Pippa’s Fashion Factory – 2nd November

3 November

Hi Everyone!

And Hello November!!

It’s Monday evening and I’m currently lying on my couch with my feet up and fluffy socks on! I had another busy day today shooting my U Magazine column. I’m pretty exhausted and ready for some relaxation now.

Yesterday I launched my first Pippa’s Fashion Factory. I held it in the Powerscourt Hotel, which is my favourite hotel and such a beautiful location. It was a girly day full of fashion and beauty.

We had a fashion show featuring all of my favourite Autumn Winter looks from casual day wear to Christmas party wear.

I also talked through some of my own personal clothing items that are my winter must haves.

It included a make up demo with Tara O’Farrell. Tara is such talented make up artist, I was thrilled to have her part of my day. Everyone loved her invaluable tips.

I also had Carla Rose who demonstrated some simple and on trend hairstyles.

I showed and talked through my beauty picks…Basically everything from my bathroom!!

Of course we enjoyed some bubbly and the most delicious afternoon tea.

Guests left with an incredible goodie bag thanks to Blank Canvas, Rimmel, L’Oreal and Cadburys.

I was so happy with how the day went. I had been planning it for months now. I was a little emotional thinking my Mum should of been there.

It was obviously extremely difficult for me go ahead with it so soon after her passing, I doubted if I could do it at all at one stage. I’m just so grateful for all the support I have from friends and family willing me on. (They know who they are!)
