The IFB Dress Up! Party at London Fashion Week

in London Fashion Week,Parties

Monday night was the fabulous Independent Fashion Bloggers Dress up party at Last Days of Decadence in Shoreditch.

Despite having to leave a little earlier than I would have liked (yesterday was a trauma of tubes and train journeys!) I had a fantastic time and would like to shout a special thanks to the gorgeous Mademoiselle Robot for organising such a fantastic event.

I’m just waiting for the results of the raffle to be announced so I know if I won anything amazing!

The Cigarette girls, dressed in Vivien of Holloway, dished out sweeties and discount vouchers, and generally gave a feeling of glamour to proceedings

There was also a fantastic space age 60s burlesque routine from Agent Lynch.

Some of the fabulous members of IFB were there. And I met, among others

Reena of Fashion Day Dreams in a gorgeous sculptural white skirt and Jennine of the Coveted and IFB looking stunning in red.

I was wearing a floral strapless dress with a bow detail on the waist, which will be available on Retro Chick from next week! I wore it with black patent hidden platform heels from Faith, a black vintage clutch and a black blazer with sculptural shoulders from the Warehouse sale. Apparently I also teamed it with a stupid grin a lot of the time, but it was so nice to meet people that it was difficult to work mean and moody!

It was such a great chance to meet people and I sincerely hope it becomes a regular London Fashion Week event!

So jealous! I really wanted to come but wasn’t feeling well enough to make it. And I’d picked my outfit, too! I hope it becomes a regular thing: I wish I’d gotten to meet all the fabulous blogger ladies. :)

You look very pretty x

Aw, thank you so much Amy, that’s so nice!

Hopefully it will become a regular event and I’ll get to meet you in September, or next year!
