Three

I apologise in advance if this post is rather gushy and comes out incredibly cheesy. But this month marks the third birthday of Coco's Tea Party, and it is fair to say the third year has been the most amazing yet. I would just like to say a big big big thank you to all of you loyal readers out there who come back time and time again. Without your lovely support there is no way I would have the opportunities I have, so thank you.

So back to last night. First of all the collection was beautiful. I loved the pale greens and the trench coats were to die for. I'd be happy to wear any of the collection, there was not a single piece I didn't like.

I've uploaded a few images from last night, but will get the rest up asap. UPDATED: Full set of images can now be viewed HERE.




And my 'conversation' with Victoria Beckham went as followed:

Me - I like your dress.

VB - Thank you.

Me and Stevie were shocked at how much softer she looks in real life. She didn't appear plastic at all, and was very very pretty. Sadly we didn't spot Mary-Kate once, although we heard she was there.

Blogging and Drinking - Expect spelling mistakes....

Right now I am sitting in a room with Carine, Julia and Katie Grand and Stevie from Discotheque, just watched the Burberry show which was full of stunning pastel shades. Watched Anna Wintour most of the show though. Also met Mario, who is so so so nice - so nice infact that he remembers Dani from Between Every Line, who he met as Fashions Night Out.

Oh and Victoria Beckham spoke to me....

Feeling very very over excited.

OMG Carine is dancing right behind me.....

Amazing Grace

Over the past month or so it seems the fashion world has (rightly) fallen completely, obsessively in love with Grace Coddington. If you are yet to see The September Issue please do, and it will then become very clear why everyone adores her so much.



Grace has kindly compiled her favourite fashion week moments for Vogue.com [click HERE to view] so you can now find out which collections she liked best and what her favourite sandwich is. I know you're all dying to know...

Plaited Hair

Even though I liked the clothes in the Alexander Wang collection, it was the hair (for once) that I was more interested in. The long braid worn to one side looked so cool. I'm already growing my hair long again so that I can wear this style by Spring. The plait had another big moment this month at the Emmy Awards. Blake Lively wore a long Rapunzel-like plait with her red Versace dress.

I prefer the style at Alexander Wang, what do you think? Either way it looks like plaited hair, and not just the fringe version à la Lauren Conrad, could be the next big hair trend.

Also I can't decide if I like Blake in the red Versace or if I think it looks unbelievably tacky. Any opinions?

Josh Goot S/S 10 - Models in Motion

I apologise for the bad quality of these pictures. I bought a new camera a few weeks ago and am still not properly educated on how to work it, this morning I set it onto a strange function and don't know how to change it back (need to find my manual...) so I had to use my old digi for this show. It doesn't like photographing moving objects as I'm sure you can tell.
Anyway, fab collection, adore the colours.









For more pics from the show go HERE. To check out my backstage antics at Aquascutum this morning (and no, I'm not a model, in reply to some comments) click HERE.

Kate Lanphear from US ELLE was front row, as were Editor and Creative Director of ELLE UK. I'm 99% sure I also saw WAG Alex Curran checking out my studded boots. I in turn was swooning over her leopard Louboutin boots.
