Want to eat and drink fashion? Visit The Trafalgar

During London Fashion Week The Style PA and I visited The Trafalgar hotel and bar to view a pop up showroom called the Nolcha Fashion Lounge. The fashion was interesting (and gave me a couple of new designers to research!) but possibly more exciting, the drinks were delicious!

September at The Trafalgar is fashion month, and they have a new cocktail menu with three new cocktails inspired by fashion, and this seasons new trends:

- Nude Lace is white chocolate liqueur with tequila and a hint of coffee.

- Pretty Poetess is rum with green cardamom syrup and Angostura bitters

- The girl in the camel coat is Grand Marnier with tequila and a chocolate dusting.

I tried Nude Lace and The girl in the camel coat, and they were both creamy and delicious! What I didn't try (but it sounds yummy!) was the sharing sweet, called the Autumn Winter Assiette. This is a trio of chocolate, hazelnut, and coconut desserts inspired by the minimalist pieces on the catwalks at Aquascutum and Celine.

The cocktails are £10 each, and the sweet is £7.50: Definitely one to check out if you feel like an indulgent and decadent fashion treat!

The big bloggers night out!

I'm a bit late to the table with this, and others have written it up much better than I can, but Friday evening saw a big fashion bloggers dinner: other twenty bloggers gathered round to gossip, drink cocktails, and eat too much dim sum. It all happened thanks to Fiona of Save our Shoes. And it was lovely! One of the best things about blogging is the sense of community it brings to what could be a lonely hobby, and it's nice to put faces to names, and meet people you talk to virtually.

Dunce that I am, I left my camera at home, but here are some pictures taken from my iphone:

Pictured are Fiona, Reena of Fashion Daydreams and Kristabel of I Want You to Know, and all the other bloggers enjoying their cocktails! As always it was lovely to catch up with Jenny from The Style PA, whom I sat with during dinner. And I met and learnt about a whole host of other blogs including: Frankie of Swell Vintage, and Alex of Alex Loves. There were so many other blogs and bloggers that it was overwhelming: hopefully next time i'll get to say hello to more lovely ladies!

I think it's fair to say though, that a great night was had by all. I can't wait to do it again!

Love, Tor xx
