ELLE

Today was a day of 'desk visits' if you aren't familiar with this term its where the PR companies visit magazines with next seasons merchandise so they publications can get a feel for what the designers will be doing next season.
So today we had two 'desk visits' and an appointment with On|Off (they run the more conceptual shows at LFW). First of all the deputy fashion editor at POP FORGOT SHE HAD TO MEET US!
To be fair i was a bit disappointed with this but she seemed to be really sincere with her apology and she promised to visit the showroom next week. This is good for me as it means i don't have to carry bags of clothes across London.

Next we went over to Machine A and Beyond the Valley, Beyond the Valley was having a sample sale. You can guess what happened next. Tbf i bought one thing and its a sick little tee i am going to very much enjoy wearing!
So yes, Miss XXX and i were having a natter with Kirsten in BTV when On|Off called and informed Miss XXX that we would have to re-arrange as the person we were meeting was sick. At this point all i could think was FAIL.

But the sun was shining and we had 3 hours to spare so we went over to that pub on the corner of Carnaby Street, the one near Liberty. We had a few drinks then moved onto Marble Arch and grabbed a salad at this cute little italian while we waited for our ELLE appointment. Basically I LOVE ELLE. I knew this before i went in, but the people i met re-affirmed this! The 3 girls we met were all so lovely, i know this wont be the case with everyone i meet in "the industry" but today was one of those days when you realise there are nice people in the fashion industry.

So apart from a few hiccups at the start of the day, i would say today was a good day!
Oh yeh sorry there is no outfit post today, i overslept. my bad!
PEACE
