Vogues Fashion Night Out last night, became a fabulously fun night out for me and a couple of friends and fellow fashion students, Peg, Emily and Katie...
Frolicking around London’s west end on a fashion and shopping high (and I might add rather tipsy by the end of the night), we started our evening on Oxford Street, led into Oasis by a pink Oscar style carpet (v. glamorous eh?) and greeted with many free cocktails and choccies. We were soon trying on sparkling outfits in Topshop and enjoying yet more free drinks at Urban Outfitters whilst having a sneaky peek at Simon Preens new collection.

A surreal and chance meeting with Noel Fielding led to an interesting conversation about his favourite shoe designer, with a name that you would rather expect to belong to a Mighty Boosh character; Archie Eyebrows… (check out his website www.archieeyebrows.co.uk, the shoes are actually amazing and very ‘Vince Noir’!)
Brown’s was full of London’s young fashion elite (of which we all decided we aspire to be part of one day) with Henry Holland, William Tempest, Jonathan Saunders and Pixie Geldof amongst those present…
In Burberry, I enjoyed the strongest vodka and tonics I have EVER had whilst talking to one of the writers for Vogue about my love for fashion journalism (he oddly recommended I wrote a piece on this blog on avoiding Mosquito bites as insisted Alexandra Shulman would read it as is apparently an avid follower..?)
After queuing for what seemed a life time, we finally were in Chanel, spectating on a live photo shoot with the fabulously brilliant and beautiful Daisy Lowe and Erin O’Connor… [Reverie: How amazing would it be to have fashion icons like themselves to model for my degree FMP photo shoots…?]
