SONY ERICSSON LAUNCH


Poppy Delevine


Danny Cipriani

On Thursday I was invited to the launch of the latest Sony Ericsson X10 handset in Central London. The launch was hosted by model Poppy Delevine and the heart stopping rugby player Danny Cipriani!

I must admit, even though I use both a Blackberry and iPhone- the X10 looks set to rival the iPhone and become a major smart phone. I had a play around with the phone whilst dealing with a major hangover from the night before, but I didn't let my headache get the best of me!

The handset is out already and available on all major networks- You should go down your local Carphone Warehouse to have a look!




PR Power: Laura from Dare & Jordan from Brando

JODIE'S VERY HARSH CIRCUS





If you are a major fashionista or a night owl in London then you probably will know about this tres sexual club night, Circus. For those of you unfortunate people who have never come across Circus before, then carry on reading.

Circus is now a monthly club night situated in many cool venues, brought to you by DJ and women about town Jodie Harsh (pictured above). This actual queen of the London fashion night scene has invented something so cool, so spectacular and so fashionable that even Karl Lagerfeld would feel threatened! Circus is all about its customers, it's very visual, colourful and OTT. Probably one of the very few places in London that would make you feel fabulous even if you wrapped yourself in cling film and slapped on some fierce lipstick...  You'd probably be respected more than Madonna herself!

Socialites and celebs a like flock to this night and every night this is on it just gets better and better! From Matthew Williamson to Roisin Murphy, Kelly Osbourne to Alex Zane, they've all donned their presence at this prestigious club night.

Below are pictures from Circus on 3/4/10. To check out when the next night is, click here.

GRAZIA HIT T5


Grazia are always pushing the boundaries when it comes to creating a look. This time they wanted to push it out all they way to Heathrow's Terminal 5!

The first magazine to have ever shot a spread in T5 with designers such as Calvin Klein, Jill Sander and Donna Karen. Whilst watching the video, above, it has really inspired me. As many of you will know I am filming a menswear fashion film for my final project at uni, and this is the sort of thing I am exactly looking for! The art direction, lighting and styling just looks superb. I didn't realise how amazing T5 actually is, architecture wise. What a great location for a great shoot!

Does this mean Heathrow can now be called "the most fashionable airport in the world"? What do you think?

MULBERRY AW10/11 PRESS DAY

London Fashion Week is over, so, now is the time for press days. The press day invites kicked off firstly with Mulberry, if you read my blog regularly you'll know how much I j'adore Mulberry. Getting to see the clothes up front was amazing and I have to say, I spotted a few goodies I know I will want once they are out.

Mulberry's colour pallet for this season was quite prominant and something that I truly loved; The three main colour trends were nude, black and purple. I'm very pleased to see how Emma Hill has raised the game with the ready-to-wear for Mulberry and I think it's time Mulberry has kind of stepped away from its 'just accessories' image. The ready-to-wear collection is very feminine with its tailoring. I saw a lot of frills, gems and fur this season, and I can't really complain! Mulberry totally has it in the bag.

I spotted two things which really stood out for me. The nude hooded coat, and also, the mens canvas backpack with leather trims. It was totally j'adorable and now I am almost lusting over the Mulberry backpack more than the Alexa, dare I say! It's gorgeous. Backpacks have become increasingly fashionable lately, Both Givenchy and Alexander Wang have also started to follow the fash pack with the backpack trend!








Mulberry gone vintage? J'adore!



My new love! The Mulberry backpack!


This is really cute, the heart on the sweater is actually a pocket!







Loving a bit of Rabbit fur


This piece is clever. The brooch on the top is actually knotted so you can wear it as a bracelet or necklace if you want!

CATHERINE BABA, J'ADORE DARLING!


Catherine Baba has been called "the most fashionable woman in Paris" many times and rightly so. This Australian born art deco fashion stylist, or "stileest" how she likes to be called is probably the most thought provoking and glamorous stylists out there in this century.

There is not much information on Catherine Baba, but she has styled publications such as Vanity Fair, Dazed & Confused and Vogue; As well as fashion house Chanel to name a few. She smokes Yves Saint Laurent cigarettes and is probably the only woman who rides a bicycle around Paris in killer heels.

Her electric style is most eye catching, inspired by 1920/30s glamour. When she walks into a room, heads turn. When she speaks, people listen. This person right in front you is probably the most influential stylists of our time.

J'adore Darling!

TRAIN WRECK MUCH?

It's her party, and she can wear what she wants to. But is it just me who thinks this dress is an absolute disaster?

The Saturdays singer, Rochelle Wiseman, celebrated her 21st birthday in the swanky May Fair hotel yesterday, but her choice of dress caused a bit of an outcry. A silver gem-studded dress with a long train kinda sounds appealing. However, this dress just turned out to be something Katie Price would wear to a funeral!

Rochelle, I love you, but this dress needs to go into the the back of your cupboard alongside your mothers wedding dress love.
