This week is London Fashion week, so today we went for brunch at Plan 9, where we spotted Bill Nighy (from Love Actually & The Boat That Rocked), and then headed to Somerset House for the exhibition.

Tom described the exhibition as a “degree show with money”. We had a good look around at the designers work and bagged a bunch of swag. Oxfam are working on an intersted DIY project and they sounded keen to get CO+K involved with it. Mrs Jones (who’s best known for making Kylie’s white hooded outfit) had made an amazing dress out of a pair of curtains and is running DIY workshops for revamping your wardrobe. They gave me a really cute tote with a card wallet, carrot plant seeds, chocolates and other stuff.

Everyone kept asking to take photos of Tom in his Joey D jacket and he got really scared.

The catwalk was a bit crazier than we had imagined, with a massive wall of photographers at one end. I loved the sound of the collective shutters.

We went to see the Ashish show, which had lots os sparkly sequined outfits, including a very cute icecream cone dress.

In other news, we’d been on the hunt for Brew Dog beers for a while and to our amazements, we found them in our local Sainsburys. We need to do something with them for Snippets.

We were also sent Starbucks coffee vouchers, so yesterday we had a picnic with gigantic coffees, sushi and Hummingbird cake in Hyde Park.

I better get some sleep now, as we’re up early for more fashion week stuff, open doors day, gin cocktails that I won and a fashion party tomorrow.
