296. Fashion apprentice

Now a fully fledged buying assistant I'm now also part of the social committee. This means I help plan any parties that may occur in the social calender. When it's Christmas, we need to party, when it's summer, we need to party, whenever there is an occasion we need to party. One of the many motto's as House of Fraser is "own the extra mile" and I'll tell ya now the team of seven that make up the social committee team have done exactly that.


The social committee team!

So myself and six others for the last month have been planning the long awaited staff party for womens wear and beauty. Located at 1 Leicester Square in the penthouse, we decorated the spacious white venue with bunting, glasses of sweets and disposable cameras. I got my friends band to play for the evening, ridiculously talented they strummed an array of jazz, soul and funk. We also organised food, which we previously did food tasting for and it was amazing!

 Oh yes, we had photography in the form of disposable cameras. And sweets for table treats.

All a bit nervous, bloggers love had an event down stairs and kindly did our hair for us before our colleagues started arriving. They spruced up the volume of our hair with their So...? fragrance's new range of dry shampoo which smells pretty great. All ready and raring to go. Our visitors trickled in with a glass of bubbly in hand.

Black is a dominant colour amongst buyers apparently.

A great photo of the jazz band.

Venue decorated with bunting!

The band were playing hit the road jack in the back ground whilst people were on the balcony with an astounding view of London. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, we even did a complimentary raffle which was pretty fun and got everyone buzzing. Delicious bangers and mash started to make an appearance, along with the other dishes we picked out such as pizza, asparagus risotto and chicken pasta. It went down pretty bloody well. After the band played their sets, the lights were dimmed and the DJ came on. Cheesy classics obviously blasted from the speakers such as Lady Marmalade and Shakira. With a female dominated party the odd man felt a bit out of place but it was quite funny. There was some serious booty shaking dance offs happening and I'm pretty sure everyone had a bit of sweat on their brow. There were a good few sore heads the next following day that's for sure.
