<div style="text-align: justify;">
This morning I woke up hungover, wearing last nights make-up, my mouth tasting of the junk food eaten the night before - it would seem that that playing hard is my default reaction to working hard. This week has been a busy one, as well as working long hours everyday, plus three evenings, I have been to three gigs, thrown a dinner party for six, been out for two lavish dinners and survived a tequila fuelled girls night. The past week has been taxing; physically, mentally and financially. So, I have decided to go on a detox this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I shall not consume, or allow myself to pine for: caffeine, added sugar, refined carbs, alcohol, dairy, meat, poultry or fish. Sounds hardcore but I know I'll feel amazing, relaxed and refreshed by this time next week. Having completed a strict <b><span style="color: #4c1130;"><a href="http://fashionfiltered.com/projects/raw-fairies-mini-b-cleanse/" target="_blank">'Raw Fairies'</a></span></b> detox in the past I am confident that I can be disciplined, even when meeting up with a group of girls at my favourite French Bistro later in the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'd like to invite you to join me on my detox this week. Party season is upon us and as Christmas draws closer it would be good to have a purge before a month of over excess kicks in. Below are some of my favourite detox meals that are easy, quick and tasty, I urge you to give them a go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Breakfast:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Banana, blueberry and coconut water smoothie</b> -<i> just blend together!</i></li>
<li><b>Oatmeal soaked in pressed apple juice with cinnamon and raisin</b> <i>- soak the oatmeal and raisins in pressed apple juice over night with a sprinkle of cinnamon.</i></li>
<li><b>Papaya with raspberries and lime </b><i>- hardly a recipe really - halve a papaya, scoop out the seeds, fill the cavity with raspberries and spritz over the juice of half a lime.</i></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Lunch:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>White bean salad</b><i><b> </b>- finely sliced red onion steeped in a little red wine vinegar with minced garlic and olive oil stirred through white beans with a massive bunch of roughly chopped parsley thrown over.</i></li>
<li><b>Vegetable rice wraps</b><i> - finely sliced cucumber, carrot, spring onion, red pepper, chilli, black sesame seeds and fresh mint leaves wrapped in rice wraps and dipped in a sauce of fish sauce, ginger, garlic, agave syrup and rice vinegar.</i></li>
<li><b>Miso soup or tom yum soup with added thinly sliced vegetables and tofu</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Dinner:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Black rice with Vietnamese dressing and avocado </b><i>- black nanking rice or black Venus rice (not wild rice) boiled in water with a vietnamese dressing stirred through and avocado scooped out on top (Dressing: 1/2 clove minced garlic, 1/2 fresh red chilli, minced fresh ginger, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp water, 1/2 tbsp agave syrup).</i></li>
<li><b>Speltotto -</b> <i>pearled spelt cooked like risotto with minced onion, garlic, celery and vegetable stock. At the last minute stir in fresh spinach and peas and a few drops of white truffle oil.</i></li>
<li><b>Vegetable pakoras </b>-<i> finely sliced fennel, onion and roughly torn coriander mixed with gram flour (made from chickpea) and Indian spices. Add a little iced soda water to make into a light batter, fry in rapeseed oil and spritz over lemon juice.</i></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If this is too much hard work you can always eat soup! Let me know how you get on...</div>

I have been a huge supporter of pencil skirts and dresses for years and turned my nose up at the return of the A-line skirt when viewing the AW12 collections, but, its time to face facts that this shape is making a huge comeback. If I want to keep my wardrobe up to date, I must move with the times.<br />
<br />
A friend stayed over last week and asked to borrow some clothes to wear, she laughed when I brought out about 5 dresses which were all of identical silhouette. Knee length, long sleeve, tight fitting pencil dresses in block colours (the only 'wild' variations being the addition of stripes). It seems I have been stuck in a style rut for the past year... So I decided to challenge myself.<br />
<br />
Last week I popped into one of my favourites high street store's, COS, to track down a new dress. Being a very busy person I tend to go for dresses over separates, allowing me to stay in bed longer and focus on accessorising, brushing my hair etc. A great dress gives the illusion of effort when really its effortless. Whilst at COS I picked up 6 dresses, only one was A-line, I crinkled my nose and left it last to try on... I actually gasped as I spun round in front of the mirror, checking all angles. The dress is a soft, light weight and breathable wool and cotton mix with 7/8 length sleeves, a high boat neck, fitted at the top, cinched at the waist flaring out into a wide A-line. I felt ultra feminine (tricky for a 5'8" size 12-14 girl with size 41 feet), girly and sexy. It was PERFECT! I went to a boutique launch that evening and changed in the office loo's after work, shoving my old faithful grey, knee length, long sleeve pencil dress into my bag. At the party the dress got a great reaction (probably more so because of my sudden change of style) with comments of how slim my waist looked and that I looked more youthful! So, if you haven't already, please do give A-line a go, you will be pleasantly surprised. Wool Jersey Dress, £69.00 from <b><a href="http://www.cosstores.com/" style="color: #741b47;" target="_blank">COS</a></b>. Image from the website.</div>

