The One Where I Met Gok Wan

By Nikki Sumner @gamergirl0621
So a few weeks ago an email popped up in my inbox which I read once and then read again and again and again, it was from Simply Be inviting me for an evening of cocktails with Gok Wan for the launch of his shapewear range. My first thought was they must have sent this to me by mistake and then my second thought was shall I go?!!
As luck would have it I spotted the amazing Leah from Just Me Leah mentioned she had also been invited but wanted to buddy up with someone so a plan was formed! I found a cheap Travelodge in Kings Cross (we ended up with the smallest room known to man!!) and away we went!

My outfit for the night ASOS Lace Swing Dress Henry Holland Jacket


We managed to navigate the tube without any incidents but then we realised we had no idea where in Covent Garden we were supposed to be!!! A quick phone call to my hubby to check my emails Google maps on my phone and eventually we got there!!!

It took me ages to pluck up the courage to ask Gok for a photo and I have to say he is lovely in real life he happily posed for photos with everyone and chatted away. The highlight of the night had to be when during a group photo Leah made a comment which made me have a fit of the giggles and Gok wanted to know who had the dirty laugh and the whole room pointed to me and shouted Nikki!!
As well as meeting Gok I also got to meet a bevy of beautiful bloggers:

Its fair to say we all had a fab evening it was lovely to meet everyone and I did have a few fangirl moments, especially when I saw Bethany from Arched Eyebrow and Georgina from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust. It was lovely to meet everyone and also to see those who I met at Plus North again, needless to say I woke up this morning with a sore throat from all the laughing!!!
Thank you to Simply Be, Gok Wan and all the amazing bloggers for a fantastic night.
