Vogue's Fashion Night Out in London

The Fashion Night Out hosted by Vogue always creates a fashion frenzy in the hottest capitals in Europe! London was no exception as all London's fashion finest turned up in their finery looking fabulous! There was music, food and plenty of cocktails to get the party started!

Kurt Geiger created a buzz with customised studding on all garments.

The live DJ kept spinning the tracks and drinks where flowing. The amazing party atmosphere also included a free manicure with every purchase over £50 AND 20% off all purchases!

These guys really know how to throw a party!

Hotel Chocolat was a tasty little treat!

Rich, creamy, hot chocolate and delectable dark and milk chocolate truffles that linger on your pallet. I found myself debating whether I’d be shunned if I asked for seconds.

These tasty little treats could kick off my Christmas weight gain 4 months early!

Who cares, it’s all in the name of chocolate.  

Louis Vuitton has collaborated with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. A life like replica of Yayoi stood in the window of the New Bond Street store. The figure was so life like we were almost certain she moved!

'Cover yourself in dots' best describes the colaboration as it is indeed VERY dotty!

From the accessories to the clothes everything in Yayoi's collection is bright and covered in dots; it is worth a visit to the store to see for yourselves!

Joe & Seph's delicious popcorn treats were a juxtaposition of flavours had us going back again and again!

Our favourite was the caramel and salt... I know what you're thinking! But no, it was a perfect mix of sweet and savoury! Try them for yourselves!

It was a fun filled evening and we are looking forward to what the treats will have in store for us next year!

 

Nica’s Olympic Splash!

Nica was full of excitement heading to the visually stunning Aquatics Centre for the Olympic Games. The centre holds two 50m swimming pools and a 25m diving pool. The Aquatics centre was electric as we waited to see Micheal Phelps the human fish prepare to win more gold medals to add to his already very shiny Olympic trophy cabinet, which already hosted an astounding 18 gold medals!

Michael Phelps did not disappoint, he flew through the water with such amazing power and grace and gaining another four Gold medals for Team USA. These gold medals were won in the 4 x200m freestyle, the 200m individual medley, the 100m butterfly and 4 x100m medley relay.

But he didn’t stop there! He also took home another two silver medals. Making his Olympic total an amazing 22 medals!

So with all of the excitement about the games the other main question is, what should you wear to an Olympic event? A pair of super cute and comfy flat shoes are essential as queing, standing and most probably jumping will be involved throughout the day. Then of course you need a bag which will be big enough for your phone, camera, nibbles and a bottle of water.

Nica’s Olympic bag must have was the very pretty ‘Sophie’ across body bag. This bag is surprising as it appears small, but you can fit everything you need into it! The beautiful quilting design is classic allowing you to look smart and casual in skinny jeans and flats. The ‘Sophie’ across body has a zip top and inside zip pocket, so when you are jumping up and down cheering on the athletes, your belongings are safe and best of all with an across body your arms are free to clap and wave!

Nica London AW12

This season Nica introduces a flourish of fabrics & textures with elegant label Nica London. Nica London prides itself on creating glamourous and chic looks with strong colour palettes, while using key shapes and finishes with gorgeous detailing. The beautiful faux leather and fabric provides a perfect balance between style and affordability making this a desirable label for fashion savvy females!

The 'Cannes' range combines sophistication and elegance using classic framing and clasps for the large shoulder and small cross body styles. British racing green and classic camel patent are key colours within this range. Exquisite tapestry craftsmanship draws upon statement botanical prints keeping a twist of Nica's signature playful style.

A collection of sublime rounded totes in crimson red felts, flap over cross body in a mixture of quilted faux leathers and soft felts and large flap over quilted clutch make the 'Sophie' range. A base colour palette of dark choc and black hues rest behind post box reds and taupes.

The 'Lana' range is a stunning new take on the classic satchel. 'Lana' has taken a rounded saddle shape and woven miniature flat, metallic bows in rows through the faux leather creating texture. A traditional colour palette of dark taupe, cream and black allows for the dusted metallic bows to shine. Playful tassels have been added to the zip pulls and delicate metal work detailing creates a beautiful bow from twisted rope effect which has been added to depict the essence of Nica London.

Behind the scenes at Nica Play's Video day out!

Behind the scenes at Nica Play's video shoot. We took a stroll with our bike (and film crew) into Chiswick high street and came across a beautiful quaint book store. No.183 was the perfect back drop to shoot our Nica Play video.
Inside the book store was like stepping into another world...

A life time's worth of reading was piled high in this little book store. It was though we had stepped into a shop along Diagon Alley, expecting to see Harry Potter and friend's buying spell books and wands...

Back outside Nica was creating her own fantasy land with Nica Play's new collection. A sense of charm and relaxed sunny days endulging in picnics in the park, a ride on your bike and loosing yourself in a book.

It is important to get the right lighting for both video and photography, to highlight features and capture the essence of the story.

The team checking the play back on the hand held camera.

Walking away into the distance captures the last scene of the day...

Our gorgeous model Catherine showing off Nica Play's across body satchel in choc print and the large shoulder bag in the pretty pink print.

The print is made up of leaf and bird images all designed by different shaded dots! Each Nica Play bag is coated allowing the bags to be washed and wiped easily, perfect for pincnics in the park, muddy festivals and they have no fear of children's sticky fingers!

Stay tuned for the video coming soon!