On Tuesday I went to go and admire H&M's latest designer collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela at the H&M Press Office. The collection celebrates key pieces of Margiela's designs over the years that have been re-worked for the collaboration and reads almost as a retrospective of the designers work. The room was subtly transformed into a gallery space with stark white walls and harsh white lights and only white drinks and canapés of white fish, chicken and naturally white coloured foods were served. What struck me most about the collection was volume. Everything was scaled up and 'man size' whilst still being tailored to fit the female form. Touches of fun were dotted around in the form of gloves that became clutches and can ring pulls scaled up to necklace size. My standout pieces had to be a huge cosy duvet coat, the silver 'sweetie wrapper' oversized clutch (modelled here by stylist <a href="http://www.charlie-moore.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Charlie Moore</span></b></a>) and perspex heeled ankle boots which I will be hunting down when the collection launches on November 15th. </div>

Last night I went along to preview the <a href="http://www.fabishoes.it/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #4c1130;">Fabi</span></b></a> shoe collection for SS13. The evening showcased fashion and food from Italy's Le Marche region and we were treated to delicious wines served alongside truffle scented canapés by 2 Michelin starred chef, Mauro Uliassi. It was a lively party that took over the entire restaurant at Kensington's 'Locanda Ottomezzo' which was due to finish at 21.30 but was set to go on into the night. Fabi's shoes delivered a good dose of classic Italian bling that sparkled in the intimate and candle lit venue. Check out our video of the event and a review on <b><span style="color: #4c1130;"><a href="http://fashionfiltered.com/projects/an-evening-with-fabi-shoes/" target="_blank">fashionfiltered.com</a>. </span></b></div>

<i>"In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." </i>Cady, Mean Girls.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love this quote from the teen flick hit movie 'Mean Girls' starring Lindsay Lohan, it does ring true in 'girl world'. With Halloween just a few days away I bet 90% of you will be heading to some sort of spooky party this weekend. Don't get caught out in an old sheet or naff witches hat from Tesco, keep it classy and sexy with these treats (tricks are for hookers).<br />

This weekend I headed up to Hampstead Heath with Thomas Walter of <span style="color: #4c1130;"><a href="http://tuckerproductions.co.uk/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Tucker Productions</a><b> </b>to</span> shoot a short film showcasing my favourite 4 dresses from the <b><span style="color: #4c1130;"><a href="http://www.alliumb.com/" target="_blank">Allium B</a></span></b> AW12 Collection. If you are not familiar with the brand they specialise in effortless and easy to wear day to evening dresses. The AW12 collection is inspired by vintage designs reworked into modern and elegant dresses that are practical for everyday wear. Allium B make dresses for women, not teenagers so it was great to use mother of two, Jane Chilvers as our model for the day.

