(not quite) tickled pink



To be filed under the 'don't you know who I am': before the Jaeger show, while shooting my future friend Natalie (canned fashion) and her friend/colleague, Lucy, of model me now, (see 'hot pink!'), when I saw this girl, all alone, seeming not to know anyone. Kept trying to get her to raise her head, higher, higher.. her eyes were in such harsh shadow from her hat. I was getting a bit impatient, she was, too.. she had a nice smile, a 'professional' smile, and I didn't get a model vibe from her but asked anyway, because it's always a compliment.



No, I'm not a model, she said. She told me she's a 'presenter'. Oh, shit. I did it again: insulted another celebrity. I do this all the time. So I started telling her about what a clueless old cow I am, I never recognise anyone, and asked if I she'd mind telling me who she worked for. Her smile was getting tighter, her eyes narrower. 'E! Entertainment', she replied, as the temperature dropped a few degrees in the large crowded room. 'Uh, okay, well, thank you for posing for my blog..' Did I give her my card? God knows.



Later, I saw her across from me at the show, along with Erin & some other no doubt important people who I didn't recognise. it got even weirder later, at home, as I thought she had said her name was 'Jen' and I saw that Jennifer Garner had done some presenting for 'E!' (they do look quite similar) and thought, damn, I've pissed off Ben Affleck's wife, but thanks to David of the Nyanzi report, I discovered - when I saw the shot I took - that it is after all, Louise Roe. A presenter. For E! Mystery solved. Whew. Still haven't heard from her, tho.

Still really into that hot pink, btw. Especially on brunettes like myself. We're going with friends to a Phillips de Pury art event tonight - they're always the best - and I'm probably going to wear something hot, and pink.

hot pink!



Before Jaeger, at the reception @ Somerset House, this girl in pink,* and her friend & colleague Lucy, of 'fashion me now', in vintage brown fur & tweeds, were the absolute stars for me, in a room that also housed celebrities.



*(Natalie Hughes, of Canned Fashion, as I've just been informed by the Little Curly Girl: I did think it was Natalie when we chatted but I so often get it wrong, and I didn't have time to write it down -and I don't trust my memory, I've met so many people this week!)



In fact I'd go so far as to say that those two trends: hot pink, and topknots, are two of my favourites of the week.



I love everything about this look: the perky retro sixties shape of that gorgeous soft cashmere looking coat, the way she's paired it with a greyish beigeish chunky jumper with just the right sleeve poking out, her eyeliner & thick lashes & even - can you see? - her griege nails. I wonder if she's got the last bottle of the Chanel 505 Particuliere? It's sold out, girls, but you can still grab it on eBay for a mere £44. Altho, with 8 days to go, that price could rise.

Both these girls, IMHO, have so got the 2010 quirky-yet-worky classic with a twist look down to a T.
