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!

Heels & Hangovers: The Elle Style Awards party rocked...

So continuing the running theme of the thrills and spills of fashion parties this week, I will tell the tale of my attendance at the Elle Style Awards after party on Monday night.

I hit the red carpet, which was surrounded by paps waiting to catch those who were leaving early- such as my guilty tiny pleasures the Olsen Twins, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell the list could go on forever but you get the gist.

The after party was buzzing with mini bottles of champagne and raspberry cocktails flowing and beautiful ladies handing out Godiva chocolates (divine, indulgence or what?).

I wasn't the only one cutting shapes on the dance floor when I turned to my right I saw none other than the Agyness Deyn dancing with Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe, Nicholas Hoult and Pixie Geldof, I clearly had the hottest ticket in town and the brimming goody bag was the icing on the cake and just big enough to fit in my killer heels once I got down the road and slipped on my back up plimsolls...oops, I guess I just killed the glamorous illusion a little.

Love...Love

I was flicking through an old copy of Elle today, Jan09 issue to be exact. I suddenly remembered how AMAZING this shoot was with Courtney Love. I have always said this would not be a celeb style blog. I am however making this one exception for my fave rock goddess. The styling is so inspiring, I could look at her all day!
