THE STYLE LIST February 2013

Welcome to this weeks Style List


IN STYLE...........OR RUN A MILE
In style
Well well my little Style bunnies London Fashion week is once again upon us more about that later. First of all let me inform you of my little style pockets in my week.

Escorted my friend Lady Elizabeth for lunch at The Wyndham Hotel, Chelsea Harbour followed by a Marilyn Monroe Exhibition at The Chelsea Design Centre. A great and stylish way to spend an afternoon. It really did not feel like London at all more like St Tropez. This little oasis is literally 5 Mins of the bustling Kings Road. The Hotel was serene and after a pre lunch cocktail on the Bar Verandah (it was a beautiful winters day!) went for lunch. The staff were attentive and the food was simply amazing . After a healthy lunch of grilled Salmon on a bed of Puy lentils we were enjoying the views so much we stayed on for dessert. Something Jojo never does ! Chocolate fondant with salted caramel ice cream. Stop it girlzz there is nothing stylish about dribbling(unless of course you are David Beckham ).


We then decided to walk off our dessert around the Design Centre.
The Marilyn Monroe Photographic Exhibition had come to town. Beautiful iconic photographs chronicling her life. The prints were all for Sale. We then retreated to The Design Club for champagne where appropriately 'Some Like it Hot' was playing. I forgot how good that Film was ! Be quick this exhibition closes on 1st March 2013.Imperial Wharf station right outside


Another great London Restaurant to make this weeks STYLE-LIST Galvin at Windows Park Lane. A perrenial favourite of mine I just forgot how good it was. I was lured in by a special offer (ok,ok I need to save too) £25 for 2 courses with a glass of champagne and coffee. The offer lasts only until end of February.

The setting unbelievable views across London for miles. Situated right at the top of The Hilton Park Lane. Plenty of window seats. if you haven't been here put it on your list you won't be sorry great for a special occasion.


Style List Film
I was so fed up off all those miserable films released lately went to see 'I GIVE IT A YEAR'  I knew it would be light hearted and fun but was pleasantly surprised how well written it was yes hilarious but moving too. It was a classy piece reminding me of Four Weddings and Love Actually Films.Son of Spall was brilliant in it I am a big fan anyway. Did not look at my watch once and.... was actually smiling when we came out !  Do go and see you will be pleased you did.





RUN A MILE..........
Ok finally LFW A/W13 I know you were waiting for this to be featured higher up in my blog but remember I am a STYLE blogger not a Fashion blogger. Unfortunately even though the two shows i have seen today had not a shred of style in them. I am sure you will find other FASHION bloggers brown (brown is the new grey) nosing designers but I will tell you how it is.
John Rocha
JOHN ROCHA purrrrrleeeez there was not one item in your collection that did not make a woman look ugly. Nothing to enhance the beauty of a womens body. Deeply depressing colours (apart from the fruit gum green). Shapeless ,dull, monotonous the same outfit again and again. John Rocha No! straight to the bottom of the class. I will not even put my pictorials on this site tin does not deserve airtime. So here is a lovely picture of John not nearly as depressed as me just leaving his show.

Sister By Sibling
Brace yourself true stylistas this earlier show was even worse. Ridiculously ugly knitwear. Horrendous. Sister By Sibling. It might (??) be fashion but it sure aint style sister !!!It has no place in our style file. Some people may buy into this look but stick with me style sisters and I will ensure you do not.

LONDON Fashion Week 56 shows over 5 days . There will be hopefully a designer that has true style at his fingertips yes talking to you TOM FORD tune in next week and we will sort through the dross together. WORD of Warning PLEASE START YOUR SHOWS ON TIME if London Theatres were this undisciplined we would not have a Theatreland. If you don't respect your audience then we won't respect you. If you are left queueing outside in the rain I urge you to walk away go to another show.
