London Turns Out A Little Opulence

We'll have the Jenny Packham Fall 08 show to you shortly and here's a sneak peek from backstage. Looks like the London red's are still turning up as the week continues and though many designers from London Fashion Week are presenting much darker, more sinister collections, opulence is bound to turn up somewhere. The Packham show should be quite romantic (the woman does bridal wear for god sakes), and dare we say it, appropriate to show on Valentine's Day.

Okay, Valentine's Day Is Tomorrow

Honestly, we'd like to give this whole February 14th-thing a swift kick in the pants. No, we aren't bitter! It's simply that we like to go out to nice meals and make googly eyes at people and, like any healthy cultural greed, it bothers us when other people do this too. 'Oh, this wine is so nutty', 'Yes, we'd like coffee after our meal', 'Let's go dancing, why not?'. 'But only on this special day!' Anyway, perhaps you need a break from fashion week (year?) and our Bubsy wearing expensive jewels. Perhaps you do like to get pumped on V-Day. Well, our network is definitely on the case.
Style Bakery features a Bobbi Brown pink raspberry face palate that, damn, we think would be pretty any time of the year. I Am Fashion runs down what to get your girl friends for what we suspect would make the perfect night in (aside from a male prostitute and an Ambien!) and The Scented Salamandar gives us her educated opinion on Agent Provocateur's scented massage oil.
