2 VANCE JOY – MESS IS MINE

The strum of the acoustic guitar does feel a bit summery now but not prepared to give it up just because the days are getting shorter and colder. Love the lyrics.

SUPER PUMPED

You know something's a good buy when you immediately want to buy another one exactly the same. I don't know why it has taken me quite so long to get round to buying a pair of these, but now I have I'm never taking them off. In fact they've already been for an unplanned whirl around the newly-opened Ramusake last night (the old Brompton Club), courtesy of the awesome team at The Yacht Week, and still look as good as new. 

Quick question: is it pronounced SUperga, Su-puuur-ga or, my mum's personal choice, Supergay?

VOGUE'S FNO

I love Vogue's Fashion's Night Out. You never know where you're going to end up or who you're going to bump into. On previous years I've found myself in Juicy Couture with Razorlight's Johnny Borrell, getting a bright orange manicure in Smythson and dancing the night away at a Labrinth gig in Armani.

This year we visited Hugo Boss where Mr Hudson was on the decks, sipped raspberry and gingerbeer cocktails in Burberry (new favourite drink) catching up with old Tatler friends and had a riot in the barbie-pink Juicy Couture photobooth (Olly was the only boy within a 20-metre radius of it, but he didn't take much persuading after digging through their prop box and finding an Anna Wintour wig and sunglasses). 

We also swung by J.Crew and Topshop (where Amber Le Bon was the guest DJ), picked up goodies from the Elemis van on South Molton Street, sunk champagne and lusted after the hats in Aspinal – and left with an owl-shaped helium balloon – and visited friend and fashion blogger Lucy Williams (fashionmennow.co.uk) who was hosting the event in Aldo.

I'm wearing a Kate Moss for Topshop fur gilet, grey top from Bella Lux, shorter chain from Katie Rowland, longer chain from VickiSarge, feather earring from Urban Outfitters and a label-less hat that I picked up from a sample sale when I was working at Tatler.

CUFF LOVE

Before going to Fiona Barratt-Campbell's party to celebrate the launch of her new uber cool urban design studio this week, I popped in to see the lovely team at VickiSarge who'd kindly offered to lend me something to wear for the evening. After the best part of an hour of trying on various cuff combinations, rings and earrings, I settled on the above Burma earcuff and the Burma gold wrist cuff - a truly unbeatable combo which I have since fallen hard for and am reluctant to return. 

My spiky diamond encrusted earcuff was a talking point throughout the night, as we feasted on fish dogs – courtesy of Hix – served out of a fish and chips van and enjoyed a teaser of the new FBC interiors collection.
