Appletiser StyleFIX set to sparkle at Victoria Square’s Ivory Restaurant!

Wednesday, November 13, 2013

I'm lucky enough to attend lots of shows throughout the year and one show I always love is the Appletizer StyleFix! This will be my fourth year attending and I was extremely excited to hear that this year it would not only be featuring fashion from one of my favourite shopping destinations, Victoria Square, but it was also being held in one of my favourite restaurants, The Ivory!

Some of my regular readers may remember that my first ever blog post was on last year's Appletiser StyleFIX show in Victoria Square, (you can read about it HERE) and it's hard to believe how much has happened on the blog since then!

The Appletiser StyleFIX roadshow has been touring all over Ireland and N. Ireland and will be coming to a halt for this year at Victoria Square’s Ivory restaurant on Thursday 14 November – just in time for Christmas!

With a fabulous runway show and beauty stations offering stylistas a one-stop fashion-fix, the event will also double up as a festive night out for busy mummies and working girls looking for some pre-Christmas fashion inspiration. Audience members at the event will enjoy high-impact fashion shows with a whole host of hot-to-trot seasonal trends on the catwalk. With a super selection of stylish high street stores in Victoria Square, the StyleFIX event will have something to set every fashion aficionado’s heart racing. From winter whites, gem-like jewel tones and classic prints, to eye-catching outerwear, luxe leather, and extravagant embellishment; no style fix will be left unsolved. Personal stylist Rebecca McKinney will ensure everything is accessorised to perfection too, plus, she’ll be on hand to offer advice and answer any style dilemmas in person.

Show organiser Cathy Martin says fashionistas will have a lot to be tempted by: “We are nearing Christmas and we’re ready to get out there to don the hottest party looks. Autumn/Winter style for 2013 is awash with winter whites, rich reds and colour bursts such as classic emerald greens - just perfect for any Appletiser lady. And all our stylish Appletiser ladies are sure to enjoy this free evening at The Ivory, with welcome drinks and great dinner offers beforeand after the show.”

Stylist Rebecca McKinney continued: “The catwalk show will provide the ideal opportunity for audience members to relax and embrace the style up close. The beauty consultants on hand from our make-up partners will also be offeringcomplimentary make-up demonstrations, making suggestions on how you can re-fresh your make-up bag to match your beautifully stylish new Autumn/Winter wardrobe.”

Appletiser’s handbag sized 350ml bottle is great for every girl’s lifestyle and is handy to carry when on the go. Tara O’Rourke, Head of Marketing for Appletiser in Ireland comments: “Appletiser is a unique, gently sparkling drink, made from 100% apple juice with no added sugars or preservatives. The new, light plastic bottle is ideal for busy ladies who are rushing from one place to another, as it slots into a handbag perfectly, making it even easier to enjoy that magical fruit burst of Appletiser while still getting in one of their five a day.” Gently sparkling, natural apple juice Appletiser will team up with The Ivory’s mixologists to offer a complimentary cocktail or delicious apple juice on arrival at the StyleFIX event, and the Ivory team is also putting together a special pre-show menu for anyone wishing to book tables before or after the shows. (Please contact The Ivory at 028 90324577 to reserve a table).

For my first year in 2010 at the Appletiser StyleFIX I wore a fabulous LBD bodycon bandage dress from Karen Millen (sadly no pics!) but the subsequent two years when i've attended I opted for some very colourful looks! In 2011 I worked the colour blocking trend that was so key for that season in contrasting hues of hot pink and pillar box red in a fantastic ensemble, once again from my favourite label, Karen Millen! While last year I took inspiration from Appletiser's fresh and vibrant green hue and wore a graphic print play suit and Chanel inspired jacket! (Along with some super high metallic snakeskin sandals!)

Question is what will I be wearing this year??? All will be revealed on Thursday night..............

Appletiser StyleFIX sparkled at Foyleside Shopping Centre!

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

For the fourth year running, Appletiser StyleFIX hit the road and brought the second show of this year’s tour to Foyleside Shopping Centre, Derry/Londonderry on Saturday 01 June. For any fashion fan the Appletiser StyleFIX is not to be missed bringing the latest trends to fashionista's across N. Ireland and Ireland providing local stylistas a one-stop, fashion-fix as they shop!

Audience members at the event in Foyleside enjoyed high-impact fashion shows throughout their shopping Saturday with models showcasing a whole host of hot-to-trot seasonal trends on the catwalk. With a super selection of stylish high street stores, Appletiser StyleFIX had something to set every style aficionado’s heart racing. From monochrome and cool summer whites to flamboyant florals, pretty pastels and enviable ethnic prints; no style fix was left unsolved. Those who attended also had the opportunity to sample delicious complimentary Appletiser while receiving free advice and pampering mini makeovers from make-up brand partner Smashbox.

First to catch my eye was this uber girly and cute floral pastel pink dress by Dorothy Perkins, while Gerogia's tropical floral dress wowed in this season's neon brights!

Neon continued to be a dominant trend with colourful separates and bright floral abstract scarves illustrating how easy it is to embrace the trend into your existing wardrobe!

Relaxed tailoring in summer hues, showed attendee,s how to create the perfect smart casual look with pattern trousers and slim tailored jackets taking centre stage!

But of course no Appletiser "green carpet" would be complete without a show stopping dress and this came in the form of a stunning flowing maxi dress, with beautiful crossover detailing over the bust line from Monsoon!

Appletiser’s handbag sized 350ml bottle is great for every girl’s lifestyle and is handy to drop in your bag when on the go. Tara O’Rourke, Head of Marketing for Appletiser in Ireland comments: “Appletiser is a unique gently sparkling drink, made from 100% apple juice and has no added sugars or preservatives. The new, light plastic bottle is ideal for busy ladies who are rushing from one place to another or who are lucky enough to lunch at the local park, as it slots into a handbag perfectly, making it even easier to enjoy that magical fruit burst of Appletiser while still getting in one of their five a day.”

Stylist and show organiser Cathy Martin said fashionistas had a lot to be tempted by while shopping. “Summer has finally arrived and we’re ready to get out there and don the season’s latest trends. Summer is going to be awash with a flurry of florals, soft pastels, chic nudes and colour bursts such as classic emerald greens - just perfect for any Appletiser lady.”

She continued: “The catwalk shows provided the ideal opportunity for audience members to relax and embrace the fashions on display. The beauty consultants on hand from our make-up partner Smashbox cosmetics were also on hand offering complimentary make-up demonstrations, making suggestions on how to re-fresh your make-up bag to match your beautifully stylish new spring/summer wardrobe.”

Appletiser continues its tour and will bring Stylefix to Whitewater Shopping Centre, Newbridge (Saturday 08 June); Mahon Point Shopping Centre, Cork in August; St Stephens Green Shopping Centre, Dublin (Saturday 07 September) as well as Belfast in September.
