Fashion Night Out

For the past few years now we have attended Vogue's Fashion Night Out that they hold every September in Big Cities all over the world.
We first went back in 2009 where we watched a live Photo Shoot in Chanel with Daisy Lowe and Erin O'Connor, and have been going every year since.

This year was even better, we headed towards watch maker's Omega first, where the Champagne was flowing and some special Coffee Martini's whilst we listened to the AMAZING violinist and singer Marques Toliver.

Walking down Bond Street where the most action was taking place, we got caught up in the paparazzi scuffle trying to get their snap of Gwyneth Paltrow who was visiting Coach and looking stunning in black with her perfect blonde hair. 

Next stop - Christian Louboutin where the lovely girls from Lash Bar  were treating guests to lash extensions, with Grey Goose cocktails being handed out, as well as amazing mini trifles and pastry berry pop tarts. There was more than a few merry people dancing to the brilliant DJ in the beautiful surroundings of shoes. Guests were also treated to some lovely Louboutin goody bags... What more can a girl want from a night out.

Putting Essex on the Fashion Map

Although I am an Essex girl myself I have always been one of those people who when on holiday tell people I am from London 'Just outside, more East London'. Being just a short train ride away I have always preferred to spend time in London be it shopping or just hanging out.

I hate acrylic nails, hair extensions and fake boobs, wear minimal make-up, and despise that whole WAG look. You're more likely to see me in my DM's or Nike high tops than heels.
I remember watching the first episode of TOWIE and cringing and being more embarrassed than ever. Mean while it seemed that the rest of the nation were embracing it, and were maybe even a little bit jel of us Essex folk.

However, since I have started working at Ella Tino, my perceptions have started to change, we recently became official sponsors of Essex Fashion Week and last Friday held at a Catwalk show at Faces in Gants Hill and it was so much fun.

I am lucky in that I finally got a job loving what I do, right now I am covering everything from PR, to styling shoots and shows, having the freedom to choose the music I want for the catwalks, blogging, having a say in what we buy and put on the website to menial tasks such as uploading content on the site.
Meeting and working alongside founders of EFW who also featured on TOWIE Simon and Adam Ryan has been great (and they are all really nice people too).
So next time I am asked 'Where are you from?' I will reply proudly 'Essex'. Amy Childs is in Vogue don't you know!
