A recap of 2010...

So 2010 has almost drawn to a close ( I can't quite believe that another year has gone by and I am getting older and older) and whilst fretting about my outfit for tomorrow night (still not sure what I shall wear yet), panicking about party plans (still not confirmed everything yet) and hap-hazardly thinking about resolutions (still working on those) I have taken time out from all of the above to have a little reminisce of 2010.

Here goes...
JANUARY
January saw the country grind to a halt when we received a large amount of unexpected snow...

I also discovered the work of artist Alex Cave and managed to pin him down for an interview...

FEBRUARY
February brought fashion week once again and I hit the Elle Style Awards...

We also lost the truly wonderful Alexander McQueen...

MARCH

I was lucky enough to be photographed for Company magazine and penned a few words on the blogging world...

APRIL

April saw trendies going mental and rioting at the American Apparel sample sale...

MAY

I went elephant hunting in May...

JUNE
June saw my annual pilgrimage to Glastonbury. Read some highlights here, here and here...

JULY

The iTunes festival hit The Roundhouse, Camden for the entirety of July. I was lucky enough to get tickets to see The XX, Faithless and Underworld (thanks James)...

AUGUST
August saw two wonderful friends tie the knot, congratulations to Nick and Becca (check out Becca's immense heels)...


It also saw me make a huge life change, after three years of working in PR and marketing at a highstreet giant I took the plunge and went freelance. This was a huge decision and a very difficult one, although so far so good and I have not looked back.
SEPTEMBER
I was shortlisted for the Next Generation, street style blogger competition on Vogue.com...


And of course, I attended fashion week. Read my coverage here, here, and here...

OCTOBER
October was a month for events, a memorable was the Matthew Williamson book launch at Somerset House...

NOVEMBER
The end of the year saw me cementing new loves, November is when my love affair with Mary Katrantzou began...

DECEMBER

As you would expect December has brought the usual festivities, Christmas shopping, sale shopping, gin & tonic, Christmas get togethers and food. It will also see a carefully thought out NYE outfit (post to come in 2011- if I ever figure out what to wear).
I will take this moment to wish you all a Happy new Year readers, thank you for reading, commenting, returning and tweeting.
See you next year!

Matthew Williamson book launch...

Apologies my wonderful readers for the delay with this post as I did attend the event last week but hey, that's life so just enjoy it now!
Last week I was lucky enough to attend the launch of Matthew Williamson's new book. The book is to celebrate Williamson's 13 year career and Somerset House are holding an exhibition featuring some of the beautiful shots and quotes from the contributors. These are not just any contributors but the likes of Sienna Miller, Anna Wintour, Alexandra Shulman and many more have all put pen to paper in ode to the designer so it's well worth a visit, plus - it's free!
So for the launch I had to tackle the cobbles of Somerset House once again, (I thought I had put that one to rest until next fashion week but hey ho!). I went for an all black number, (always a safe and chic bet with the fashion set).


The event was great, Williamson of course was in attendance with muse and friend Sienna Miller. Miller looked stunning in a beautiful floor length, blue gown from Williamson's SS11 collection.
