Hey guys!
Welcome to Zarasbeautyworld.
On Sunday I have attended an event that was called Je t'aime en Chocolat! I was excited to attend this event since I heard there would be alot of chocolate. There would also be paintings and a big fashion show with some of the clothing made out of chocolate! Yes you heard that right, clothing pieces and the painting made out of chocolate which was pretty shocking to hear.It was a must to attend this event. The lucky part was that this event was for FREE!!
(Chocolate stands from various stores, and customers searching for "the one")
There was a whole floor dedicated to stands from various chocolate boutiques. Let me tell you that these are quiet pricey as well. I was amazed at the prices, since I haven't spent that much on chocolate before (such as smarties, kit kat, ect). But it was understandable since these are high end , fancy chocolates we are talking about. I never knew macaroons were 2.50 a piece each? Nor did I know that one chocolate piece can cost 3.00? Walking past pricey chocolate like these I found some places where I can put my money in good use which was huge chocolate cookies made out of oatmeal caramelized chocolate cookies, that actually tasted good for your information! 2 for 5$ which I thought was a save for me since they were huge and some other chocolate packages on the side.
(The chocolates that I have purchased, which weren't crazily expensive! They were yummy nonetheless!)
There were people who were giving out tasters of different types of chocolates which I enjoyed (obviously), and people who were giving out their flyers of their store which gave you an idea of the price ranges from their store and what they were serving. I saw many creative creations which took time and was beautiful.
(Some of the awesome creations. There was also a big Heel which looked beautiful!)
My sisters and me roamed around and watched each stand. Honestly I thought they would give a gift basket with a few free chocolates for us (the visitors), but I guess there isn't much complaining involved if its a free event, as well as free testers around. After this we went to the fashion show, which was packed with people! I think I learned the TRUE meaning of first come first serve the hard way. So many people were crowded it was unbelievable that I felt so upset that me and my sisters wouldn't be able to watch. Luckily my sisters were walking around trying to legit move around people to get a good view ( unlike me just sulking on the side) and we were lucky to finally get a good view of the show.
(the crowd on the main floor... theres more people watching from the top as well..)
I finally got to see the fashion show I was half dying for among the crowd, and it looks like I wasn't the only one. This was my first fashion show and I've always wanted to attend fashion shows, so let me tell you guys that even though it may not be a high end fashion show like Chanel, I was just so glad to be there and experience this moment! They tried to show different cultures in their segments such as the first segment was Asia, then Africa, and finally Spanish inspired. I think it was enjoyable and liked how they made chocolate hats, masks, or petals for the dress. I couldn't take a close picture of their dresses, but tried my best from the distance I was at! Here are some of the photos from the Fashion Show!
There was alot of hard work put into this event at the ending of the day and I appreciated how chocolate can become created into art instead of just being created for food, such as the art gallery that showcased paintings made from chocolate!
These creative art pieces in the gallery were made from an artist by the name of Margaret Lipsey. She is a creative artist who made these master pieces. For more of her art you can visit her instagram and follow her at pistache_and_rose!
I walked away with a free cook book which shows how to create various dishes from italian cuisine to oriental and french.
This was my experience at the Je T'aime en Chocolat Event.
I really enjoyed this event and will be excited to attend other events or premieres. I am excited with making these type of blogs for you guys, and would enjoy doing more in the future.
