Latin Lover!
I’ve just been browsing the behind-the-scenes photos of the latest Chanel campaign for SS10. It really caught my attention as I love having a good snoop at what goes into capturing THE perfect shot for the campaign. Plus, it features Claudia – who I just adore. Rather amusingly titled “Latin Lover” it’s defiantly worth a look – just for the sheer beauty of the photos, by Karl Lagerfeld no less.

DIY Fendi
I’ve just been browsing the what’s new on net-a-porter and I came across this – the DIY Fendi Baguette bag – which is pure genius! You get a raffia Baguette bag and multicoloured thread, thimbles and needles and you set to work personalising it as your heart desires. I’ve never really been an arts and crafts kind of girl but this has got me thinking…

Modern Pantry Rocks
Just got back from lunch at The Modern Pantry and it’s now my top spot for lunch in Clerkenwell. There’s a massive refectory style table in the middle of the restaurant with cute cake stands brimming with goodies to tempt you and loads of interesting people reading, chatting and generally people watching. When my crab arrived it was a work-of-art-on-a-plate and so delicious I want more…

Beauty Fix: Real Hair
I love a good product recommendation so in the interest of sharing and caring I’ll spill the beans on my latest beauty fix. After several long hours in centrally heated offices mixed with horrid winter weather my hair needed a little de-fuzzing so a girlfriend (and beauty obsessive) recommended this intense hair mask from Real Hair. Pop it on when you’re in the shower and you’ll look salon perfect for the rest of the week. Result!

People spotting…
One of the best parts of London Fashion Week is watching the high heeled glitterati hobble across the cobbles at Somerset House. And the best vantage point was the Topshop Hot Choc Stop. Armed with an ultra chocolaty hot choc and a Topshop pocket warmer I could have people watched all day.

Spotted…Garance Doré at Matthew Williamson
My “fashion moment” of yesterday has to be when ultra stylie French blogger, Garance Doré, snapped the FC Fashion Week reporters outside the Matthew Williamson show.
On a separate note I just can’t stop staring at Garance’s boots. I have serious shoe envy!

Date for the Diary
The Little Black Gallery has the coolest exhibition on at the moment to coincide with London Fashion Week. As you may have realised by now, I’m a massive fan of fashion photography and the show has an amazing selection of legendary British photographers such as Terence Donavan, Norman Parkinson and Patrick Lichfield. My personal favourite has to be the Lichfield shot of Paul and Talitha Getty. It’s boho at its best.

It's a dogs life...
I just had to share this with you. Our office pet, Peeky the King Charles spaniel, resting on our sofa – is just too cute for words. Apparently, she’s chilling out before the onslaught of London Fashion Week. Ahhh, the life of a “fashion dog”!

Stylie Stylist
Ooh how stylie are these. To celebrate London Fashion Week, Stylist mag commissioned Vivienne Westwood, Giles Deacon and Manolo Blahnik to create 3 fabulous cover stories.
Apparently, Giles is showcasing one of the major inspirations for his new collection – The Gonk! You heard it here first…

Life's little pleasures
There are certain things a girl always needs at hand (credit cards, lip balm, chocolate treat etc etc). Which got me thinking – if money was no object what would be on my wish list? First and foremost it would have to be a chauffer driven car. Ah – can you imagine. It would be waiting for me in the morning to whisk me away to the office (so I no longer had to make pesky decisions about suitable footwear to walk in). Then on a cold winters night it would deliver me home after a cocktail too many.
Number two on my list came to my attention last night when I caught up with some girlfriends at Bob Bob Ricard. What would life be like if a glass of champers was always just a button away!?!

Arabian Nights…
God, I love the digital age! I’ve just received these amazing photos from my girlfriend who’s currently scouring the souks in Marrakesh. And I’m now about to place my virtual shopping list! Top of my list is the fabulous Rose oil (a snip compared to London prices), baboche slippers and a fantastic ornate scarf to rock this season’s tribal trend. It’s the new wave of internet shopping!

It’s all about the flat white!
I've heard a lot about the infamous "Flat White" from our resident Aussie Creative Director, Malika. But I never imagined anything would be quite so good as to oust my regular morning cappuccino from its top spot.
How would I describe it? A cross between a cappuccino and a latte but with a creamy texture and super luxe frothy top (sorry - just had a Masterchef moment). Quite literally yummy and now a staple on the FC coffee run!
