**NEW VIDEO** & LFW

Hello blogettes!
So, I haven't had a chance to keep you up to date in ages- I'm sorry about that. I had a few great days at London Fashion Week but then I got struck by the lurgy after the 3rd day and had to miss some shows I had been really looking forward to, especially my favourite designer, Inbar Spector - booooo! I watched it from my sick bed live online which at least meant I got to see her collection, and yes it was stunning as usual.

Taken from her website.

I was lucky enough (thanks to my partner in crime Katie Antoniou for getting me tickets!) to see some real gems which I reported HERE for The Kentishtowner and also I loved Ada Zandition's fashion film, Spijkers En Spijkers catwalk -lots of colour and great shapes and Pam Hogg was definitely entertaining!

 I snuck away from the hustle of central London to go to my friend Naomi Thompson's (from Vintage Secret - who you can see dressing me here) book launch which was so much fun - so many lovely people and I got my hair done for free... oh but she did burn my head... I didn't have the heart to tell her!! Anyway, I LOVE the book. It's on my wishlist for when I have the money or get given it (well it is my birthday coming up soon!!) ;)

My highlight was my good friend Jeffrey Michael blew us all a way with a lovely social exhibition style event showcasing his incredible debut collection which features a beautiful peach, short, feathered dress that I was lucky enough to be one of the first to wear in my new music video...

That brings me on very nicely to unveiling the masterpiece that is OUR NEW MUSIC VIDEO. Put together by the sensational LoveLove Films team - you basically spend 3mins inside my head and you get to choose the ending! I am so happy with it and especially as I finally get to play you some NEW MUSIC as this is the upcoming single from our new album - The Band Called Out For More -
ENJOY and please pass it on!

If you think this is interactive just you wait for the 'GAME' version coming out very soon - watch this space!

I can also now present the album cover which is quite exciting as I've had it under my hat for ages!!

Hobbes and I are loving the nice weather - I have started gardening again, been spending hours on the heath and spring cleaning (as well as playing gigs, shooting the video and lots and lots of 'planning' meetings!) I wanted to share a picture of Hobbes basking in the sun in his new favourite spot - on top of the washing basket!!!

Here's to many more days in the sun.

London Fashion Week!

Hello everyone,I'm back!I finished touring the States last week, got home for a couple of days of jetlagged rest, then headed off to Barcelona and Switzerland before making it back in time to catch the last couple of days of LFW. Somehow my touring schedule has always clashed with the last few seasons, so I haven't managed to attend any shows for ages.But all the lovely folk at Vauxhall Fashion Scout still remembered me, even Bob, working on security!They always look after me so well an get me front row seats-thankyou! It was so nice to finally catch up with some of the designers who I support and who've lent me their wonderful clothes for gigs and photoshoots. There were so many wonderful people I got to touch base with, I can't possibly mention them all, but here are a few. First up, lovely Nicola Woods of Beautiful Soul , whose kimono pieces I loved wearing on tour in Tokyo.She did a quick interview with me which you can see here, by Oliver Prout.

Next, the amazingly talented Jeffrey Michael who creates fabulous light-up costumes and set pieces-look out for something very special from him for our big gig at Koko in October!

Monday night I got to see Jasper Garvida's show and meet the designer himself and his partner Neil afterwards.I've been a fan of Jasper's for years and hope to wear some of his pieces soon. Ziad Ghanem's show was amazing-so theatrical, like a piece of performance art, featuring incredible corseted dresses.

The highlight of LFW for me though was Inbar Spector's incredible show.I've worked with Inbar for a long time now and have been lucky enough to wear her dresses for a number of shows- (there's a picture of me on stage in Holland in one of her creations below). This show was full of Inbar's signature volume and textures, masses of tulle and gold leather, I can't wait to wear some of it!Everything about the show-from the music to the make-up- was brilliantly theatrical, creative and totally original;just how fashion should be in my opinion!I was sitting with my stylist Katie and we really felt that we were witnessing a star being born, it was quite emotional!For the last few dresses,we kept thinking every one must be the finale piece as they just kept getting more and more spectacular-see for yourself!

I'll leave you with the new collection from one of my favourite day-wear designers, Elizabeth Lau. Her videos always reflect perfectly the playful,cheeky and timelessly stylish quality of both her clothes and her personality- the songs and the model's dancing are ridiculously catchy!
