Moda UK 2014

 This week saw Spring Summer 15 Collections from around the world showcase at the NEC Birmingham for the Moda UK Exhibition. I have to say I loved every moment of Moda, the NEC is a huge venue, and  cleverly divided into easy to navigate sections!

 The only negative I could say about Moda is I get a huge urge to revamp my wardrobe and go on a huge shopping spree the minute I wander round! 

 

 The highlights of my time were the stands! I felt they were laid out better than PURE London, and the exhibitors were so friendly and helpful! The staff at Moda were very attentive, giving out guides, advice and just in general being very friendly! However, I will give PURE the fact that the seminars and catwalks were slightly more interesting and had a bigger variety!

 I can't go in to too much detail about my buying experience at Moda but I can say we made some valuable contacts and will be ordering some amazing products!  

 I have been ordering samples, organising meetings & designing since I have been back in the office and the ideas for the new collection are so fantastic I could burst!

You can follow my blog and get sneak peeks into these new products as the weeks go on! 



Hilton Birmingham Metropole Reception

 During my time at the exhibition I had the pleasure of staying at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole! I was quite dubious when I first pulled up outside of the hotel its exterior is very tired. I was soon proven wrong as the interior and the helpful staff changed my mind immediately!

 The entrance hall is lovely and spacious with lots of staff which was great for a quick check in.  My room was lovely, just a standard room but I was impressed with it as I have stayed in some Hiltons and they have been really dated! My room was exactly like the one on the website.  The room was modern, spacious, comfy & had all the amenities I needed for a lovely stay!

  I ate at the hotel one evening and again as far as hotel food goes I was pretty pleased, after eating at the NEC I was in need of something nice & the chicken thai green curry was lush! 

  The room rate was cheap due to the event being on so I would highly recommend anyone who was wanting to visit the NEC or the LG arena to stay here especially if there was a deal on!
