Vogue Gold Night Out (London) 2015

Vogue Gold Night Out 2015, which was hosted by The Village, in London`s Westfield shopping centre,  offered an opportunity to join some of Vogue retail and beauty editors for style talks; discover numerous gift inspirations and exclusive offers; and grab a few glasses of free-flowing champagne.

The first 300 Vogue readers to arrive were greeted with a Vogue gold goody bag….too brash and therefore unattractive, in my opinion.

We enjoyed tutorials on how to sticker-up our bags at Anya Hindmarch boutique and were invited to fool-around in a Sticker Shop photo booth.

 

Jo Malone tempted Vogue readers with exclusive bespoke fragrances, and a promise of a festive glitter message on the iconic Jo Malone London box.

 

I made a dash to Versace and fell in love with these two bags; a combo of python skin, medusa logo and a heavy chain-strap was clearly irresistible.

And a shiny pink creation was made for a Barbie-part of my otherwise less-indulgent personality. Both Versace and Versace Versus offered a 30% discount off all A/W15 products.

There were make-up demonstrations on the night…..

…… and cool-looking DJ`s spiced-up the evening with groovy tunes.

 

L’orchidee, a near-by boutique patisserie enticed the event`s guests with discounts on exquisite desserts, cocktails and macarons.

 

I tried this chocolate-coloured diamond at De Beers, fuelled by a glass of Ruinart champagne. The ring contains over 100 diamonds and is priced at just over £10,000.

The night acted like a vitality pill – it energised us for a forthcoming Christmas shopping season, and helped style-savvy fashionistas come up with a few ideas for a Christmas wish-list, which may – or may-not – include these fabulous clutches from Mulberry.
