fashion's night out!

wednesday was london's fashion's night out event, and when it comes to free stuff and a potential gwyneth paltrow sighting, you know i can never say no.

(snagged this photo from a fellow study abroader, jessica.

credit where credit is due, yeah?)

i'm gonna bullet point this post, mostly because if i went into detail it would be a small novel, and partially because i think erin is the only person who is really going to care about the details, and i can just tell her later.

1. we (emily, monique and i) started by looking at the manolo blahnik exhibit in liberty as we waited out the rain. manolo made an appearance later, but we were in a hurry and couldn't be held up by his shenanigans.

2. we were one of the first ones at chanel because we got to oxford circus so early, so we got our nails done for free by a woman who does the nails for chanel models, sipped on pretty pink drinks in tall glasses, and took pictures in a photo booth wearing chanel furs and jewelry. oh, and i brushed against claudia schiffer as i passed her on the stairs. WHAT.

me stressing about what LIMITED EDITION color to get.

3. stood outside of stella mccartney for all of 3 minutes when gwyneth paltrow pulls up, steps out of a car, gets paparazzi attacked, and goes inside. WHAT!

there she is. in all her glory.

4. bought shoes at dune, which has easily become one of my favorite shoe stores.

5. walked away with multiple goody bags. WHAT!?

that's it. it was a great night. had way too much fun.
