The Apartment, LFW

I had the most unexpectedly lovely night this evening! Having been invited to the LFW Film Festival at St Martin's Courtyard in Covent Garden, I was already prepped for a lovely evening with the gorgeous lady, that is Tash. However, the weather was abysmal. I mean, it couldn't have been any worse for an outdoors screening event. We braved the gusts and the rain though, and walked our way down, hoping that by some chance that either a) the weather would have calmed down or b) they would have put up some kind of cover. On arrival however, there was literally no sign of set up at all. And it was unlikely that either Tash or myself would want to sit through the weather anyway.

We decided to walk further into Covent Garden, and ended up having a cheeky drink at Henry's Bar... if only to dry off a little. 

Our friend GG came to meet us as she'd spent some time at The Apartment (set up by the lovely Abimarvel), and very lucky for us, we got to take a look around too! The venue was absolutely stunning... and the main event was situated on the third floor.

Next had their own space which they had creatively filled with shoes, bags and accessories... if my utility room looked anything like this, I would be in absolute heaven!

They also had some of their homeware pieces decorating the main room... including their silver telephone which I've had an eye on for some time!

Next homeware pieces... make sure you try these! They smell DIVINE.

Beautiful Fashion Cupcakes... Such a treat!

Yummy cockatils and cupcakes were also on offer, and The Apartment was also hosting Little Black Dress and Three Floor Fashion. I met some really lovely people tonight, and of course, the cherry on the cake was meeting Ryan Gosling... what a handsome man he is!

My date for the evening... (Yeah, right!)

But truly, I had the best time with these girls... and altogether, what seemed to be a miserable affair actually turned out to be a wonderful night, so thank you!

Have you been to any events to celebrate LFW this week?

New York Fashion Week

I have absolutely loved looking at all the updates coming in over the past couple of days about NYFW. It's making me to entirely jealous of everyone who gets to sit and watch at least one show, of any of the 4 Fashion weeks. My lovely friend Tash (a fabulous blogger, check her out here) and I have been trying every way possible at sneaking our way in, but when it comes to LFW, our best bet will probably be hanging outside Somerset House just to catch glimpses of the Spring/Summer 14 collections showcased. I wouldn't mind sitting in a coffee shop nearby though and observing all the street style -- these events are such a hub of artistic inspiration. In the meantime though, I guess we can take comfort in this ADORABLE picture of little Harper from Victoria Beckham's show... (if only we could all sit on Beck's lap and watch the show, eh?).

Moving on to the fashion then...

A few shows I would have loved to see so far would be Zac Posen (pretty pastels, florals, layered skirts and feminine silhouettes), Opening Ceremony (bright ensembles, graphic prints, monochrome madness, oversized layers), Victoria Beckham (of course!), and catching a glimpse at what's coming for the High Street with H&M and All Saints would not have gone a miss! 

Which collections do you love the most so far at NYFW?
