Nanoblur Launch at The Box, Soho

Last week saw the launch of Nanoblur at The Box in Soho. The cream claims to minimise wrinkles, crows feet and pores to make skin seem instantly younger. Now, I can't claim to give you an informed review as I have yet to try the product (however my mum seems to be enjoying it), but as you can see from the photos, the performers were the highlight of the night rather than the product.

I spent my evening mesmorised by the performers at The Box including an acrobat, pirouetting from a suspended ring, and a gymnast with thighs to rival Beyoncé's. They were both more compelling than the Nanoblur QVC-esque demonstration which launched the event. Unfortunately, it seemed that yet another American brand had misjudged the British market by giving an over-the-top sales pitch.

When Hentsch Man Met With Geek Chic

This week saw the launch of Hentsch Man's debut book on style entitled 'The Chic Geek's Fashion, Grooming and Style Guide for Men'.

The party was held at its store on Newburgh Street which had an impressive turnout. As I turned up, people were spilling out on to the cobbled streets drinking bottles of Peroni. There was a great atmosphere.

Understandably, the party was full of stylish men (and a handful of women) including my friend Bobby (left) and Darren (artist/photographer/designer). We couldn't help but notice Darren's briefcase as we walked in which is so classically beautiful! Apparently, a businessman gave it to him after Darren did some temporary work with him. Note to self: must remember to compliment people carrying beautiful handbags more often...

Havaianas Wellie Launch

Havaianas timed its launch of the wellie perfectly to coincide with the start of the festival season! I had the pleasure of attending its festival themed launch event at Selfridges.

I've always been a big fan of Havaianas', they have got me through my student days and several travelling trips. However, outside of the beach I tend not to wear my flip flops anymore, but I'm much more inclined to buy a pair of the brightly coloured wellies.

The night featured all of my summer favourites from hay bales and grass flooring to fruit cocktails and live music (courtesy of Jamie Woon and DJ Daisy Lowe). Just as we were about to leave on came the Brazilian samba dancers, which inspired us to dance the night away. I spent the next day day-dreaming about being back in Brazil...

Tom Ford's Debut Womenswear Collection

Tom Ford has launched his debut womenswear collection to much applause! My personal favourites are the leopard print shift and backless navy dress.

The images of the collection have been released this week, two months after the show, after banning all photography at the show. Tom Ford explained to US Vogue: "I do not understand everyone's need to see everything online the day after a show. I don't think it ultimately serves the customer, which is the whole point of my business-not to serve journalists or the fashion system. To put something out that's going to be in a store in six months, and to see it on a starlet, ranked in US magazine next week?”

Modelling the show were Ford’s A-List friends Beyoncé, Lauren Hutton and Daphne Guinness. Ford remarked: ‘It’s about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That’s why I literally put many of my own muses in the show. I hear them say, "God, I can’t find that anywhere!"

Ford stresses the importance of longevity in fashion: 'I don’t think fashion has to change every five minutes. I’d like these to be clothes you can wear for a long time—ten, 20 years; pass on to your daughter. Why buy vintage when you can open your own closet!'

What do you think of the collection?
