Oh my God!

This is just a teeny tiny very quick post to say thank you to the wonderful folks at Catwalk genius, courtesy of whom I have just been awarded tickets to several LFW shows (yeah baby!!!) I'm so excited I don't know what to do, I just feel like jumping up and down (and up and down and up and down...you get the idea!)

See look how happy and excited I am! And how chubby my cheeks are when I smile....dammit!! Thank God I was already dressed up a little more than usual for work today, because i'm going to the launch of the Summer Rayne Oakes style naturally book tonight! All this excitement is too much to take!

Now I know its obvious to say that I look a little Luella here, but I was actually channelling SS09 House of Holland. What do you think?

Anyway I have to scoot if I want to get to that first show! After i've jumped up and down a bit more to get all the excitement out of course! I'm taking my camera and my notebook, so expect gossip and photos galore when I get back!

Lots of love,

PS - I shall be tweeting often throughout the day and weekend, so if you want to follow me in "real time" and endure the randomness that often pops into my head then i'd love you to!!

Conjunctiv-icon!

Becky and I just cosied down to watch the latest episode of Project Catwalk (The far inferior sister of Project Runway, in my humble opinion) and were greatly amused by Henry Holland-of the House of Holland- and his very wooden performance.

The House of Holland show for London Fashion Week (A week which Becky will write about later in a manner far superior to mine) was today, and inspired by Mr Holland's project catwalk debut, what better reason decided I to have a sneaky peak!

I was never really into the printed Tshirt thing in the first place, and you certainly can't base a career on them, so I was really pleased with the move towards tailoring in this line. I am love love loving the royal blue check which featured heavily in this collection. I also love Agyness Deyn although after seeing her in almost every single show in New York I do feel a little overloaded with her at the minute. And antlers! Antlers! I want a pair so much it's untrue! But what i'm not sure I really understand is the piratey eyepatch?

Should we all start dressing like extras in a pirates of the carribean movie? (would this is any way help me meet Johnny Depp?)Did my boyfriend actually have a fashion forward moment when choosing his Halloween costume? (This I doubt very much!)

The actual answer can be found, as answers often can, on Vogue.com. Their view on the whole eyepatch 'thing' is, and this is a direct quote: "EVEN before Agyness Deyn (who has been notably absent from many of the week's top shows so far), took to the House of Holland catwalk sporting a tartan eye patch yesterday afternoon, the front rows at London Fashion Week were abuzz with whispers that a wave of conjunctivitis is sweeping backstage. A particularly contagious infection, with so many models working in such close proximity, it's little wonder that the blight is spreading - but what's a little discomfort if your best friend is Henry Holland, and happy to turn your plight into one of the most talked-about fashion statements of the season? "

So there you go; the problem is solved, all my questions answered. No need to rush out for a fancy eye patch and a one dimensional vision bonanza. Unless you have conjunctivitis. Or really want to look like Agyness Deyn. Or Henry Holland asks you to.......