A friend has been on a quest for specific Chelsea boots for autumn, after pacing London's Oxford Street and surfing online fashion retailers she gave up the search an enlisted me to scope out a suitable pair that must be; dark red or dark brown, flat, patent where possible and under £400.00. Sounds like an easy task right? I can empathise with her frustration, but, seek and ye shall find and 6 pairs I did find. At least one of these pairs should keep her tootsies happy, all perfect for skinny jeans and day dresses.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you will know from previous beauty posts, I am a massive supporter and user of organic, chemical free skincare, this market has greatly expanded and I find myself spoilt for choice. Each time skincare runs out I have the happy task of trying out something new, this time I decided to give <b><span style="color: #444444;"><a href="http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/" target="_blank">Green People</a></span></b> a whirl. I usually pop to local health store, <span style="color: #666666;"><b><a href="http://www.earthnaturalfoods.co.uk/" target="_blank">Earth</a></b></span>, in Kentish Town, <b><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/node/6514" target="_blank">Whole Foods</a></span></b> or <b><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/" target="_blank">John Lewis</a> </span></b>for skincare but yesterday, during my <b><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.ocado.com/" target="_blank">Ocado</a></span></b> shop on their iPad App, I stumbled across Green People whilst looking for soap (yes, I'm old school and use soap). Ocado are doing 20% off Green People products at the moment so it was the perfect incentive to purchase. None of their products are tested on animals, don't contain nasties (like parabens, synthetic fragrances and petrochemicals), are at least 80% organic and they donate 10% of their profits to charity. I tested their <b><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/organic-face-scrub-products.aspx" target="_blank">Fruit Scrub Exfoliator</a></span></b> and the anti-ageing <b><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/vita-min-fix-50ml.aspx" target="_blank">Vitamin Fix 24 Hour Moisturiser</a></span></b>. After using a gentle cleanser I double pumped a good amount of exfoliator and massaged on to my skin, paying special attention to my oily and blackhead prone nose and chin. The ground Apricot Kernel did an effective job of sloughing off dead skin cells whilst the astringent Witch Hazel dried up any oiliness, my skin felt taught, refreshed and looked more radiant. Before trying out the moisturiser I kept to my usual ritual of swiping some rose water across my skin. The moisturiser was thicker than most and one pump gave a generous amount, after slathering on I felt it sat as a layer on my skin then slowly began to sink in (I would wait a good 5 minutes before applying foundation). Once absorbed my skin felt slightly taught and toned, soft and dewy to the touch with a slight reflective sheen. A few hours after and it feels like its still doing the job and there are no signs of dry skin on my cheeks, which I usually get with other moisturisers, must be down to the avocado, olive extract, evening primrose and seaweed. I thoroughly recommended that you try this <b><span style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/awards.aspx" target="_blank">Award Winning</a></span></b> brand.

The excitement of re-discovering a once lost and forgotten pair of shoes can sometimes feel like opening a present on Christmas morning. You can imagine how I squealed with delight when my good friend re-acquainted me with these once worn strappy shoes boots last week. I originally bought these shoes (from <b><a href="http://www.office.co.uk/" target="_blank">Office</a></b>) as part of an outfit for a music themed dress up 30th birthday party, the shenanigans were held in a hay bale filled poly tunnel on her parents farm in Woburn. I decided to go as Cheryl Cole when she appeared on <b><a href="http://xfactor.itv.com/" target="_blank">The X-Factor</a></b> singing her 2009 hit 'Fight for this love'. Despite being on a farm, and the party going on till gone 3am, I refused to break character and soldiered on in my heels till pain took over and I swapped for UGGs, I put the shoes down and never picked them up... Since then they have been weathered by 2 years of rain, ice and snow in the poly tunnel and still seem fine, just a bit dusty! To celebrate getting them back I wore them this weekend and was pleased at the amount of compliments they received. I did naughtily wear them without washing so ended up with pretty brown feet. Today I've been busy resurrecting them to former glory with a good clean and a lick of much needed shoe polish - a make over in black. I look forward to getting good use out of them.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With this weekend set to be sunny, even if a little chilly, make sure you get out out and about and pop along to Primrose Hill's <b><span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.vintagefashionfairlondon.co.uk/" target="_blank">Vintage Fashion Fair</a></span></b> on Sunday 14th October. The fair specialises in vintage clothing, hats, handbags, gloves, shoes, jewellery and textiles from 1800s to the 1980s at affordable prices. Despite being well established and in its 4th year the Vintage Fashion Fair remains small and friendly with a total of 25 stalls.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Organiser and owner of Vintage Fashion London, Marilyn Tye, aims to address the heavy demand for pre-loved treasures and introduce novices to vintage, "High Street fashion can look more interesting and quirky by adding one or more vintage pieces and then your look is all your own! Its very okay to mix vintage with new!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be sure to get there early before all the best pieces get snapped up! Open from 11.00 to 17.00. Admission £3.00. Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regents Park Road, London NW1 7AY. If you can't make it this Sunday the next scheduled dates are the 11th November and 2nd December - in time for christmas shopping (eeek!) Image from the website.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last night I popped along to the launch of online boutique, <b><a href="http://en.59strings.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">59 Strings</span></a></b>, at <b><a href="http://www.thearchlondon.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">The Arch Hotel London</span></a></b>. The room was buzzing with chatter over the cool soulful tunes spun by the DJ whilst really good, zesty wine flowed. 59 Strings is a revolutionary e-boutique that focusses on unique investment fashion pieces that go beyond trends. So what makes 59 Strings stand out from the likes of e-tailer giants NET-A-PORTER and My Wardrobe? Their USP, '3 Ways Of Buying', is a selective buying strategy that puts the customer at the heart and in control of purchasing. You can 'Pre-Order' by reserving pieces at discounted prices, if enough pieces are ordered the item goes into production (a great way of only supplying for carefully calculated demand). You can select 'Made-To-Order' and customise your purchase, giving you the power to influence design and create a one off and personalised piece. If you are a little impatient and need it now the 'Ready-To-Ship' option lets you select pieces from the website, delivered in 2-10 days. 59 Strings showcases the best of artisan European designers, 95% of their products are designed and made in Europe. Many of the designers were at the launch to talk through their work which was insightful and fascinating. My date for the evening, actress <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5232257/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: purple;">Claude Hoadley</span></b></a>, jumped at the chance to try on this bold 24k gold tiger skin cuff by British designer Dominique Lucas. I snapped my favourite pieces before Claude and I headed off to private members club <b><a href="http://homehouse.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">Home House</span></a></b> on Portman Square for a wild end to what started out as a civilsed and elegant evening!</div>

