THE LFW APARTMENT DIARIES


This season I had the fantastic opportunity of joining The LFW Apartment and taking part in a Fashion Week experience like no other. I was able to meet and mingle with some of the best brands and most amazing bloggers and interact about fashion at a secret location only invitees could attend.

The Apartment is the brainchild of top UK blogger Abisola Omole aka Abimarvel. It is a place where bloggers can meet, socialise and get their work done between shows while at the same time enjoying some food and refreshments provided by the Apartment. While there we were also able to loan products from some of the UK's brands to wear to the LFW shows and engage in some workshops and activities to allow us to showcase our personal style and aesthetic.


Windows UK had a lovely set-up at the Apartment and we got to test out their amazing new tech and borrow to use while on the go. Thanks to Ian & Tanya for the talk through,  it definitely made it easier and quicker for me to grasp the tech which is very sophisticated and user friendly.


I particularly loved hanging in the cosy 'Next boudoir' where there was a gorgeous set-up including their stylish furniture, clothing, shoes and accessories while Russell & Bromley had a wonderful display of their own showcasing the most stunning and comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn.



Other clothing brands at the Apartment were The Outnet, Superdry, Debenhams, Forever 21, Free people, Dune & Nelly.com

Reward Style held a lovely brunch on the 4th day of LFW where we enjoyed some lovely drinks and tasty bites whilst networking talking to the team.

Claire's Accessories really took me by surprise with their beautiful selection of jewellery which was all very stunning and current; just what a blogger needs!!!

The cupboards were filled with all sorts of yummy goodies at our disposal anytime whilst we got are blogging on.....

Blogger shoe coincidence??? Naah! You know you're wearing the right piece when three of you show-up in the same thing.

The Photobooth - Bloggers know a thing or two about mixing business with pleasure. Pure fun times!!!

Above: Baume & Mercier allowed us to borrow their gorgeous watches to compliment and complete our LFW looks.....and provided some cute and yummy tasting meringues and bubbly whilst we got fitted.


The Rimmel London Make-up room must have been every bloggers stop-over. 

With every outfit goes a perfectly done make-up look to compliment it so thanks to Rimmel we managed to get our make-overs and touch-ups swiftly and promptly before heading out to the shows.

A massive thank you goes out to Abimarvel & The Apartment Team - Windows UK, Claires, NEXT, Rimmel London, Debenhams, Atelier-to-Go, Reward Style, Vitamin Water and Russell & Bromley and last but not least Lavazza for providing the best coffee that kept me on my feet on the last days of Fashion Week.

A big shout-out to the Film crew who were also there shooting a miniseries for 'The Apartment' and made me feel comfortable around cameras (...for a change I wasn't so "self-conscious" Lols) Thanks to:  Monica, Vicki, Tom and Emily.

Watch the miniseries here and keep an eye-out for my little wave from the background:

Lead analytics and scoringEven if you do get a conversion, it turns out that only 25% of conversions are sales-ready You need the ability to find these hot leads and pass them to your sales team as soon as possible, before they get cold or a competitor contacts them firstYou can do this with lead scoring, which requires two kinds of information: (1) demographic/behavioral and (2) lead source Examples of demographic/behavioral information include title, company, and BANT criteria (budget, authority, need, and timing); examples of lead source information include where the lead came from, what kind of offer created the lead, and lead ageDemographic and behavioral information represent the biggest challenge for online marketers [url=http://cheapnflnikejerseys.blinkweb.com/]cheap nfl nike jerseys[/url] In reply to the registration application, they send out a letter explaining that each distributor can buy at half price, so many copies of each issue of the ad sheet, rubber stamp their name on each copy, and send them out as their own In return, the distributors usually get 50% of the incoming advertising orders, a half-price ad for themselves, and an opportunity to sell subscriptionsThe bottom line relative to becoming a successful ad sheet publisher has to do with keeping your production costs - printing and mailing - as low as possible, while putting out a quality product that other people in the mail order business will want to advertise in - while at the same time using it as a advertising/selling vehicle for your own products These information generators first identify buyers and sellers from across the globe The next step involves getting detailed information on the properties their location, utilities and amenities included and facilities near by and the condition via photographs and 3D images Then, the managers of the real estate investing clubs have to categorize the information and list the information generated on each property according to priority, with profit being the ultimate goal of each listing The online clubs comprise of many such listings and user-friendly forums that enable the members to chat and keep in touch The real estate investing clubs provide extremely useful information to people around the world who aspire to generate a profit from this industry [url=http://customnfljerseys1.webs.com/]custom nfl jerseys[/url].
Remember that 'special' gift under the Christmas tree The one that you just know is THEE gift, meant especially for you, the one you just KNOW you're going to love, with that 'extra personal touch' added to it to make it stand out THAT is the sensation you want to create for your audience The "I-just-can't-WAIT-to-see-what's-inside!" feelingA good package design doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money, or be wasteful in its excess The key to great package design is to make sure it gives a hint about the wonders that await inside [url=http://cheapnflnikejerseyss.weebly.com/]cheap nfl nike jerseys[/url] Start by asking or telling your prospect that you will follow-up on a specific day or time Tell them how you will follow-up (telephone, email, face-to-face) and record this in your day planner or time management system I use Outlook and now include a reminder so I dont forget to follow-upFollow-up should also be completed after the sale is completed A quick telephone call after your product or service has been delivered confirms their decision to buy from you [url=http://customnfljerseys1.weebly.com/]custom nfl jerseys[/url].

Teen guys apparently feel that sporty-looking accessories, such as so-called surfer-dude bracelets and arm bands made from bone fragments, solid wood, as well as shell beads using a rubber or leather wire are cool. http://www.pugsby.com jqdszpgs
