Last night heralded the start of the Christmas Party Season when we went to the Jean Brown drinks do. It was excellent. You were 'sposed to wear white but I went with pale Mauve Day Birger et Mikkelsen instead.
with this Chloe shoes and this YSL clutch (both from the Magic of JB).
There were Superior Cakes. That white chocolate one was Delicious. At the end of the night I saw Mr FF with not 1 but 2 slices in his paws.
I love this YSL blue stuff
and those leopard shoes were good too
Amber looked Gorgeous. Her dress was from the Tribune. Someone email me the designer so I can say who did it.
This is Mr FF with our Cigar-Smoking-Aficionado-Friend B. They both said "Yes" to striped ties.
All the Big Names were there-including Paddy's sister Louise who is a long time commenter on this blog! It was lovely to meet you L. In a weird twist of It's a Small World After all, L knew Mr FF's late father!
Young thin tall gazelle like women roamed the store looking gorgeous
I did not leave empty handed People. I got my mitts of a Superior Gift bag chock full of excellent stuff and these heavily discounted Prada red patent ballet flats. I know. They are Perfection.
Off to a Coalface Breakfast that starts at 7am, a preview of the Hermes shoppe at lunch, a book launch this afternoon and dinner with my childhood neighbour. It's a long day but someone has to action it.
Meanwhile, the blog turns 1 on the 4th December. I'll be having a GIVEAWAY of a Red Phoenix new season necklace. I might do a post tomorrow. Hasn't the year sped by?

I'm in love with your Chloe shoes! So classic. Those Prada flats are gorgeous, too. Their shoes are so comfortable.
ReplyDeleteHappy Almost Blog Anniversary!

Oh the glamour of it all - the dresses, the shoes, the YSL items, the cake! Love your dress, love Amber's dress - and you met Louise. What a great evening! (Mrs B sobs quietly into her cocoa as she pops on her bedsocks and makes mental note to empty bins tomorrow...) xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, your word check thing was "Mitski" tonight, does it know about our weather and is it taking the p*** or what?
ReplyDeleteOh My - you've got great pins Ms FF! All those delicious shoes - I'm slipping into a bad case of envy as all we can wear here in the UK snow are thermal socks and furry boots. Especially loving your Day Birger dress and the gorgeous number worn by Amber. Happy Blog Anniversary - I've been reading every post since I became follower number 50 or 51 -ish and luff it.
ReplyDeleteLove all the outfits and shoes! You are such a busy socialite and having fun which is what it should be all about. Please tell me that those shoes are not on the table in the last shot? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI too am loving your Chloe shoes- sitting here very envious! Can you believe it is Christmas party time already?
ReplyDeleteshoes aren't sitting on table- the SHOE BOX is on table, shoes are on top of the box.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful things! Love the YSL clutch an those Prada shoes. Yum :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog has the same birthday as my mother, the Grande Dame. Coincidence? I think not!
ReplyDeleteI love the Chloe heels and also the new red flats!
ReplyDeleteSSG xxx
PS - the Suited Ones looked very slick. I like the use of stripe in a tie, shirt and jacket!
Everything looks divine and to die for.
ReplyDeleteThe red ballet flats are gorgeous. Enjoy your busy day FF.

This year has simply flown by, Only 24 days till Christmas and 28 till my Birthday!! Yippiee!
ReplyDeleteP.s A-Mazing red , patent Ballet Flats, I heart these! x
Dear Ms FF, What Glamour! And with cake! I agree with Ms Elegancemaison - what great pins you have! I have admired those Chloe shoes since you first posted them and I can see you having many happy moments with the new Prada numbers if you decide to take them off the box off the table and onto the footpath. Mind you, I be happy to have them on my dining table as a centrepiece. Lovely to see the back of Louise's head - I love reading her comments. Did she have a puppy in her handbag? I do think that a 7am Coalface event is stretching the friendship. I hope it is a super delicious one. Will you be playing buzzword bingo?
ReplyDeleteAmber was wearing the Conceited Deceit racer back dress by Salita Matthews layered with a tulle shift by Subfusco. They are both local designers! What a fun night!

FF - those Chloe shoes look hot on you! Not sure how you stood in them all night but they look great. That bronze ysl clutch has been good to you.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are F A B U L O U S!
ReplyDeleteKatie
The red ballet flats are to die for.....I always think red shoes=happiness.
ReplyDeleteNice party, and the cakes look tasty...
and happy blog birthday...
What a great night, but now that i see that shot, sheesh i was showing a bit of cleavage and as you know i am not a cleavage kinda gal! Thanks so much for coming. As usual your presence was divine.
ReplyDeleteJust some background: I have been reading your blog since its inception...I've commented a good few times too. I visit your blog every day without fail and you are a household name for us. When my husband asks, "what are you reading?", I say FF. I've answered FF so many times he's like who or WHAT is FF?? LOL. I never explain properly properly because he can't listen to answers that take longer than two words (extremely short attention span) so I just say Faux Fuchsia and he just leaves it at that. I suppose the fact that it sounds girly is enough info for him.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, so I got to thinking why do I like you so much? You are very career oriented where as I am not at all. I don't have a glitzy life and I am not very social by nature.
All we have in common is a love of looking groomed, keeping our hair looking amazing...(thanks, morrocan oil), being frugal, not being greedy with material goods...a few excellent quality things are better than mountains of crud, not hoarding = sharing, and being nice to people. Oh I do have 2 very small dogs....please will you do a post on your dog again?
So I thought about it and I realised that I like you so much because you are the opposite of a jealous person. I also like you because you have embraced the fact that you will not be having any kids and you are not bitter about it. I love that you take immense enjoyment out of your niece and nephew. I'd even go so far as to say that I wish you were the aunt of my child. I love how you don't look down on women who do happen to have a whole bunch of children (as long as they can take good care of them, obviously). I feel like we are almost, but not quite in the same boat.
I don't think you'll know what I'm talking about but if there are any other mothers out there with only one child (by choice) they might know what I'm getting at. I feel like mothers with two or more kids look down on me and don't acknowledge me as a proper mother because I selfishly chose to have only one child. I am sure people make judgements of you too, FF, for not having any. I know I don't know your story, but I know that people don't NEED to know MY story before they judge me. Anyway, this is getting too deep, lol. Just wanted to say that I really admire you and I think you are da bomb! Lol. And my only motivation for telling you this is because I believe life is too short to keep from giving someone a truly sincere compliment when it is so obviously deserved and earned.
Tracy.
Wow, brilliant outfit, I love it! I am super jealous of your whirlwind of seasonal parties! My Christmas doesn't even come close! Hope you are having a fantastic festive season xx
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous, living the fabulous life!

I love the table of ethereal white food and I'm so envious of your bare legs and heels, I'm in big wooly socks and wellies today.

The party looked fab.

How totally lovely you look in that dress FF. Love the shoes - both the heels that you wore and the new addition to your shoe family too. Delicious looking cakes too. x
ReplyDeleteDear FF. It was wonderful to meet you last night.
