Simply Be: Gok Wan Shapewear Collection Bloggers' Event

In late October, Simply Be invited plus size fashion bloggers galore to head to London to meet the fabulous Gok Wan and familiarise themselves with his latest shapewear collection. Fortunately, I was on annual leave at the time, so I donned my BiuBiu Vienna Dress (having altered the belt to fit) and caught a train to the big smoke during the day to met up with Georgina from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust for lunch and a long overdue catch up before we made our way to the Covent Garden Hotel for the event.

You may have previously read about the wonderful time I had earlier this year when I attended the launch of Gok Wan's new shapewear range for Simply Be - and I even got to meet the man himself!

Since then, the range has been expanded to include some really beautiful items.

Bangers for Breakfast? Gok Wan for Simply Yours shapewear press launch

Several weeks ago, I had a wonderful surprise thanks to my lovely blogging friends Georgina and Cheryl: an invite to the press launch of Gok Wan's spring/summer 2012 shapewear for Simply Yours.  They had both been kind enough to pass my details on to the PR company organising the event (Chase PR) so one morning I got up VERY early and headed off on a train to London Victoria.

I met up with Georgina and fellow bloggers Becky and Laura at the station and the four of us travelled in style in a black cab to the W Hotel in Leicester Square.  We were met in the 'E Wow Suite' by the gorgeous Sheena from the PR company, who welcomed us and organised some much needed hot/cold drinks for us.  We then met up with many other bloggers and enjoyed our sumptuous surroundings, which included fibre-optic curtains and a revolving sofa!
