Frost French New Soho Store Opening



Sadie Frost and Jemima French have brought their special brand of ultra-feminine fashion to the streets of Soho. The new boutique is a vision in pink and showcases the design duo's popular threads to perfection. Framed pen and ink illustrations adorn the walls and the changing rooms are a fuchsia dream. The party was so packed with glitterati that it was hard to get a proper feeling for the new collection but I will certainly go back to check it out properly. Guests included JLS and James Brown (Kate Moss's famous hairdresser).

Soho Store, 22 Noel Street London W1F 8GS, 020 7494 1701, www.frostfrench.com

A very delicious cocktail (pink, of course!) On my nails, I am wearing the new ASOS Paint in 'Gwen,' a collaboration with Ciaté which you can buy at www.asos.co.uk. I left the moon of my nail bed polish free like Dita Von Teese does

I visited the http://www.my-wardrobe.com/ HQ and was lucky enough to have a sneak preview of their gorgeous SS10 collections from Mulberry bags to lovely designer dresses, they have everything a girl could possibly need for next summer. Who cares what the weather does? With stock like this I will be by my computer online shopping come rain or shine!

More (good) pictures to follow - these were just quick snaps.





I loved this Manoush dress (the colour was much brighter in real life)



A great dress by Kirsty Doyle


A virgin lace creation by Shakuhachi



An assortment of swimwear by D&G and Heidi Klein amongst others





Kasabian, Wembley Arena

Last night, Kasabian played hits past (L.S.F, Clubfoot) and present (Fire, Underdog) from their hit album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum - an album so great that it had the NME boys fighting over who would be lucky enough to review it. I saw Kasabian at the Forum in Kentish Town not long ago and I often find such an intimate setting unbeatable. This was a different kettle of musical fish all together and a gig I enjoyed enormously.

There were crowd fisticuffs, a guest appearance by the Mighty Boosh's lovable Noel Fielding and the kind of beats that make you more excited than a fat kid faced with an awe-inspiring mountain-load of cake. Long live the boys from Leicester - all together now, naaaa naaa naaaa, na na na na naaaaaaa!

Fisticuffs (the blurs are people fighting)

Opal Nera's Halloween Party



Witches, goblins, naughty nurses and everything in between...and a dead Lady Gaga for good measure. Everyone clearly paid heed to Opal Nera's 'no costume, no entry' warning, then! There was face painting, there were dodgy diagnoses by dangerous doctors and lots and lots of black sambuca shots in various guises. A dark and scary night was enjoyed by all at the Vibe Bar (Brick Lane) venue. Mwah ha ha! The best part? I succeeded in getting home this year - with Northumberland bus shelter safely out of sight.
