Roving Reporter . . . Glasto Chic


Ever since Kate Moss rocked up to the hottest festival of the season in sparkles and hot-pants, every A-lister in town has made sure to turn heads with their fashion looks rather than cleanliness.
This year was no exception, with every high street store getting in on doing fabulous wellies for the squelchy season, there were some seriously hot buys out there! But most importantly, Hunter wellies (the celeb fav) was this year challenged by none other that Jimmy Choo!
More famous for their strappy, heels (most unsuitable festival gear), the famous shoe brand created a sleek, yet well branded, black, crocodile style wellington boot! 
These £250 beauties were spotted on everyone from Naomi Campbell to Jo Whiley and Pixie G!

What do you think about them?

NB: How great does Sarah Brown look! Love the 50's style shirt dress on her, so flattering and the cute, red, polka dot umbrella, Fashion Fabulous!

Stay tuned for exclusives from our Bleu Flats about Glasto - fab behind the scenes pics and stories, guaranteed!

Roving Reporter . . . 24London


Last night, The Fash-Pack and friends headed to the opening of new Kingly Street club, 24London. This was teamed with a birthday party for stylist extraordinaire, Nick Ede's birthday party, which only meant one thing . . . Disco, free drink and C-list celebrities. 
We arrived moments after Nick himself (having almost wondered into the crowd outside Tantra, by mistake) and had to hold up as an ex-tv, Footballer's Wives actress, pouted for the paps. Pretending to find it annoying, while oh so clearly loving it, even though no one was quite sure of who she was. 
When inside we headed to the bar to sip passion fruit cocktails in martini glasses and little glass teacups filled with another equally sweet and delicious cocktail. 
Canapes were floating round, though we all declined, after all, this is fashion, no one is supposed to be seen eating. We surveyed the room and checked out the other guests. 
The bar staff had the best uniform, all black, white braces and white framed, geek glasses, while the hostess on the floor had beautifully corseted black dresses on. 

The music flipped between current hits and outrageously disco numbers. But it was still far too early for the fashionista's to dance! 
We scanned for some familiar faces and saw a dashingly good looking, 'Ned, from Neighbours', 'Ste from Hollyoaks', who behaved like an unfriendly smarmy chap all night, he did happily chat away to the now (thanks to Nick), stylish Samanda, twins of Big Brother fame, even taking their number and whispering into their ears!
We then turned our attentions to the occasional real life WAG (some chick called Lizzie) and Dancing on Ice and Strictly stars all had their dancing shoes on too, with Donald McIntyre, Camilla Dellerup and a couple of the others, but their names escape me!

Most exciting though was the host of Big Brother rejects. Aisleyne, who had had a strong improvement in her looks was out in a backless, bottomless number, and poor Nikki Grahame looked positively starved, though she was over the moon when Flats asked for her picture with her. 
As the drinks flowed, the dance moves began and Heels (who was actually in flats tonight) and Bleu Flats and myself gave it our best shot to throw some shapes on the dance floor. Bleu Flats, got mistaken for Pixie Geldof by several people, including the irate bar woman, who told her 'I don't care if you are Pixie, you have to wait your turn', the toilet attendant who asked for her autograph, and the girl with the big bow in her hair, who photographed Flats dancing and then stared at her constantly! Oh and Nick Ede, also looked chuffed that 'Pixie' had come to his party (even though he and Flats do know each other!)

Ahhhh, well off to sleep! xx

Roving Reporter: PPQ

Talk about close quarters. Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker hosted the PPQ show in Burlington Arcade, and between paparazzi clogging the aisle trying to get shots of Nicola Roberts (in harlequin-print Moschino) and Alexa Chung, and Hilary Alexander and Colin McDowell rushing through a space where one crossed ankle could mean you get tripped, it was a miracle only one person was carried out with an injured leg.

