La Fromagerie & Decades x Jean-Paul Gaultier

Outfit: Chanel tweed bouclé jacket (similar here), striped top (similar here), Zara jeans, Repetto Camille pumps (take 1 size up), Louis Vuitton Bandouliere 35 Speedy (cos I was carrying the kitchen sink, food - just in case I'd starve, shopping, camera - so that I can document everything in my life, big ass wallet with every supermarket/library/shop cards known to womankind)


Recently, I popped up to London to meet Lin, an incredibly talented writer (well, she's a journalist so that'll explain why) who was here for work. We yakked well into the night. The husband thought I'd run away from home. Since I had to come back for an event, we caught up again over cheese (Asians = foodies, from birth) because I've finally met someone who is even more cheese crazy than I am. I love the concept of La Fromagerie in Marylebone where you can grab a coffee, a cheeseboard and chat the afternoon away with a friend or shop for produce. It was terribly tempting to buy a bag of different cheeses but I didn't want anyone at the Decades collaboration with Matches Fashion party to pass out from breathing in the fumes.

See? I remembered about snapping a OOTD shot or rather Lin did ....... She was well trained by the photographers in her team and snapped away without much prompting at all. Pretty darn impressive. And even stepped out of the way if she saw her reflection in my shots.









I nipped into Matches Fashion store to see the vintage Jean-Paul Gaultier collection curated by Decades store owner, the suave and self professed uber Hermes collector, Cameron Silver. I had a quick chat with him about the various pieces which included the cone bustier (think Madonna) that were specially flown over from L.A. The shoe designer, Charlotte Dellal brought along her unbelievably well behaved baby. I love seeing women taking their kids along to events because that's what working moms have to do sometimes. I spied Susie Lau of Susie Bubble, otherwise known as the fashion oracle in the blogging world who was deep in conversation.
