I’m part of a panel discussion, which focuses on fusing traditional and modern dress with Swarovski Elements. The panel includes the designer to the Sheikha in Kuwait, London’s Maria Grachvogel, and Swarovski’s head of trend and design, Ute Schumacher and it’s chaired by FBC’s Courtney Blackman. It’s quite an exciting event as it will explore culture, history and how traditional wear is become more mainstream through modern design and embellishment.

For some reason I can’t resist a sparkly USB key. I love when I give a presentation and I hand over my sparkly USB key and I feel a bit silly in a kind of special way. These USB key animals are by Swarovski Active Crystals and they also make sparkly headphones!
I love all things glitzy, even my bed spread and pillow cases are embellished with diamontes come to think of it. So due to my love of glitz you can just imagine just how excited I was walking in to the Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED party in honour of Daisy Lowe and her new capsule collection.
The party had it all:
Glitterballs. Check.
A sparkly sofa. Check.
Jewels hanging from the ceiling. Check.
Celebrities. Check.
Champagne. Check
The party was brilliant. Daisy Lowe looked stunning in her new season Christopher Kane dress, which suited her figure perfectly. Her red shoes and matching lips were a hit with all the boys that surrounded her all night and she also had the new season Chanel tattoo around her thigh – the first celebrity I’ve seen giving the tricky trend a go. I loved her hair too, it had a very big, bouffant Wonder Woman vibe to it.
She had lots of friends around her; a few celeb pals, a few model chums (Tallulah Adeyemi to name my fave) Unfortunately there was no sign of any family members which was a tad surprising, and disappointing as I was hoping to catch a glimpse of step-mum Gwen.
No matter how hard I try, sometimes it’s just difficult to stop working at these events. I’m always looking around looking for stylish people to snap for Elleuk.com or I’m too busy ‘networking’ that I forget to have fun!
I did manage to enjoy the champagne and hit my diamonte encrusted bed in the wee hours of the morning and not to brag or anything but the Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED party rocked!
The Olympus Pen E-P1 is a very stylish looking camera. Well as far as bling goes we might even say it’s understated. Of course this is perfect for the girl who can never have enough bling in her life!
The retro style camera has been bejewelled in Swarovski crystals by Crystal Roc. It comes in a limited-edition wooden box with two lenses and a flash. It’s available at Harrods for £1999!
I’m not a sparkly bling kind of girl – but it’s something I do love in a shoot. If you’re looking to customize a garment Swarovski Crystals are the way to go. It’s worth a visit to the Swarovski Crystallized Cosmos & Lounge, 24 Great Marlborough Street, London, W1
Customizing shoes and garments is such a unique way of giving an item some personal style and making it unique!
