Posh Kitty in Yves Saint Laurent

Today as I stopped at the traffic lights on Seymour Place in W1 London I was thinking long and hard of where to stop and pay the dreaded London Congestion Charge, when I noticed this beautiful girl crossing in front of me. As the lights changed I realized she was moving rather slowly. She looked me right in the eye as if to say " sorry I can't go any faster than this , please don't run me over".

"How odd" i thought until she mounted the pavement on the other side to reveal.......

These babies! I know! Oh My Lordy!

They are fabulous but skyscraper high! No wonder she wasnt moving that fast.
After I got over the slight amusment that she was WALKING around London as opposed to being chauffer driven door to door, I carried on about my business along Seymour place. Then I decided i just had to go back to find out who she was, where these booties were from and if she needed a lift! Well she certainly wouldn't have got that far and so I whizzed the car around, made the block and set about looking for her. Sure enough I caught up with her near to Marble Arch

Meet Victoria from Latvia here in London studying English.
In a Ted Baker Leather jacket, Moschino Posh Kitty T -shirt

Louis Vuitton handbag and 7 for All Mankind jeans


Victoria said her boots were uncomfortable at first ( surprise surprise) but now they are easier because she is used to walking in them. Must take a bit of practice I reckon, so If you fancy a pair I suggest you rush out and buy Camilla Morton's How to Walk in High Heels before you do anything else.

More skyscraper heels in the Chapter Can you Hear my shoes talking to you in my book Rocks Frocks and Cocktails to come.

Kelly Love


I spotted this gorgeous corsage from a mile away (not hard I know) on the charming Kelly Love. Immediately I knew it had to be from Johnie Loves Rosie, I love that their oversized flowers are like a third bosom and if there was ever a reason to be proud to have a third bosom it would be wearing one of these. Hahahahaha!

Kelly's dress is from ASOS (www.asos.com) where she works in garment technology and design but even better she has her own Kelly Love fashion label.
Check out her Spring Summer 08 feminine frocks at www.kellylove.com.au
You can also see footage from Australian Fashion week featuring Kelly's designs at the link below.

Anna Lou's London Fashion Week Party

This is the very talented Anna Lou Scaife from Accessory label Anna Lou of London.
Seen here at her London SS09 Fashion Week Party in a frock from Mei Hui Liu's Victim boutique in the Carnaby shopping district of London.


Proud Mummy Scaife tried to convince me she wasn't used to wearing dresses because her business is in hot air ballooning and she spends most of her life in jeans and wellies. I'm guessing mum looks just as cute in those jeans and wellies as she does in this little number from Mousetrap in Chichester .


Anna Lou was Selected by a panel of inspirational judges, to be a part of Courvoisier's The Future 500, an exclusive private members network for rising stars across the UK.

All members have achieved significant success in their field - be it as an artist, businessman, entrepreneur or activist.

No prizes for guessing what we were driking at this party.



Ocki Magill (seen below) designs for Anna Lou. Seen here in a retro dress and a Rock Necklace from the Anna Lou collection

This is my favourite piece from the current Anna Lou collection. If worn with a very simple frock, all the attention will be drawn to your beautiful face the best compliment to this masterpiece.

During LFW Anna Lou collaborated with womenswear deisgner Laura Lees.Here are some of the pieces that graced the Laura Lees catwalk.





Besides her amazing designs some of the other stars on the night were Anna Lou's shoes.
They are by Natasha Murro sold at Victim.

More shoes like these and sparkle from Anna Lou in my book Rocks Frocks and Cocktails

Yvonne and Nike get their Rock and Republic on at Harrods

This is Gwoooorjus Yvonne!
Her gold St Christoher and Cross necklaces are from Hatton Garden. Yvonne travels a lot ( hubby works away and she is a model) and so the St Christopher is for protection, the beautiful cross would have the same effect I imagine.

And this is just as Gwoooorjus Nike, pronounced Knee-kay.
Nike's cocktail ring is from Van Clef and Arpels which was a pressie from her hubby. He bought it in the airport in South Africa.

Hmmmmmm nice hubby I wonder where I can buy one of him? Maybe in the airport in South Africa? Hahaha!

I met these beauties at the Rock and Republic launch of their new cosmetics line exclusive to Harrods.
Yvonne was wearing a Pinko dress ( Naomi Campbell used to be the face of Pinko, maybe Yvonne needs to be the new face) she certainly wears it well.

Little black clutch, black pashmina

And Louboutin Heels

Nike ( Knee Kay) was wearing a white Belstaff Jacket

Chanel dress

and Yves Saint Laurent peep toe platforms

Nike is starting her own cosmetic range with everything from perfume to hair care. More on this in my book Rocks Frocks and Cocktails and in the mean time take example from these ladies because they sure know how to Rock it Frock it and Cocktail it Baby!
