Fashion's Night Out - London

Fashion's night out, hosted by Vogue in London on the 8th of September was a night of fashion celebration. With a load of shops taking part, from high street guru Topshop to up-and-coming chains like Bershka, everyone took part. Many shops had live DJ's, competitions, one-off pieces and free goody bags filled with fashion-forward stuff, making it a night to remember. The bigger names, such as Burberry, pulled out all the stops, hosting bands such as One Night Only and throwing monumental parties. Of course, all the big names were out on the town:

Claudia Schiffer

Amber Le Bon

Gwyneth Paltrow

Thandie Newton

Oh, the sweet last days of summer

Flicking through this september issue of Teen Vogue I spotted a truly stunning photograph: a beautiful young girl without a care in the world, laughing next to a sparkling ocean as she walked her dog. In my opinion, the picture captured the carefree spirit of summer, and radiated youthful exuberance. I then cast my eyes on the clothes and instantly fell head over heels in love:

The flowing dress has just the right amount of volume to allow it to billow in the sea breeze, making for an ideal summer silhouette, while the jumper gives what should be a perfectly groomed outfit a bit of irony, representing the young don't -take-yourself-too-seriously attitude of 2010.  I adore the soft muted palette, and am currently wishing myself back to those heady summer evenings....
