Every time I go to one of these events, I can never find the words to explain how important they are, or how amazing it was, without it sounding exaggerated or cliched.
This year, more than any other I think, I'm sat staring at the blank white screen, not knowing how I can put the weekend into words.
It was a weekend of new friendships and old. It was a mashup of brands and bloggers. And I kinda think the bloggers won!
I wasn't modelling this year, but adopted my usual role of Chief Cheerleader (and did a stirling job, obviously!), and bra-fitting-bully! In fact, one of my first acts of the day was to get Wor Daisy into the Curvy Kate tents to get boosted - and between Caroline and myself, she's off on a voyage of bra-discovery!
Daisy is awesome - FACT. She was my room mate, my tour guide, my sanity checker, and my companion. I don't think I could have got through the weekend without her by my side.
I mentioned that we got to forge new friendships:
With Georgina G
As well as strengthen old ones:
With the yummy Lolly.
And I clearly couldn't be kept away from the catwalk for too long, modelling for Yours Clothing in this bodycon maxi in tropical print

But there was a little time for brands, and this beaut from Bon Prix had me planning Christmas parties just so I would have somewhere to wear it!
This year wasn't about the modelling, or the brands, but about the people - the readers of blogs, the bloggers, those just starting their body confidence journey, and those well on their way.
Leah did an astounding job, and I know this isn't the last we'll hear of StyleXL, although perhaps not in the same guise!
Here is to the next great event, where ever, and whatever, and whenever that may be.
Much love my lovelies,

Loving your pictures. I'm gutted I didn't get a picture of us this time, I'll just make sure we will make up for it at the next event! X
