This morning we took Wendy and her mascot penguin for breakfast at Plan 9. She’s going to take photos of him against the landmarks in each country she visits. I wish I had my own little mascot to follow me around.

In the evening it was Fashion’s Night Out, which was like a pub crawl of the expensive fashion shops of Bond Street. Emma got us invites for the party at @[10109514234:CHANEL], where they had a nail bar in the basement (I’m surprised that no-one passed out with the fumes) and a photoshoot with @[13317353615:Daisy Lowe] upstairs. We stayed for a glass of champagne before heading off to see the rest of the street.

It felt like a grown up’s version of Halloween, going from shop to shop, having nibbles, picking up freebies and glasses of booze. We had mini-bottles of champagne at DKNY while we browsed the collection.

We then had nibbles and OJ at Camper where they had the most adorable shoes that I want in my size. We also had truffles from the chocolate shop next door and then more champagne at @[121189431291237:Alexander McQueen].

@[122792026424:Burberry] had the best drinks. We sipped on Pimms with strawberries and gin & tonics, while I fell in love with this tiered mac. At £1000, I’m trying to figure out if I could sew my own.

In the evening, we were invited to see the @[87063868396:Plasticines] play at Proud Camden, so we met up with Wendy and headed along. The Plasticines are a girl band from Paris and Tom described them as the “French Sleater-Kinney”.

They stopped mid-set to tell the crowd that they were “f****** s***” and wouldn’t keep playing unless they made more of an effort, which was awesome. Keep an eye out for them in a future issue of Snippets.

Proud seemed like an awesome venue. It’s in the Stables Market, so the bar area was made up of lots of little stables filled with arcade games, pole-dancing tables and comfy sofas. My favorite was the Dress-Up Bar, where you could try on different outfits.
