LOOK show SS11 Part 1

On Friday my boyfriend and I made our way down to London for the Look show SS11! It was at Victoria House, London. We arrived at Bloomsbury square and looked around to see where it was. I immediately spotted a long line of fashionistas and I knew it was there. I also spotted Lily and Victoria in the line ahead of us but was too shy to say hello. *foolish* I also spotted Sara and Kavita. My boyfriend was very conscious of being one of a very small minority of men! I said to him 'don't worry, all the photographers are men' and of course they were. There were some awesome drool-worthy cameras with mega lenses.

As we go in, we hang our coats and bags in the cloakroom and are handed canapes and champagne by the waiters. All the food and drink was provided by M&S and from my boyfriend's report they were all lovely! They served shellfish, mini sausages and mini spring rolls.



After we had had our welcome champagne, we had some fun with photos in the New Look photobooth. The staff held out some accessories and I took the hat and Matt some sunglasses. We also entered the Look Good Feel Better raffle. Look Good Feel better is a charity organization that holds skincare consultations for women with cancer.

Apologises for looking like I'm about to stab someone! I actually had an amazing time, despite perhaps not looking it. I'd like to reassure everyone that this is not my 'happy face'! The reception also had a quite fun chocolate fountain. We had our picture taken with Marina from Marina and the Diamonds by the fountain and she asked my boyfriend if she had chocolate on her face! My boyfriend, being the gentleman he is, told her she had it on her chin. Sorry Marina! (and he's a bigger fanboy of hers than I am) :P





Marina being interviewed by the Paparazzi. She told them her mouse jumper dress was made by a friend, her lipstick was Barry M and her bag was Vivienne Westwood.



You can also see behind us a billboard of Taylor Momsen for Parlez-moi d’Amour (Speak to me of Love) by John Galliano perfume. There were samples of it in the Look goody bag (some exciting news related to that coming soon!) and it smelt gorgeous. I'll definitely be buying it.




Other celebrities that we saw were Shane Ward and Lucie Jones from the XFactor, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Olivia Palermo! She wasn't announced until the very last minute and everyone got really excited on twitter. She looked very beautiful in a H&M dress.







After the show, Sunday Girl sang, supported by the girl band Wonderland. I'd never heard of them before, but they sang well. Sunday girl has such amazing eyes! Did anyone else think that?

After the show most of the celebrities disappeared and the rest of us celebrated with some amazing cocktails made on demand! I saw mojitos, rose and white wine, but our cocktail (we just had one between us, one of us had to drive home!) was fresh mint leaves, champagne, gin, lemonade and an unmarked bottle of something alchoholic! To be honest, if you'd wanted to get drunk, it would have been very easy! This is something I'm not sure is a good thing. I heard that they did give soft drinks on request, but I felt like soft drinks should have been circulated as well as alchohol- if I had brought my mum, as a teetotaller, she would have initially thought she'd been offered nothing to drink...just a thought. I don't see why alchohol is necessary- if you need it to have fun, that's a definite bad warning sign. Anyway, moving on...

You can check out more photos, and videos of Marina, Sunday Girl and the show itself on the Look microsite and their facebook here.

That's it for now! In my next post I'll be reporting on the fashions on the catwalk and Alexis Jordan's performance, and posting photos. I'll also show what we received in the Look goody bags and I have a little surprise for you guys in the form of my first giveaway! :)
