As some people may be aware, I had a pretty exciting week last week. I was invited to a private event at the Coach House on Regent Street where I got to meet the one and only Selena Gomez. I was invited to this event along with a plus one after I purchased the Selena Grace bag that Selena designed alongside Coach's creative director Stuart Vevers.
The Selena Grace bag was available in three colours, Black Cherry, White and Red. I decided to go for the Black Cherry design as it would be more wearable all year round. I was honestly so excited to finally be able to meet one of my idols and fashion icons. 2017 is the year Selena finally found her style and honestly, I love everything about it. You can definitely see her new style incorporated into the bags she designed with Coach which is why I was drawn to them. She has left behind her Disney Princess vibes and transformed into a fully fledged style icon.
On Monday morning we got a train to London Marylebone and then got the tube to Oxford Circus. It didn't take us long before we reached the Coach store - it wasn't hard to miss with all the Selena fans circling the area. We did have to wait in line for an hour or so (Selena did have a busy day that day see her five outfit changes) but we got talking to some lovely people so time passed quickly.
We were greeted with Coach personalised hand warmers and hot chocolates which were a nice touch for people who were a little cold whilst waiting in line. On entry to the store we were asked to place our phones in a small Coach envelope and they were given back to us. This was disappointing at first but then you can imagine the frenzy of everyone at the event trying to get pictures of Selena so I understand why they did it.
The store's shelves were filled with Selena's designs and her ad campaign was playing on a loop on their big screens. It was then our turn to go down to the ground floor of the store where Selena was stood in a studio style set up in front of a backdrop. I fangirled as soon as I saw her, I couldn't believe it was really her just stood there in front of me. She hugged us hello but to me it's a bit of a blur from then on. We got our photo taken with her by a professional photographer - the lighting was awful. Selena signed my bag and after a couple of minutes we said goodbye.
Once back upstairs we were greeted with gift bags which included a Coach X Selena Gomez coin purse, a cookie, Selena's new single, bottled water, Coach pins and promotional vouchers. Afterwards, still buzzing from meeting Selena, we went for dinner at Ping Pong and enjoyed some Dim sum and cocktails before heading over to Selfridges for some late night shopping.
I didn't get many good pictures as I was just enjoying the moment but overall I had such an amazing day, it was a nice break from university deadlines before Christmas.