Check out the rest of the collection online, you will really struggle to pick a pair, well, at these prices you can get two pairs. Buy and wear NOW before they sell out or get killed by popularity (although the risk will be totally worth it). Anti-clockwise from bottom: Cowboy ankle boot with heel and fringes £119.00. Basic ankle boot £59.99. Wedge court shoe £69.99. Ankle boot with metal toe £79.99. Combined heel court shoe £49.99. Tiger wedge £79.99.

This collection was a case of 'more is more'. Intricate embellishments of beadwork and mirrors. Mixing of fabric, texture, pattern and scale. Layering, pleats, ruffles, cut-outs, slits and varying hem lengths. Everything was going on here but clever design made it all work.

I met the charismatic and very down to earth Julien MacDonald on Saturday at his Old Burlington Street Boutique to view his SS13 collection. He was doing one on one appointments which meant I got the chance to check out his craftsmanship up close as he talked about the inspiration behind the collection and the reason for the lavish techniques and detailing employed. Julien was inspired by the femme fatale, Sharon Stone, in Basic Instinct, chic, sexy and dressed to kill. Every piece was named after an exotic or luxury location where he envisaged the woman wearing the dress would find herself... at a beach soirée in Bali or on a boat in the Mediterranean... All the designing and construction is done in the UK and all of the sequins and embellishment have been designed by the man himself, you will not find this detailing anywhere else.

Yet more sparkle was present at the Markus Lupfer SS13 Presentation at the Vinyl Factory on Friday night. It was a really fun and young feeling collection with baby greys, blue and pink cashmeres playing second fiddle to bold sequinned designs and full on silver metallic blocking. The models were like space age, futuristic teenagers from another planet. Despite being so in-your-face everything was totally wearable, hero pieces that you will wear well into future seasons.

Who knew fringed shoes were sexy? It appears Marios Schwab knew, sexy in a primal, animal way, like a cat swishing its tail, at the same time powerful and assertive. This set the scene for the collection, pretty pleats but in leather, floaty sheer chiffons toughened up with leather armoured belts complete with Roman soldier horse hair fringing. Femininity shone through via the sparkle of glitter, sequins and pretty sheer and black lace cycling shorts.

Jonathan Saunders showed last night at the Tate Modern, as I approached the entrance all was in eery darkness and everyone was whispering, we had to walk through the great Turbine Hall, murkily lit by a smoky beam of light, to get to the concrete and mirrored cave that was the Tanks Lobby for the show. The catwalk weaved in a triangular shape flanked by concrete benches giving everyone a fair view. The collection was full of deep, saturated colours with touches of summery pastels and a good dose of sequins. I particularly loved a matching cashmere cardi and pencil skirt that was carpeted in blood red sequins on the front and soft charcoal grey on the back, great for contrast style and practicality. Jonathan's signature bold prints were either full on or knocked back and paired with simple basic silhouettes. The shoes were simply perfect, I have a bit of a shoe fetish so had to stop myself just looking at the comfortable yet chic block heeled sandals by Louboutin.

It was a welcome treat to be handed a Bailey's martini whilst waiting to be ushered to ours seats at the Felder Felder show. Once settled and the paps had stopped snapping the celeb turnout the lights went down a side door openend, a silhouette softly walked up the steps to a microphone, then bam! Lights and music blasted and Kate Nash's strong vocals kicked in as the girls marched out. Typical of me I saw the shoes first, chunky, blocky heels trimmed with gold. The whole collection had a luxurious and expensive feel to it, there was a good dose of floaty sheers, ruffle embellishment and of course the Felder Felder print. A real midsummer feel with apricot, sea blue and neutral hues. All photos property of <b><a href="http://www.fashionfiltered.com/" target="_blank">Fashion Filtered</a></b> Ltd. </div>
