...As we made our way into the black and white chequerboard tiled hallway a rainbow neon installation echoed the 'Smile, Laugh, Talk, Drink, Shout, Eat, Kiss' of the chairs - very cool. And up the sweeping staircase to the first floor and the intimate catwalk complete with macaroon shade seating and more exquisite chandeliers and don't get me started about the baby blue walls with white baroque detailing. I want to live in a house like this {one can but dream}. The show soundtrack was provided by a live acoustic performance from Lianne La Havas of 'Forget'. Dressed in pieces from the collection we were about to see - what a lovely surprise! Alexa Chung was FROW wearing a beaut pair of J.W. Anderson paisley print pants, as well as a host of super stylists, editors and bloggers...



...and onto the show, a playful winter pastel palette reigned with a particular leaning towards nude shades, makeup references as print protagonist, patchwork panel lace, a textural fabric mix of rainbow furs, crochet, maxi sequin pailettes and fun liquorice allsort-esque make up prints. Glitter pouts / smiles and bouffant beehives completed the modern fifties feeling models beauty look. For me this is a brand that is so suited to showing in London, with it's kooky, quirky cool - let's hope they are here to stay...

In essence an edible {tasteless & harmless - although E number laden} metallic spray paint that you can use on food. What a GENIUS idea. Gold 'plated' apple anyone?....


Why stop there, how about a gilded turkey on Christmas day, an 'actual' golden goose perhaps? I would so love to see my Dad's face if I managed to pull that one out of the 'oven' on the 25th.


After testing the gold food varnish spray on a Thanksgiving dessert I made {toasted pecan flourless chocolate cake below} I have to say the results are actually pretty amazing and their really is no weird synthetic taste or change in texture etc. Just the rather decadent feeling that you are eating a slice of chocolate flavour gold. So whether it's chrome carrots, silver sausages or a gold plated mince pie for dessert, get creative cooking the Christmas dinner this year and who knows you may even be able to disguise the dreaded brussels sprout.

...Think fruity floral prints (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and butterflies - oh my!) in blue lilac, candy pink and white, boudoir baby doll dresses that could easily work as nighties or day dresses if you like to dress up (rather than down) for bed, printed denim hot pants, white jeans with gold embroidered side seams, bikini's, ballet pumps, strappy sandals and alot more jewelry too - oh and did I mention the perfume?
