True to form London has once again brought adventure and entertainment to what would otherwise be a typical Wednesday. Yesterday, Vogue's Fashion Night Out hit New York, London and Paris. A display of designer wears and fabulous celebrity. The champagne was flowing and London's Mayfair was buzzing, as the likes of trendy-artsy East-Londoners mingled with high society.

And then there was me. Enjoying myself with some friends, partaking of the champagne, and admiring the clothes and the quality that I would only in some distant life be able to see hanging in my closet. For moments I was inspired, delighting in being so close to so much glamour. It was window shopping made better by the presence of live music, bantering patrons, balloons, champagne and canapes. Inspired styles were to be seen everywhere, in the shops and on the attendees.

(At Moschino, drinking Gin from teacups, naturally.)

Our group of three wandered through the back streets and allies of Mayfair, exploring all the shops, from the big names such as Vivienne Westwood, Moschino, and Stella McCartney, to the pop-up shops of designers such as Georgian Tata Naka (her shop by far served the best drinks!). We ended our night by stopping in for the perfume 'pick n' mix' at Miller Harris, taking home a goodie bag of sample scents.

I suppose we could have stayed out later, found an after party to attend, but Wednesdays are school nights, afterall. And, already by 10pm the champagne was starting to take its effects on me.

All in all, a fabulous night. It was a night to make anyone feel like a celebrity. A night of beautiful people and beautiful creations. I will definitely be back, and perhaps next year I will have saved enough to make a purchase. ;-)

Living in London. Life through a champagne glass.
