Roving Reporter . . . Celeb Spotting

I was back in Shoreditch today (it felt like forever ago since I last went to Brick Lane) and having finished an early morning meeting, I headed to Flats and mines favourite hangout 'Cafe 1001'. In true Flats style, she was late as anything and I head to suffer some poor prats attempt to make conversation. Though not paralytic, he had evidently had more than one and suddenly sat at my table. After explaining that I was not about to leave the cafe with him and indeed, not head off anywhere with him, he proceeded to tell me my eyes were 'cool' several times, before remarking that I even had curly hair - he was a real catch right! I turned on my usual anti man device, which is to stare them out and sit in silence, (freaks guys out) and he eventually moved on, when the pain of deathly silence and me staring at him like he didn't speak English got too much. (Just a life tip for you girls)

Flats turned up and we went for a wonder, where we spotted none other, than Primrose Hill chick (now that's my side of London) 'Keira Knightley' stepping backwards out of 'The Lazy One's' just off Brick Lane, saying she 'didn't want the dress, as it doesn't fit me' (must be too big as surely it could never be too small!) She looked gorgeous, with long, loosely curled locks, big sunglasses and a waisted, black mac, we approve!
She was also with a hot boy, who looked a little bit like Robert Pattinson from Twilight!

Roving Reporter & Flats . . . Just Chilling

(Bleu with her hot new Blue accessory!)
Well today, Bleu and myself had a chill day . . . sorry I mean an official blog meeting. Well the truth is Bleu and I are rubbish at having serious meetings with one another. Mainly because we tend roll off on to tangents and funny stories. We decided to ditch Shoreditch on this occasion and head over to may spiritual home of Camden. Having scoured the vintage shops for brown, ankle boots to fit Bleu's enormous, clown proportioned feet, we finally settled for a drink and chips in the Lock Bar, so we could pretend we were on holiday and wave to passing canal boats!
Whilst in Camden Mollie and I also almost (literally) walked into Kate Moss's boyfried Jamie Hince, see Camden is cool!
Following Camden, we headed to Soho and popped into Nico-D on D'arbly Street to say hey, where Bleu and Nico tried to get me into a wet-look playsuit, seriously I love it, but on me hun? No way. See I feel Nico was being genuine in his belief I could carry it off, where as Bleu was just doing it for pure amusement . . . I declined!

Bleu and myself have big plans for this blog and with an exclusive Kings of Leon interview this weekend and a chat with funny man Matthew Horne still to come, you know that you are tuning in to the hottest blog around!
The colour has changed again and there maybe a bit of deja vu when I re-post the Zane Lowe interview (its to get us linked so we can keep getting bigger and better) but all in all Fash-Pack is developing and you lot are so part of it!

xx

Oh and I forgot! We were having coffee in Kingly Court at the cute cupcake place (sometime much after Camden) and who should sit behind us but Matthew Williamson! I nearly died! I was tres excited, but sadly too shy to go up to him and confess my love! ahhhh another day!

Roving Reporter . . . Shoot Shoot Shoot

Goodness me, it's Bank Holiday Sunday and I have been up since seven! It is now 10pm and I'm just tucking into some dinner having spent the day shooting in Dunganess.
Where, I hear you cry?! Well it's in Kent, on the coast, it's kinda full of stones and a few randomly placed little houses, so totally not London! 
While I reveled in being out in the sticks, gushing at the cute little cottages, the quaint steam train and the general beauty of the peace and quiet, Bleu-Flats was falling into full scale panic mode! Having never been too far out of Shoreditch, my little Flats was actually having an allergic reaction to our surroundings and spent most of the day in the prep B&B room, eyes watering and tissues at the ready!
We were off to shoot a knit campaign, so while the crew froze to death, on the sunny but cold day, the gorgeous models were kitted out in the most lovely cashmere coats, jumpers and skirts! Damn!
The look was New York - London, Prom Grunge. Perfect really, as London has a punk reputation, while the Big Apple is famous for its pretty, prom style.
Featured are some clips from the day! Enjoy! xx

When we saw sheep, that's when we knew we were very far away from a Starbucks!

(Our gorgeous model Ulla, pulling a face! - how cute is she!)

The models rocking the doubles shots in stunning purple! We all loved these wool coats!

(Tom doing some work, everyone now . . . 1 2 3 READY, 1 2 3 READY, 1 2 3 READY!)

(Tom working again, here with Sarah, does he ever stop?! 1 2 3 READY)

(Ulla and the mitten puppet, definitely the most hilarious model I've ever worked with, she had us all in stitches!)

TOM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? . . . Oh, the sun is too strong to see the pics on the camera, RIGHT, UHU, YEAH WE BELIEVE YOU!

Bleu-Flats, rocking her Kenny from South Park impression.

Tim sweetie, it's so not your colour!

Me in the Kenny South-Park hat, with Ulla, girls in pink!

Seen and Overheard: I Can't See Her Hair

Just a few of the quotes overheard at Beach Blanket Babylon's after-party last night:

"A latex mask must get really hot."
"That drag queen with the great legs thinks the music is crap and wants to leave to go get a KFC."
"Is that Alice whatever-her-name-is, the model, over there dancing? I can't see her hair to tell if half of it's missing."
"I just saw the drag version of Jon Bon Jovi."
"Is that guy wearing a g-string? Oh...no, no...and now he's...oh, she's whipping him."

As you can tell, things got a bit out of hand.
