Hedonism

Today we took advantage of the London Fashion Week perks and went for complimentary press haircuts at Toni & Guy. They’d shipped in the best stylists from across the country and we love how our hair turned out.

Our first show of the day was Jasper Conran which was nice but I was disappointed to see some fur in the collection. On a happier note, there’s been a lot less fur on the catwalks this year than there was last, so that’s a really good thing.

We then went for a look around the exhibition. I could spend days looking at all the pretty things. Christopher Raeburn had made a giant inflatable fox which was in the courtyard. He also had a crazy scarf installation in the stairwell.

I'd love to get one of his jackets but I’ll have to save up first.

We then stopped by PAPERSELF, a company that make paper-cut eyelashes which are so intricate. The lady put some on for me and they’re so pretty. They’re reusable but I’m not sure how well I’ll be able to reapply them.

In the evening it was Vivienne Westwood’s show which we missed out on by a whisker. Grazia managed to get in and go backstage afterwards, she’ll have to teach us her tricks!

The show was at the Royal Court of Justice, which was an amazing venue and while queuing we got to see such celebrities as Girls Aloud, Pete Burns, Boris Becker, Paloma Faith and the new Dr Who, Matt Smith. A swarm of paparazzi rushed at any blacked out car that pulled up and then sighed loudly as some poor normal person got out.

We then rushed to Notting Hill to meet Mel and Dave for dinner at Otto. Mel introduced us to an ice cream and espresso drink called an affo-gatto and it was delicious!
