Fashion's Night Out!

 Hi everyone!

I've finally sorted out the camera issues I've been having, so I can actually put photos onto my computer now, and all in time for FNO!

I love Fashion's Night Out; I think it's such a brilliant idea, and having gone every year since it started, I think that each time the atmosphere just gets better and better. Highlights this year included...

• Seeing BB from Dirty Sexy Things for the second year in a row, that man looks like a statue, I'm not even sure he's real. 
• The pink grapefruit cocktails at Vivienne Westwood.
• Talking to the sales assistant at DKNY. The people they employ are always the friendliest people in the entire world. 
• The swing dance show outside Hermes. 
• Bumping into an actor my auntie knew serving champagne at Dior (she's a casting director).
• Getting 20% off the most incredible new coat on the planet at Cos.
• Having Alexandra Shulman walk right by me!!!

Here are a few photos I took in between all of the champagne drinking and shopping...

A gorgeous woman (who I didn't get the name of!) who looked so fabulous in the Vivienne Westwood suit and top she was trying on

The Hermes swing dance show, which turned into a street party

Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah, of Staple For The Cool Kids, wearing his own designs. He was absolutely lovely, go check out their website!

Love, love, love.

I recently bought my copy of the fourth issue of Love with the Rosie Huntington-Whiteley cover.

And I have to say it. Love is my favourite fashion magazine. 

I know, I know, I'm supposed to say Vogue. It's the bible, right? 

But I think Vogue can seem really cold at times. It's magnificent and superior and to the every day boy or girl, totally inaccessible. I love reading it, of course I do, but it's never very personal.

Love on the other hand, despite also coming from Condé Nast, is a totally different ball game. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's young, fun, exciting and perfectly heartfelt. I think their editorials are imaginative and their articles witty and intelligent. And this issue has been just as delightful as the others. In short, I love Love.

And while we're on the topic of love, I'm off to Paris tomorrow.
A spontaneous idea as, due to ending me up hospital at the weekend with a fractured eye socket, I can't fly. So Corfu is off the cards. God, I need to stop with the game metaphors.
Anyway, I'm sure there will be excessive shopping and I will tell all when I return on Tuesday.

Much love. X
