Vlog #7 – Afternoon Tea with Marks & Spencer in London

I actually wanted to share all my Rome vlogs with you this week, but I didn’t have enough time to edit all the videos and create the vlogs. But Rome wasn’t the only city I visited last week; I was in London for a day as well and today I want to tell you everything about this day. I already mentioned a couple if things in yesterday’s “24 hours a day, 7 days a week”-post such as that I had a meeting and that I was invited to a Marks & Spencer event.

After a 1,5 hours flight and a one hour train ride, I arrived at Piccadilly Circus around 9 am. I had the first meeting at 12 pm, so I had a couple of hours left to find a cute café to work at a little bit. Well, I couldn’t find a nice café, but there was a Costa Coffee Shop, and since they have good coffee and excellent wifi, I decided to sit down and work at this place. I spent there two hours before heading to the café where I was meeting the girls from the PR I had the meeting with. We chatted a while and talked about new collaborations I’ll soon share with you 🙂 I won’t tell you much more about these partnerships today because I want to focus on the M&S event, which started around 3 pm: afternoon tea with Marks & Spencer in London.

 
The event took place at the Dalloway Terrace, such a lovely place located in Bloomsbury in London. It is such a beautiful place; we had one of the outdoor areas all to ourselves. I love the way they decorated the table with all the flowers and our personalised blankets! Yes, you read right, we got personalised blankets embroidered with our blog’s logo. How cute is this idea? 🙂

As you can see, Marks & Spencer and the girls from Shoppinglinks didn’t only give us personalised blankets, but also organised a videographer to capture every moment of the event, and they created a short video for all of us. It’s great to have this short video, because I was so busy talking to everyone, eating the delicious sweets and drinking tea, I absolutely forgot to take pictures during the event. Thanks to the video you can get an idea of what the location looked like and what the event was like. 🙂 Enjoy the video. xx
