Blogger Bazaar Berlin

photos taken with my Sony Nex-3N

Oh my god it was incredible. This was my second time with the Blogger Bazaar crew, and they nailed it once again ! Iam so glad that I was able to participate once again, not so much for myself, but for my shop Floralpunk ! I had already sold 80% of the clothes I don’t wear anymore at the Blogger Bazaar in Munich, so my clothes were subsidiary this time. I put all the focus on Floralpunk, and I dare say that everyone loved the accessories ! Regarding the sales and feedback, I really can’t complain at all. This time I had my boyfriend there as my sales assistant, and without him I probably wouldn’t have been able to go to the restrooms even once. The location at Nhow Hotel was bigger than the location at the Stylight HQ, so it was crowded, but I never got the feeling that it was overcrowded. Many girls came for Floralpunk, and I really appreciate it so much. I can’t thank the Blogger Bazaar team enough for these opportunities ! Thumbs up, love you girls ! 

About the Blogger Bazaar itself, the music was good, there were yummy Tequila drinks, free Häagen-Dazs ice cream and cupcaked sponsored by Amorelie. I also got to meet new bloggers like Tissi, Amandine (who I bought something from) and the sweet Maxilie from Kalinka Kalinka, even though I didn’t get to talk to them much, because I guess everyone was just really busy selling. I also finally met the gorgeous girls from Videdressing, who I cooperated with previously for the Celine Bag giveaway ! (A girl from Singapore won btw.) They were so sweet, and I can’t wait for other cooperations with them in the future : ) I also just made my first order from Videdressing, very excited for that as well.

All in all it was a super successful day for me, and I went home super exhausted, but extremely happy as well. Many people were interested in Floralpunk, and I hope that will lead to more. It was also a great chance to make people getting more aware of Toughlookdonthurt, because as a representative, of course, I showed myself only from the best side, always with a smile on my face : D ! 

Cheers,

Julia

Whoever you were girl, you were definitely the coolest one I saw all day !  Have fun with your fur bag !

The Glamloop stall had to be avoided by me, because I saw that Thu Thu jacket, that I really wanted a few months ago.

I don’t mind anyone using these photos, just credit me please.

One’s trash is another’s treasure. As I had announced on Instagram and Facebook, I took part in the first Blogger Bazaar in Munich last Saturday, October 19th, and it exceeded my expectations by far. The location, Stylight headquarter, was just perfect for the occasion. A big room with windows at the ceiling, which allowed a lot of natural light from the sunny day to come in and tables with clothing racks for each seller. I had a smaller spot in a corner, and was already concerned about how I was going to place all my items, since I had brought all items from my closet, that I didn’t wear anymore. It was a lot. Fortunately my neighbor, Mauricius (whoever you are, thank you!), didn’t come, so I got his table as well. With enough space for all my items, price tags provided by the Blogger Bazaar team and drinks from Red Bull and Jules Mumm, I couldn’t wait for the crowd to come in ! It was all about moneymaking and getting rid of the clothes that have been hanging around in my closet for years. Accessories and shoes I havn’t worn for a very long time, or never worn before. In the end I was able to sell 70% of the things I had brought at very very low prices. I still managed to make 700 something somehow even though I sold earrings and rings at 1€ and most of my clothes at 4-15€. You see, I had a lot of stuff to sell. Stuff of which I didn’t think that I’d be able to sell it. There is still some left, and I hope I can participate in the next blogger flea market again.

It’s a great opportunity for bloggers, to get to sell their clothes to a more fashion oriented crowd at blogger flea markets. Unlike a normal flea market, at a blogger flea market, the expected audience comes for the purpose of buying clothes. It is an a lot more categorized kind of flea market, than casual flea markets, where you can find anything from spoons to old CDs. So at a normal flea market you will find all kinds of people, from the ones looking for spoons to the ones looking for old CDs, as well. With a lot of clothes and accessories, you might not find the customers you want to attract.

I had a great time, and Iam so glad I didn’t go by myself. My cousin offered me to come with me and to help me. Without her I probably wouldn’t even have been able to go to the restrooms because it was so crowded ! From the opening to closing time. Some of my friends had to queue for two hours ! Which was just half as bad, because it was a sunny autumn day, and because they got drinks for free. The organizers of the event did a great job though, by keeping the people in a good mood, and making sure that it was never overcrowded inside.

Some PR people came up to me and exchanged business cards with me, and I really hope it will lead to more. Iam not a very well known blogger in Germany yet, but I wouldn’t mind getting there. I felt a little intimidated by the other bloggers at first, because I have been reading their blogs, but everyone was really nice. I met Fan-Ning from MUCstyle again, who I met at my last blogger event more than a year ago. She said that I look like I had lost weight, best compliment ever! Since I have lost weight. And I had Vicky from The Golden Bun right across my table, and Masha Segwick was right next to her. I couldn’t not look at them haha. It was all, very exciting, and very fun.
Thank you so much Blogger Bazaar team for this experience. After such an successful event, there must be a followup ! So everyone, go to the Facebook page of Blogger Bazaar, like it, and stay tuned for the next events !
