Soho House already and it was only Monday!


Guest List, models and the most Perfect Tom Collins were the back drop for Amisha s spectacular launch!




Little moi was mingling amidst some of London’s green glitterati , and although I didn’t stay till the cautionary 3 am finish, I did manage to try or rather hold too all of the jewellery pieces on the display bar of course not the ones worn by the models who were cleverly staying numb. Just looking at the images you can see why, wearing a piece of Nicole de Carle gorgeous heraldic underwear could give some poor chatty chap heart palpitations.
I adore Nicole and she has promised she is in the process of designing something special for all her green aquatic fans !!! Come on Nicole when??????

The other models looked fab in Adaz and Simone Williams creations
Whilst just doing my thing and mingling with the IN crowd I volunteered a £5 note for a raffle ticket for the Gardens of Angel community project in Brazil ( Amisha had already told us to come prepared ,) so I was just being relaxed (I never win), tatatatata I WON and guess what, how perfect an Elegant Rebellion piece from Amisha's jewellery collection !
Having spent half the night looking at them and checking prices this was the ultimate, and completely unexpected.



I would say the perfect start to the week and nigh impossible to top!

POP UP Eco shop in Portabello

Gosh it was rather fun last Wednesday people were piling onto the street. There was some delicious food served by the Ellie at the Happy Kitchen and yes there were many little happy
greenies after trying her delicious fayre!

This amazing pop up shop run by some truly inspiring entrepreneurs Lisa and Sarah opened to a really swift trade. 40 labels ranging from Pants to Poverty, Just trade, BBoheme and Juicy Lucy. Of course you know what your total fashionista is like and I tried desperately to bags the changing room, which was just continuously taken.




In my hand to try on I had the GOODONE recently runner up at the refashion awards, IzzyLane skirt and jacket (with a rather interesting reduction, who doesnt need wool in this weather... please) and a lovely dress from still... Not to mention that I had managed already to become owner of the most gorgeous bobo boots at a little discount but that is another story...

Well the shop is at 303 Westbourne Grove and is open every day of the week till the 24th December what a shame, and the people running it are the designers themselves now you have to admit that is the best!!!!

The CDC - Launch





Have just spent a fab evening at the launch of the Cdc which showcases labels Miksa, Elena Garcia, Sew Last Season, Ria Roberts and House of Tammam.



We were treated to a fabulous fashion show with loads of wine and titilation bits all yummy and fairly traded. The evening started with a short intro by Elena and the aims of the collective which put the three Ps into play without all the bureaucracy, its fresh young and eternally optimistic love it!!!



How else do we change !! And now to the best bit the fashion.



..Miksa urban but a little tailored great finish with a grey and creamy pink palet and spring blue using natural dyes organics and fair trade in Peru and India she is showing her collection in Paris this year clever lady one to watch.



Elena whose collection - I defy anyone not to suit using bamboo and silk - can be worn in so many different ways so you become your own stylist I love this, a long time ago in a bleary past I fell in love with yogii yamamoto for the same idea. The pallet is cream and green and I can't wait for spring summer 2009 To wear it elena will be showing at estethica so will behearing a lot more from her.



Ria Roberts showed a colourful combo of shirts for gals and guys british retro Sort of nannys nursery her prints and colour combinations are just so so fab.


I think that asos has managed to get their hands on them well done guys!