That aside, the show had the typical quirk that will keep the brand popular with offbeat musicians, models/ever-present socialites (talking to you, Chung!) and London eccentrics. Daisy Lowe started the show with a colour-blocked, long-sleeved mini dress, and Pixie Geldof stomped out in red hot pants and a matching ruffled turtleneck. As expected, brand friend Alice Dellal also put in an appearance.

The 'Proletariat Chic' collection moved everywhere from metallic-stripe jumper sets to full-length jersey 'I Love Peas' dresses to Victorian-influenced, lace-collared minis, but my favourite look was a yellow-checked wool wrap coat worn with high-waisted, cornflower-blue jeans and a vintage-look tee.

This, plus an after-party at Cafe de Paris and a bottle of sherry to take home put me in a good mood for the cab ride to my flat. Or maybe it was the chili and passion fruit shots and the abundance of cocktails. Either way.

News: Elle Style Awards

Last night was the Elle Annual Style Awards. Here at Fash Pack, we are definitely Elle girls, so we were excited to see what the other Elle girls of the world chose to wear to the ultimate fashion awards of the year.

So feast your eye on these, fashionstas. Did they get it right . . . or oh-so-wrong?

Sienna Miller, style icon, one half of Twenty8Twelve and Boho babe. Has she hit the nail on the head in this feathery combo, or has she floated off into the fashion abyss?

I love Thandie Newton in these colours. Very Erdem. Tres exotic! Great neckline on her, too.
Give this lady a style award, pronto!

For some reason, Pixie Geldof is a trendsetter! One word for you, young lady . . . BRA.
However tiny they are, give them some support!

Louise looks fabulous Keeping it chic in a little black dress, she is one true yummy mummy!

Laura Bailey: quirky, effortlessly cool. We love this colour combination, as the bag adds an unusual twist.

Now that Jade Jagger's daughters are hitting the scene, Jade has come over all sophisticated on us. Loving it, girl!

Natalie, WHY!? Did no one tell her it was the Elle Style Awards?! If anyone can find a redeeming point on this look, please post below!

Rosie Huntington-Whitley, the 'new Kate Moss'. I adore this frock on her. She looks gorgeous and totally ethereal! Total style crush.


Cute couple alert! How sweet are Dave Berry (so dapper) and my favourite Sugababe (SB), Heidi! Normally I spend a good period of time slating the SB's style, but here I love Heidi's dress. A great twist on the LBD. Great shape, too.

Post-party shenanigans: Pixie and Alexa are all-white, while those freakishly identical designers Viktor & Rolf pose with a cheeky Anna Friel.

I wonder what the PM said when his Mrs came down the stairs? Sarah looks gorgeous and sophisticated here. It can't be easy mixing fashion and politics. Sarah Brown turned up in a body-con LBD and blood-red heels. This first lady means business. She gets a lot of schtick from the fashion brigade, but I think she hits a fair balance. After all, in these credit-crunch times who wants to see a dolled up Bruni?

The Queen of Elle herself (Lorraine Candy): You cant fault a fashionista like that, can you!

Edith Bowman, keeping it rock-chick and on-trend in this tribal tunic. Check out the super cool shoes.

Anna Friel. This quirky look is gothic and vampy. Love the colour combination, and these sheer black and nudes are bang on trend. Partial to the oversized clutch.

That Henry Holland has A LOT to answer for! Not content with MIA at the Grammys shaking her thing in a barely there frock, we now have Alice Dellal letting it all hang out in another one of Henry's cheeky, strategically paneled pieces.


Our own Alexandra Burke is keeping it nautical in this cute little frock. It's a bit casual for my liking. If I were to attend the Elle Style Awards, personally I would make a bit more of an effort!
So Alexandra, but we love you in the body-con stuff. If you got it, show it off!

Alexa Chung. Sometimes there are no words. Miss Chung is wearing the cutest T-bar shoes, and the thigh-skimming LBD is a surefire winner. Well done, Alexa!

Christopher Kane wins designer of the year. Yay! The Brits do it better after all . . .
