly giving all you #TEAandFLEA attendees 20% off discount vouchers for her yummy-licious line which includes shower gels and salt scrubs. PLUS, Renee promised to bring some samples with her so when you come for the event you can try them out and smell for yourself how delightful it is!

And honestly, if all that is not enough - if you meet Renee, you're practically just 2 degrees of separation from Franca Sozzani which means like 3 degrees from Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfeld! Now don't tell me thats not a little bit cool (and fashion geeky) ^^


#TEAandFLEA: this Saturday, Artistry (3min walk from Bugis MRT), 2-6pm

 *Scent sticking to skin has this sweat connotation - banish such innuendos!



You must be tired of hearing this by now but please do drop by for #TEAandFLEA this Saturday! I promise its going to be amazing - I've been talking to all the bloggers and they're bringing down some amazing stuff so there's going to be some AWESOME bargains to be had!

2. 50% OFF AT STRIP & $10 OFF AT BROWHAUS
These 2 companies are personal favourites of mine. How they managed to expand outside of Singapore and into New York and the hallowed halls of Vogue etc I'll never know - wait I do, its cause their services are amazing - Duh 

3. TEMPORARY SKIN TATTOOS BY DOTTINGHILL
This is a really cool Singapore start up which crowdsources temporary tattoos to be manufactured - the result? You be the judge (: Check them out here

4. $60 WORTH MANICURIOUS VOUCHERS
Located 5 minutes away from City Hall, this tucked away manicure parlour is the perfect place to get your nails done, have some coffee and take a peek at some indie retail products - everything a girl needs for an afternoon out

5. COMPLIMENTARY ELLE
Elle is honestly one of my favourite Singapore magazines - I love their clean layouts and styling so I'm really glad they decided to sponsor free copies of their January magazine for this event ^^ Save me the $$ that I usually spend buying magazines

There's something quite special about blogs. Its the personal touch of creativity that bloggers bring to the content - whether its by excellent curation of images,  amazing fashion photography or just a personal spin on what would otherwise be a newspaper article. Bloggers are the columnists and op-eds of the webspace - imho!

Which is why I'm really excited that to present to you this event #TEAandFLEA!
