Elle Style Awards 2012

I was very lucky to be taken along to the Elle Style Awards last night as a guest. An elegant Audi picked us up at 7pm to take us to the event at The Savoy, as we drove up to the hotel we joined a queue of celebs getting out of the cars for waiting paps and screaming fans, it was a little terrifying but fun! We headed straight down to the bar for a glass of Champagne then were shortly ushered into the ballroom for dinner. I was sitting next to Stylist and TV star Grace Woodward who was very funny and wore an adorable hot pink vintage dress. The starter was goats cheese filled sushi on a bed of wafer thin beetroot with pink ribbons of pickled ginger, followed by supreme of chicken on a bed of mash with irony kale, then a apricot tartlet with vanilla ice cream, was perfect as not too sweet. I was sitting to the right of the stage which was great for getting a close up of the presenters and award winners outfits as they went to and from the stage, above is host Alexa Chung with Naomi Campbell. I also took a picture of the table decorations, which were beautiful, the theme was gold and lilac and pretty little vases of bluebells and roses were dotted around the table. After the awards ceremony we headed back down to the bar for mini bottles of Moet, which we downed like beer, then decided to head off to Soho house for a few cocktails with Make Up Artist and beauty writer Lisa Eldridge who looked very pretty in a lip print Prada dress. Massive hangover today but totally worth it!
