My excellent night out

Last night I had an early dinner with The Actor at our friend Elaine's fabulous restaurant - A Little of What You Fancy.  I know I keep blogging about it and it certainly doesn't need any publicity as it's packed every single night.  I can barely get a table and often have to get take-away.

I drank Sipsmith gin and tonic and The Actor had red wine
We both had the roasted red pepper, tomato and

My big night out

As I'm still on my economy drive I was lucky that pretty much everything I wanted to do this week were on the same night. 
First I met my friends Stephen Beresford, who's a brilliant writer, and the lovely stylist Richard Sloan aka Sloanie in Mayfair to help choose a 40th Birthday present.  Stephen very kindly treated us to cocktails in the bar at The Connaught afterwards.
I didn't take any

And now for something beautiful - Nick Knight for V magazine

I really don't the pictures on my previous post on The Apprentice so I wanted to put up something I do like.
I've always loved Nick Knight's work, I'm doing piece about him soon.  I came across this shoot on The Fashion Spot earlier.  Nick always breaks new ground in photography and I think these watercolour shots are beautiful.

Iconic American clothing private view at Out Of Town, Clerkenwell

Last night Jo, Daisy and I had a lovely evening out.  We went to the private view of an exhibition of American vintage menswear at the fabulous Out of Town in Clerkenwell.
I love the shop, there's some great pieces in there
The shop is owned by my brilliant friend Jon Cooke (above) and Seb Marling.  Jon always looks fantastic and has an amazing eye for all things vintage.  And he cracks me up,

Daisy Beaumont's Birthday and Sunday lunch at The Wrestlers

The beautiful Daisy - I love this girl SO much.  I didn't manage to get a picture of her on her own so here's one I took a few weeks ago instead.
Daisy had originally planned to have a barbeque in her garden yesterday but as it rained during the day she decided to have a drinks party in the evening.
My gorgeous friends Jo Butler and Jon Cooke came over for a drink and to give me a lift.  When

Jake and Nicola's Hollywood Birthday party

Nicola and Jake about to blow out their candles
My gorgeous friends Jake Maskall and Nicola Hayles celebrated their 40th Birthday's with a joint party at Grand Union in Farringdon on Saturday night.  The theme was Hollywood glamour, any excuse to dress up.  Of course I had no trouble finding something to wear, I had too much choice.  It's day wear I have a problem with.

There aren't any

Another great party at Mrs Jones Emporium

Kelly Love looking amazing in a new Mrs Jones creation.  This is the first picture I took at the party.  I could have taken a lot more but I was too busy chatting or flying around.
I love the legs!

I'm lying in bed at The Actor's as we had a very late night.  Apologies if this post is a bit disjointed but I'm just going to blog a few random

Mad Men party

On Saturday night we went to our great friend Benedict Wong's Mad Men party to celebrate his 40th Birthday.
I was ready on time for a change.  The Actor was late as he had to eat, iron his shirt and polish his shoes.  I ended up having a sandwich and two glasses of chocolate milkshake (always good for stomach lining!).   I was going to get him to take some pictures of me but it was 10.45pm when

Finding old photographs

This is my passport picture from 2000.  I took this in one of those booths in Liverpool Street where you can pick the one you like best.  I wish you had that option with all photos!  Daisy did hers at the same time.  She looked just like Emma Peel.
Readers of my blog will know that I've been doing a life laundry for the past few weeks.  I've found tons of things I thought I'd lost which is

Spanish Fly, Islington

Photography by Kitty Walker
Last night I went along to my friend Christos' club night, Spanish Fly at Albert and Pearl in Islington with the ever lovely Jo Butler and Daisy Beaumont.  We had a right old catch up.  Here's a few of my snaps.  I wish they were as good as Kitty Walker's pictures of the venue above!

There was a great rockabilly band and gogo dancers Cherry and Treacle were

Giles SS11 and Giles/M.A.C after party

I may be biased as he's my best friend, but I thought the Giles show was AMAZING and contained touches of absolute genius.  After winning the ANDAM award two seasons ago one of the stipulations was that Giles had to move his catwalk show to Paris.  His extremely welcome return as top dog in London fashion went down a storm.

Giles' incredible eye astounds me

Where I actually enjoyed... bowling

Last night I went with a group of friends went to the All Star Bowling Lanes in Bloomsbury Place, WC1 for a surprise birthday dinner and a bit of bowling.
I have only been bowling once before with The Actor and My dad.  It was my dad's idea and he was really good, as was The Actor who is good at everything.  The pair of them were so competitive I barely got a look in and ended up leaving them

Latitude Diary 2010

What a weekend!!  We have completely ruined ourselves, but an amazing time was had by all.  I am a complete mess and have managed to lose my voice.  I'm going to do this post and then I will have to go for a lie down yet again!! 
Friday nightAfter all my moaning about going to Latitude, miraculously I was fine as soon as we arrived.  We didn't get there until 9pm on Friday night as The Actor
