A post entirely unrelated to having a baby, it had to happen eventually!

On Sunday afternoon I had the enviable pleasure of attending the relaunch of Jimmy Choo's New Bond Street store. Branded the townhouse, the beautiful new shop is decked out over three fabulous floors and stocked with the whole range of Jimmy Choo woman, including; footwear, handbags, sunglasses, small leather goods and fragrance.

Earlier in the month I had the pleasure of spending the day in this quaint little town, otherwise known as London. Top of the agenda was a visit to see the launch collection of a new British designer handbag and accessories brand called Alfie Douglas.

Last Friday I finished work at 12:30pm (early finish Fridays should be made mandatory!) and quickly hopped in my car to head to my first ever Bristol Fashion Week (BFW). En route I stopped to collect my lovely friend and newbie blogger Claire (check out her site here - Desperate Blogwife) and we both chatted excitedly (barring some mild road rage from me) all the way to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway where the bi-annual event takes place.

It was with slight trepidation that I headed into London on Tuesday afternoon to start preparations for attending the British Fashion Awards (BFAs). On the one hand I was bubbling over with excitement to be in the vicinity of some of this country’s greatest fashion talents. On the other I was completely petrified they’d spot me as an obvious fashion fraud and ban me from entering the Savoy... thankfully this particular fear proved to be unfounded.

Last Thursday I was invited to spend an evening surrounded by Wallis’ AW12 Christmas collection - it was a true Wallis Wonderland! Guests browsed through the new collection while quaffing Champagne, sandwiches and cakes (mini éclairs - nom nom nom!). There were sequins, bold prints and snuggly knits galore. Many of the items have yet to appear online or in stores, so we were treated to a sneak peak of all the exciting new pieces about to launch.
