Fashionable Night out in London

I think I have mentioned it a few times in my blog before, but I think I have the coolest job in the world,my friends say it is a job designed just for me, and I tend to agree.

This last week I had a whirlwind trip to one of the best cities in the world, London.I love London so much, when ever I land I feel like its a place that I just need to be in.

I landed in London for the launch of our (Virgin Atlantic’s)new uniform designed by a iconic British designer Vivienne Westwood. Invite_small_a

I took along Poppy Evans(Fashion Director of Cosmo Magazine) and Shashi Naidoo (TV host for a new and upcoming show) for the official launch party where we rubbed shoulders with the who’s who on the London social scene, top Celebs, Dame Vivienne Westwood herself, we also go to spend some time with Richard Branson. Wow. What an amazing man, so down to earth and generally a nice guy, he sipped on tea and I sipped on champagne trying to hold my nerves back while him and I had a 10 min one on one meeting.

I think every now and again you need to take a step back, breath and just take everything in!!
Like now… I am sitting at a coffee shop, sipping on my morning poison, skinny capps, and applying for a new UK Visa, to go see Vivienne Westwood in London and meet the big big cheese of my company, Richard Branson.

After I had the most amazing day yesterday filled with exciting prospects for the future. I sat around a dinner table with some of the coolest, trendiest, amazing people last night. Don’t want to name drop but I had dinner with Janez Vermeiren and Shashi Naidoo, one of SA’s most beautiful because I am taking her and Poppy Evens, the fashion Director of Cosmo magazine to see a world exclusive launch of our new Virgin Atlantic uniform designed by Vivienne Westwood and a few more other exciting things that I cannot share at the moment, but stay tuned, this Sh#t is gonna be HUGE!!!
