She Means Business fashion event

The spenders are often forgotten when it comes to fashion. Because after all fashion loves fashion and the continued love affair with itself seemingly makes for a more interesting read compared to hold the page a barrister might need help with a court suit or 'I'm an office girl who loves a bit of bling'. In reality it is all of us who buy clothes whether on the high street, or from Net-A-Porter or Bond St. And last Thursday evening in Canary Wharf I walked against the tide of ants leaving their work to HSBC Tower. Fellow stylists, Isobel Kershaw (NHJ Style), Claire Wacey and fashion assistant Tara Gadre were on hand to hold my pink fizzy drink whilst I used Claire's camera to snap the gathered throng. Claire has all the fashion show pics on her blog plus we bagged a goodie bag from the night to giveaway so after checking out these pics hot foot it to her blog to snag a prize

Both HSBC and She were attempting to give working women some fashion and fun as a reward for their hard work and demonstrating their support to business women. I really enjoyed meeting women who wanted to be inspired by high street fashion to add some zing to their wardrobes. It was a relaxed, unhurried fashion affair and even I got wowed by some individual pieces (I'm always so hard to please).

Laura Kate Scott from Leeds was as amazing as Florence of Florence and the Machines (note to self get Mr MDS to book Somerset House gig asap). More importantly she is a hat maker!

Take a peek at this beauty. The shape and stitching were fabulous and as she's just starting out you can check out Laura Kate's website here www.laurakatescott.co.uk


I loved these Kurt Geiger studded brogues I spotted on my mingling mission

This months (April) cover of She. It was a large blow up and for some reason I had a childish urge to draw a moustache on Angelina

    Looks great, and so true that it's hard to try and combine fashion and work without going too far one way or other!

    PS Am chuckling to myself about moustaching Angelina

    Has Claire Irvine worked her magic on SHE yet? Did you look at the mag? Curious to see how she will change it...
