Arrived at Felder and Felder, which is my first show and I’m sitting next to the lovely Millie Mackintosh. Time for a quick selfie before the show begins

Oh and hey Rosie Fortescue and Roxie Nafousi!

Seems that we’re not the only ones getting in on the selfie action – Zara Martin and Whinnie Williams, sitting opposite us, have gone all out and brought a selfie stick along for the ride.

Quick outfit change and onto Fyodor Golan where I’m sitting next to my blogger friend Doina Ciobanu and follow presenter Laura Whitmore. The show has a Transformers theme and we each have a Transformers toy decorated in flowers on our seats. Time for a photo with our new friends.

Another outfit change for the Coach & Selfridges party. Mark Ronson is behind the decks playing Uptown Funk and I’m wolfing down delicious fancy chicken nuggets and mini burgers. Good end to the day.

The next day I head straight to Holly Fulton. In love with the while collection. I need this dress in my life. I’m sitting next to fashion journo supremo Suzy Menkes, a little bit in awe!

Outside the show venue the streets are swarming with stylish fashion week goers, none more so than this fellow. His name is Wilf. What a dude.

Time for tea! Next up it’s the Sunglasses Hut and Georgia May Jagger #PunkItUp party. I feel like I’ve jumped down a rabbit hole and joined Alice In Wonderland. We are met by pink galore and a table laden with humongous cakes and bubbling violet tea. All set to the soundtrack of a string quartet dance tracks. Deliciously bonkers.

Out of nowhere, Hollywood superstar Drew Barrymore appears and starts posing for photos with Georgia May Jagger. I meet her and she tells me she loves my Sea New York outfit. Total girl crush alert.

Back home and it’s time to get my hair and makeup done via The Glam App ready for Versus Versace tonight. I’m thinking loose waves and a smoky eye.

Arrive at Victoria House for Versus Versace. The place is packed! I bump into about 10 people I know before the doors even open. Inside the lights are red and the music is pumping.

One more stop tonight and it’s the Nicholas Kirkwood party. The Back To The Future car is parked out front and the inside feels like an arcade game. We find ourselves playing Pacman. As you do.

After a cheeky lie-in I’m up and off to a brunch pre shows.

Now that’s what I call fashion fuel!

Next up I hit the Aspinal presentation and bump into my friends Zoe Hardman and Ashley James. How amazing is this real flower wall?! Screaming out for a photo of course.

The bags are nice too and the tea and butterfly shaped biscuits. There’s even a resident pianist. She finishes her set and I cheekily slip into her place and proceed to impress my friends with a rendition of Monkey up the Stick, the one tune I managed to learn aged 10. It’s a masterpiece, of course.
