London Fashion Night - Fri 12.9.14

Once again, we,  the lovers of dressing up, headed to Mayfair, London for a

CATWALK 

evening to mark the beginning of 

LONDON FASHION WEEK.

Our hostess, SCARLETT, organized the whole thing as a showcase for 

UP AND COMING DESIGNERS.

Kerri and Ann looked gorgeous. 

Yes, that really is Kerrine - amazing!!

Fiona Disegni founder of 'Rentez-Vous' held Gerry in conversation for quite a while: she was convinced he was a fashion designer as he had marched down the catwalk with Ann and me on either arm.

WE KNOW HOW TO ENJOY OURSELVES!

We watched a lot of models strutting about, just like last time.

Once all the strutting was over, we headed down to the 'Pop Up Shop' where the clothing was available at knock down prices (less than 200 quid each).

Lucie Strong, make-up artist, kicked off the dressing up. This outfit looked fantastic on her, don't you think?

: )

We had to have a few shots of our merry group as we were all (mostly) wearing RED.

We couldn't get Lucie out of that dress.

The RED BRIGADE.

Kerri and I were like sisters separated at birth - or at the counter in a dress shop.

Strangely, we hadn't discussed our clothes this time, and yet we turn up with very similar dresses.

Our gorgeous hostess, Scarlett, and our mutual, scrumptious friend, Fanta.

At last we prize Lucie out of the red outfit and Kerri leaps into it like a rat up a drainpipe. Scarlett is on-hand to fondle Kerri's bum. 

Oh Scarlett, you're a very naughty lady.

: )

With Kerri trying on everything that takes her fancy, Scarlett and Fanta crash out on the floor with a glass of bubbly each.

Everyone was back on their feet for this little number.

Not Kerri!

THE DRESS!!

Kerri in a very black number with Scarlett.

Sado-masochistic kit.

Don't even get me started on the detail of the crotch on those trousers.

Quite frankly, I was shocked.

Adrian seemed pleased with the look.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

Fashionista Night - 27-28.6.14

On Friday night 3 of us headed to London.

We had been invited to the Westbury Hotel, just along from Vivien Westwoods' shop, for a catwalk show.

It's a pretty swanky venue where only those on the list got in.

It's lucky we had made an effort!

As you can see, I scrubbed up well for an ageing gardener 

: )

MeWally and Gerry looked very suave in their Sunday Best.

Unaccustomed as we were to being smart in a smart place, we took far too many pictures of each other - 

this one's by Fanta. 

Pro photographers practised their angles and light reading choices before the main event.

The lovely Fanta  spent the evening with us.

Scarlet, our genial, genius, hostess and event organiser, came over to say hello,

and to make Gerrys evening.

She's a bit of a minx that girl!

The models did their thing.

Not quite my style.

but exciting to watch.

I could see me in that red top though....

luckily for the rest of humanity, when Fanta and I went to look through the sale items, it seemed to have sold .

After the show we sat around chatting, 

and ordering very expensive drinks, before heading to Brighton for the night.

Next morning it was brekky al fresco at Kerri's place.

Followed by a stroll though The Lanes and the town centre, where you see the strangest things.

(Centenary of the outbreak of WW1 today)

And so to the beach.

Where ther's something to catch even the most jaded,

morning after the night before eye.

Like a chippery.

and that ubiquitous British beach duo, the deck chair and peir.

Nice to see this chap has dressed for the seaside in his matelot gear with matching pet dog.

Brighton's the only place I know that plants up its' beach.

The burnt out pier is a jarring backdrop to a seascape.

No sand at this end of Brighton, tho it is pretty.

On the way back to Kerri's we pass through the park and see the seagulls rinse off in the fountain.

And so to supper, laid out on my new table cloth. 

Retro is the new
