'I bought a Liberty scarf'...

Last night I popped into Liberty to check out their brand new scarf room... and what a treat it was! You are immediately greeted by an array of printed silks, mouth-watering colours and the softest cashmere's, all adorning every surface. It was like walking into an Aladdin's cave of luxurious accessories!

A week of great events accompany the launch, with stylists from Vogue on hand last night, giving the latest scarf styling tips, by making use of a trunk full of beautiful pieces. As if that wasn't enough, there was also the chance to meet Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders, who were only too happy to have a chat! This decadent new scarf room is yet another reason to visit the store (like you needed another one). In the meantime check out their interactive gallery for a chance to win some goodies and to see the events taking place up until Sunday.

The big reveal...Lanvin for H&M

At last, the much anticipated Lanvin collection for H&M has been revealed, ahead of its launch on 23rd. Here are some of my favourites from what promises to be a deliciously decadent range, full of prints, ruffles and embellishment. Check out the full collection on Vogue.com, to really get your mouth watering.
Technically part of the Men's collection, but would love this with some red skinnies, brogues and a chunky aran knit.

Kate Moss - Final Topshop Collection

Can you believe the final Kate Moss collection for Topshop is launching tomorrow?! It only seems like yesterday that the fanatical crowd were sprinting down the escalators, frantically grappling for a piece of the first collection. 

As usual the flagship windows look fab...wonder if this is what Kate's actual bedroom looks like?? The Oxford Circus store will be hosting a farewell party for Kate tonight, which will give people the chance to catch a glimpse of the supermodel, whilst being the first to bag a purchase. I will be popping in tomorrow, so will be sure to post pics on my favourite pieces. To start planning your purchases now, check out the full collection on Vogue.com.

Happy Halloween Weekend!

I love Halloween in London, there is always so much to do. A couple of years ago I went along to one of the many ghost walks around town, which scared me poo-less! Now, I scare easily... but when masked ghouls started jumping out of trees in St.James Park, even the man freaked out! Great fun! 
Think I am going to stick to the traditional party this year. I'm planning on buying one of the fab cakes from the worlds first over 18's cake shop, 'Eat your heart out & the Pretex potion' in Shoreditch. This is a pop up shop from the brains behind The Mad Artists Tea Party (remember their pop up in Covent Garden two months ago?). The cakes look awesome fun and after tasting their goodies before, I know they will be very yummy! Click here for even more scary goings on in London this weekend....
Thought this would be a good opportunity to post these pumpkin pictures!

I have never been so excited about a launch before and expect huge crowds at their Oxford Circus store on the day - I am going to need a game plan!! H&M are due to release a teaser film next week (I will be sure to post about it), but in the meantime, check out their fab site, for even more info and some gorgeous film clips of the wonderful Alber Elbaz.

London Wallpaper

I love this wallpaper in the new JOY shop on Wardour Street. Apparently it was designed by an Australian artist, just for this store. It captures all the iconic elements of the surrounding area including China Town, Sex Shops and the Eros fountain. Would love to see this created for other London areas...
