What's so funny?

2012-02-09T18:37:00.004Z

'LOLz'... I recently shot a fashion film for menswear designer James Small & Vauxhall with Fazer (of N-Dubz fame), directed by the amazingly talented, Jak FrSH. It will be shown at James' catwalk show during London Fashion Week later this month but in the meantime, there's always YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/Vauxhall

A week's worth of Oxygen...

2012-01-23T16:18:00.008Z

Oxygen Boutique challenged me to style myself up head-to-toe for the next 7 days in their lovely clothing. Not so much a 'challenge' as a "yes please thanks" scenario. Che-che-check out my choices every day this week here: http://www.oxygenboutique.com/ xxxxxx

Fashion's Funnest Night Out. Ever.

2012-01-19T16:20:00.009Z

Natalie Massenet is such an inspiration <3. Just found this picture from the MR PORTER Fashion's Night Out party at Soho House in NYC. So much fun DJing, I blew a speaker. Whoopsies. (PS. I am aware that 'funnest' is not recognised by the English Dictionary, however I choose you use it here. Thanks.)

The Clothes Show Live 2011

2011-12-08T00:10:00.008Z

Have returned from the best week ever at The Clothes Show Live in Birmingham where I was hosting the Style Studio Stage. It was total mayhem but obvs found some time to create a little trouble with the incredible Grace Woodward (who hosted the main Fashion Theatre) and my friend/fellow presenter Laura Jackson. Oh how we laughed. [Forget the half naked male models - I can't stop talking about Kimberly Wyatt, who performed every day! Just WOW.] Read more about it here: http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/2011/12/interview_zara.html

Winning in Grazia/Losing in Life...

2011-12-07T23:58:00.004Z

Thank you Grazia for bestowing me with The Winning Look of the week title this week!! Doubly excited because I never win anything, and because I'm pretty sure the last time I wore this kimono someone on the street told me I look 'mental.'

My party trick is...being the first one to leave. Oh, the irony!

2011-12-07T23:51:00.003Z

When ES Magazine challenged me to hit London's party circuit for a week solid (and write all about it) I, either (a) naively (b) idiotically (c) flippantly (or rather, (d) all of the above) thought it would be a proverbial walk in the park. My suspicions should have been raised when even the most hardened of my 'party friends' seemed dubious, albeit mildly amused, by the bravado I had on display. "The Week That Tried To Kill Me" is what the article really should have been called. Still in recovery.

Hugs with my new favourite person...

2011-12-07T23:36:00.005Z

I went to the Hervé Leger Winter Event in London recently, have so much love the brand and the man behind it - Mr Max Azria - who I had the pleasure of meeting backstage at his runway show in New York. <3

I had the honour of representing one of my favourite fashion-forward stores, The Village Bicycle, on the incredible Vauxhall Fashion Scout selection panel for AW 2012/13 (**Please note 'serious face'**). I joined the judging line-up including super-stylists Katy England and Rebekah Roy, Editor of i-D Holly Schackleton, Vogue.com's Jessica Bumpus, Susie Lau of Style Bubble, Hananah Emisle of Selfridges, Vauxhall Fashion Scout director Martyn Roberts, and designers Marios Schwab, Felder Felder & David Koma.

Front To Back.

Psychopomps & I Will Survive

2010-07-21T14:07:00.006+01:00

I had the pleasure of going to a preview of taxidermist Polly Morgan's Psychopomps and Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos' I Will Survive last night at my favourite London gallery, Haunch of Venison. I am never disappointed by their shows but this time I was literally blown away. It was like being in a twisted fairytale, complete with flying skeletons and a labyrinth...Go Ladies!

(PS. You can also read my review on Art Wednesday too!)
