L.A Chick in London...

So the past few days have been somewhat manic yet fun :). My friend Dominique from L.A was in town so we hung out and I got to also give her a tour of London which she loved!

I’ve got to say one of the highlights of her visit had to be bumping into some folks she grew up with and hadn’t seen for many years outside Buckingham Palace and at that same moment getting approached by the BBC to do an interview on the whole Obama visit, as they overheard them talking and realised they were Americans. How random! I must say the world sure is a small place indeed!

I also took her to Brick Lane and she off course fell in Love with the food and fashion!! We also had a pretty windy boat ride to London Bridge which was fun!!

Below are a few pics

Right now have to catch-up on my emails!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The finding your Feet Fashion show…

Today I attended the Finding your Feet Fashion event at the exquisite celebrity venue, Movida.

The finding your Feet Fashion show is a youth-led event that promotes young designers alongside those who are already established in the industry. It was put together as an inspirational new way to showcase young British fashion and talent.

All proceeds raised on the night was donated to The Diana Award. The Diana Award was set up in memory of Princess Diana to recognise young people who make selfless contributions to their communities, and help empower young people to make the difference to their own lives and society as a whole.

The Catwalk show featured several up and coming designers who included Bot I Lam, Louise Crokett Danielle Mazin and Tina Lobondi just to name a few.

Overall it was a great event with a nice crowd.

The raffle prizes were fantastic and included £150 Fenwick Gift Voucher, Wunderkind sunglasses (worth £395), a Nicole Farhi bag and lots more fabulous goodies.

After the final Catwalk show I made my way home and gosh it was FREEZING!!!!!!!! British weather hey-lol

Nite, Nite

The Vogue Fashion night out and Pre London Fashion Week Celebrations

Hi guys,

I can’t believe fashion week is nearly here again…I feel like the previous season was the other day!!! But anyway I’m not complaining, I am in fact extremely excited about all the glitz and glamour etc etc that will be happening next week in London. I may be considered as being biased here but I can honestly say LFW is the best fashion week and most daring I have yet been to!!. From the clothes to the people and the energy surrounding it makes it so unique in its own right and so wonderful to be part of.

As part of my pre-fashion week celebrations I went to the Vogue Fashion Night out event in London’s West End and I must say everyone was dressed to impress and at their ‘fashion best!!’. You were easily able to distinguish the brave with their daring hair cuts (think Rhianna, Solange and Cassie) and the trend setters from the trend followers!!

As part of a bold global initiative, the international editions of VOGUE partnered with designers, department stores, high-street chains and boutiques to create Fashion’s Night Out, an evening extravaganza held around the world from 6pm until midnight. For this event to be made possible the VOGUE team worked with retailers to create a night of original in-store activities, including personal appearances, makeovers and workshops, during extended shopping hours.

For those of you looking to get a taste of fashion week can hop down to the ‘A La Mode’ LFW Catwalk at the Charing Cross Hotel next week. Visit the below link for more info:

Meeting Emma Bunton and trip down to Vanessa Blake’s new outlet…

Goodness gracious me, I am truly exhausted!!! I have had one of the longest days…in fact longest weeks and become a regular in Central London (lol). With the amount of meetings I have had this week I most def think I need a holiday VERY SOON !!

I woke up today at 6am (which is a regular for me except on a Sunday J) and tried to reply to as many emails as possible as these days I tend to be out for the whole day in one meeting or the other. Well I’m not complaining at the end of the day it is all positive business.

I was meant to quickly nip down to Piccadilly to get my nails down by Vanessa Blake ( www.vanessablake.co.uk ) but what was meant to be a quick trip became a half day trip as I started wondering all the shops and adoring all the new Kurt Geiger shoes.

At Vanessa Blake one of the make-up artist was giving a very happy customer a make-over. The end results were amazing !! and I don’t even want to get started on the eye shadow range as I am just simply in love with them.

Also my greeting cards ( www.lovegenevieve.co.uk )are now stocked at Vanessa Blake so go check them out if you’re around the area!

So upon my stop I met Emma Bunton who was having a family day out with her partner JaDe and son ( who may I add is just absolutely adorable).

Jade ( Emma’s partner) took this lovely pic of us :)

Right I think I’m going to go to bed now as tomorrow is going be a long, long, day!!!

Goodnight my lovelies
