Brighton - with DJ John B

"Look After yourselves kids, Don't burn yourself in the light..."

- Kirsty Hawkshaw.

It is a very rare occasion when a friend of mine, (oh and International Superstar DJ, but who cares ey?) gets time off from work. So when he does get the chance, we have to go wild!

This particular time he'd booked into one little hotel right by the sea front over in Brighton and our plan for the night was to go to see Fabio at the club Concorde (Carbon 7th birthday) ... Little did I know the events that were yet to follow;

My first encounter was with John's make-up, FULL of Chanel... John -1 Me -O.

We headed off to two other bars before Concorde and we met the lovely Kirsty Hawkshaw.
She was previously in Opus III and is so beautiful,

The funniest moment of the night, just had to be from John B himself. Who accidentally set off the foam fire extinguisher!!!!!!! Covering himself and the floor of the bar!
Foam Party anyone?...

Overall the evening was just awesome, I loved meeting all of John's lovely friends and it really was a unique experience of a night out.

London College of Fashion.

So, exciting news!! I have received an Unconditional place at London College of Fashion starting September 2011. The process was extremely intense but I fought through and succeeded!!

Initially I had to send various documents and pieces of work they'd requested I write. Then a 30 minute maximum, marketing test online, joined by an interview in their Oxford Street campus.

The course is a Masters in Strategic Fashion Marketing, and runs until December 2012.

I am just over the moon to have been chosen for the course, I will update you after the Induction week near the end of September!

Walliams the Great - Thames Swim

As most of you probably know (and if not shame on you!) David Walliams has been swimming the river Thames and is aiming to swim the entire 140 miles for charity - Sports Relief.

The support he has received from; his lovely wife Lara, the support team, his trainer, the fans that have gathered at the river banks to cheer him on and his friends - Including Miranda Hart, Rob Brydon, and Michael Parkinson - has been overwhelming.

Fans can track his progress on the LittleBritainFans.com website via the LIVE GPS system, shown below.

The gorgeous married couple - David Walliams & Lara Stone.


When Walliams was swimming through East Molesey & Hampton Court, the family and I went down to the river bank to also show our support. The young children of the family made signs to hold up and it really was a great couple of hours in the sun.

The excitement spread along the riverbank like a lit fuse and people were screaming and shouting to really encourage David. Just a few moments before the support team had tweeted that he was in extreme pain.

Lara Stone (blonde hair) in the back of the support boat, supporting her husband. SO cute!
Although when I held my sign up saying "I LOVE DAVID". She shouted back "NO I LOVE DAVID" and laughed. So it was all for the fun of the day. #Allforcharity.

Confessions of a Shopaholic...

You haven't got anything on me. I am a real life shopaholic.
I never really understood that phrase.
Well until I met with luxury brands,
so here's one I bought earlier...

Fashion Night Out, London.

Last night my best friend Mark and I attended Vogue's Fashion Night Out. The excitement fizzed through Oxford Street, Conduit Street and New & Old Bond Street.

Our first destination was to Alexander McQueen to join the hundreds already queuing for the KEY. The key unlocked an internet code and gave the chance to win a Tote... Yeah you guessed it neither Mark nor I won. (Sad faces!)

The champagne (complimentary) enticed us into Dolce and Gabbana, where we browsed the rows of sparkling dresses covered in the symbolic star print of the season.

DKNY had imported a NYC yellow cab outside their store, while Dior had a Black London cab prepared for attendees photographs inside.

Walking the streets I just had to take a snap with Henry Holland (My all time favourite EVER!) and accidently missed Pixie Geldof! Sorry Pix!

However THE best bit of the entire night was finally meeting Ben Westwood (Yes, the son of Vivienne Westwood!) We wandered around the Vivienne Westwood shop, to Peaches Geldof djing, and sipping Cranberry Vodka Mixes. Met up with Joe Corre, the founder of Agent Provocateur, in Y-3 Yohji Yamamoto. Mark's favourite meet of the night was CHER LLOYD, yes that's right she was there in Viv W. and I can say this now she was geniunely lovely!!!

Across the road, Ben encouraged me to go into Belstaff and they had a photobooth set up, so we headed straight for it. The laughter we had from "silly" photos was never ending!

Overall the night was brilliant, leaving me with one thing to say, "I wish every night was FNO!"
If you've not had the chance to experience it yet, don't hesitate next year!!!!

The Wedding of the year... and I am not talking about Kate Moss...

So my lovely cousin got married a couple of weeks ago and it was just simply gorgeous! I was the chief bridesmaid and so got the pleasure of staying in the hotel the night before the wedding. At 12am we had handmade truffles and pink champagne delivered from the husband to be, which was very sweet.

The morning of the wedding was full of champagne, make up and hair stylists. The theme of the wedding was Navy and Silver and our dresses were knee length, with a silk rose on our left shoulder. The bride wore a white floor length silk dress with bodice embellishments.

Although it was a summer wedding, the typically AW colours of the Navy worked particularly well.

The Honeymoon Suite.


Breakfast on the morning, SO much food!

The cute shoes the bride wore.
