The South Bank show Pt2 - Gabriel's Wharf

Yet another great area on the south bank with some cute, kooky shops and yummy eateries - a great place to visit if you are ever in need of an original, hand crafted gift. There are also some great shops just underneath the OXO Tower (next door) which are well worth a look. Another great people watching spot...just pull up a funky wooden chair!
For all you day time TV lovers out there, this is the building where 'This Morning' is filmed. Check out the one way window when you walk past and see if you recognise the view.
I love the paintwork and old advertisements above the shops.

Fashion's Night Out - Sept 08 2010

Next Wednesday sees Vogue's Fashion's Night Out come to London once more. If you missed it last year, this is a great celebration of fashion and shopping that takes place in major cities all around the world – sounds good no?? Each year, designers and retailers hold events across the city with highlights this year including... face painting and Karaoke at Mulberry, champagne, canapes and live music at Burberry with Matthew Williamson set to transform his Bruton Street store into a Moroccan Souk!

Think I will head to Chanel for the free manicure in their AW Les Khakis collection (Khaki Rose is the one for me). Then over to Liberty's to see Manolo Blahnik himself open 'World of Manolo', a pop up shop of his beautiful shoes, including new designs using vintage Liberty prints. All of this to the sounds of Motown and Soul from the in-house DJ, accompanied by specially created cocktails. I like the sound of the 'Manolo Mojito'! Check out vogue.co.uk for more details and to start planning your itinerary!
