Wolf and Badger new designer launch..

I went to Wolf and Badger boutique in Notting Hill - great concept - different designers hire a suitable space for 3 months so the shop is constantly changing - really good stuff as well - and loads of different designers!! I found some garments I loved and loads of amazing jewellery as well.. (I actually went back the following day and purchased a top and 2 pairs of earrings in there are still on my 'wish list'...
I went straight up to this dress and said 'soooo Rihanna' to my friend!! Funny enough, the designer went up to me 2 minutes later when she saw I photographed it and said; Ahh, you like my dress yeah?! I love that your are photographing it, I actually made this one for Rihanna... Haha.. I told her, I kind a new just when I saw it.. and she was loving it!!
Åsa, one of my best friends (I have known her since we were 6 years old..) that was visiting me from Sweden for a few days (she's kind of always visiting me so I'm sure she will be featured in this blog on a regular basis..).
Afterparty at BBB (Beach Blanket Babylon) on Ledbury Road, Notting Hill.
Åsa wanted to be a hand model for the evening (I have like 40 pics of her hands, haha).. (I did the same thing in Stockholm the other day - will show ya 2morrow..)

"Searching in-between the lines"

Working as a stylist you must be able to source any kind of random clothes / accessorises needed for any shoot. I love it when I came across some 'trashingly' amazing shops that I know is gonna become useful one day.. This is a great example...

Such a great combo...

Am I loving milk choc mixed with salt liquorice or what??!!! Salt liquorice and crisps is another fantastic mix. And It HAS to be SALT liquorice, the stuff you find here in the UK (like sweet licerice) is tastes like ☔♜♞⚡⚉➽₩... That's why we have the fabulous Swedish shop tho (slightly overpriced but hey, I'm still a regular..).

Even more press-days - last one and my FAVO!!!

Welcome to Blow PR where you can find most of the 'London style' designers - the creative
ones.. (Lady Gaga's heaven...)
Rihanna wore one of these recently in her video.. Loving the shoes inside the jump suits..
LOVE these cakes.. AMAZING... I tried some of the 'creations' and so yummy as well.. Normally it only looks good and taste sugar. I had some round fun looking thing on a stick and it was delicious.... Really loving these! Check em out, Gothic Cookie, the website aint that interesting tho but they are obviously very good at customising..

Press-days...

Being a stylist/fashion journalist etc you really want to check out all the new stuff that you'll work with for the next half a year in the PR's. So, all the PR's (the big ones with loads of different clients as well as the individual fashion houses therefore have press-days. It's normally for just one or two days when people in the industry can check out all the new collections before items are being sent out for shoots). It's also a lot of food, lunches, breakfasts, coffees, cakes, can be quick blow-dries and mini manicures etc etc and hey yeah, champagne (as always in the fashion world - even if NOT always glamorous.. remember.. ) and of course, the goodie bags.. But still, it's so not what it used to be like.. Recession recession.. :(
Some pics from some of the bigger PR's to follow...
Store PR had their pressday in a suite in The Claridges Hotel.
Fashion Stephen at Claridges
Exposure PR - we had some food here as well..
Tommy Hilfiger - we had some cakes and mixed juice cocktails..
Modus PR - we had some coffee and macaroons..
Brooks Brothers on Regent Street - coffee and cookies..
Bryan Morel, they always do a lovely lunch so we made sure we were there lunch time - of course!! considering, now we were HUNGRY ;)

Then, we continued to about another 10 PR's and finally ended up at a fashion party, of course...
