I meet the lovely Lisa from Gracie Chain at a Sister Snog Christmas party last week. She had a stunning sparkly bag from Butler and Wilson as well as these Marilyn Munroe inspired jewellery organisers that had all the ladies oohing and aahing! Gracie Chain have a range of gorgeous girly gifts for Christmas, well worth taking a peek.

I just returned from an MBAWorld function at the Strand Palace where Susie Willis of Plum Baby Superfoods was presenting about the trails and tribulations of launching a new business. Susie is such a beautiful and enchanting woman, not to mention smart and successful! She's also very stylist and was wearing this Dianne von Furstenberg dress. I couldn't stop coveting the dress, so I just had to buy one myself. Can't wait to wear it to a swanky lunch on Tuesday! I know I'm supposed to support British, but can you forgive me this once?
I attended the IQONS.com launch at the Slaughtered Lamb in London. IQONS is a new on-line fashion community that aims to have the same impact on fashion as MySpace had on music. The ambition is to “set fashion free” from the existing fashion system which has too many ‘gate-keepers’ with high concentrations of power. Instead, we want to promote talent and work based only on merit and integrity.

In 1845, Hans Christian Andersen wrote ‘The Red Shoes’, a grim fairytale telling the story of a young girl who wore red shoes to church. The girl, Karen, could not stop obsessing over her bright and beautiful footwear and forgot her psalms. An angel of God appeared and condemned the girl to wear the shoes for eternity, and to never stop dancing in them until it killed her. Karen’s only redeemer was an executioner who sliced off her feet at the ankles, with an axe. 
You buy locally grown organic produce faithfully and are happy to spend the extra ££, but what about that £2 Primark top you're wearing? Have you stopped to think about the airmiles of those clothes and who produced them and the raw materials?
Scarlett Johansson dazzled on the red carpet at London premier of The Prestige in a stunning Amanda Wakeley diamond encrusted gown and pink hair.
British style has always been a strong representation of what us Brits do best – diversity, rebellion and creativity. Ever since Vivienne Westwood, the Queen of Punk, burst on the scene 30 years ago, it is clear us Britons do style which cannot be beaten. Our willingness to disrupt, subvert a tradition of which we are proud whilst letting rules be broken is what put us on the map and enabled fellow eccentrics and fresh talents to follow suit and continue to reign supreme.
