August Tweetup

A big thanks to everyone who joined in at our August Informal Drinks tweetup. Considering that there were several amongst us who’ve only just started tweeting and most of us didn’t know each other, the fact that 10 of us managed to organise a tweetup and find each other in a busy bar is quite an achievement!

London Fashion Tweet August event

In this shot are Jen from Ruby Browning, Ehsan of Wise Marketing, Misae of Minxy’s Jewellery, Xosefa of DirectCost4, Anneke of Royal London and freelance photographer Julia.

Over a couple of glasses of wine we got to know a bit about each other and share some ideas on where we want to go to. It’ll be really nice watching everyone move towards their goals as the group progresses.

We’ll put out a date for out September tweetup shortly and look forward to resuming the conversation then!

August Informal Drinks

It wouldn’t be a proper Summer if we don’t take the chance for a few after work drinks! As it’s our first meetup, this will just be an informal tweetup so we can get to know one another. Just bring yourself, a whole bunch of smiles and tweet about it!

The hashtag: #lftdrinks

If we all tweet using that hashtag, we can find each other online and start connecting. Personally, I’m already looking for fashion bloggers to connect with, new suppliers for certain fashion accessories and collaborators so it’ll be great to see you there!

Please RSVP via meetup
