Fallon very kindly invited the girls & I to an evening of canapés, cocktails & art worshiping at The Wellington Club.
She runs a gallery called Imitate Modern which houses the most incredible, eclectic collection of modern art I've seen.
The Welly was the perfect choice, it's sexy, quirky & just a little bit seedy (well, as seedy as you can get in Knightsbridge).
I've had a bit of a makeup overhaul, which I'll do a post on at some point, but let's just say the NARS eyeliner pen is my newest obsession...
As we arrived, we found ourselves surrounded by graffiti artists working as guests partied.
We got our own back & surrounded one of them too.
The Welly is a little bit of a maze & Imitate had strewn works of art throughout.
We went exploring.
The paparazzi were out in force...
Our fabulous hostess, Fallon in her incredible pink Hervé Leger dress.
My swishy red one allows for a lot more canapés...
Now, I know it's a little odd to blog about your journey home, but hey! I am a little odd.
I've recently rediscovered my love for Uber cabs. They're luxury private cars, but cost about the same as an Add Lee.
Anyway, I was minding my own business, snuggled in my heated seat, watching the news...
When I picked up the car's iPad & found I was the homepage!
I grinned from ear to ear! I tweeted and the company have very kindly been in touch to say that any Londoner reader is welcome in their cars, so if you fancy giving them a go you can have a free ride!
Download the app & pop "TheLondoner" in as the promo code. They'll give you £20 credit & you can get out of the snow & be treated like royalty.
It's not just for Londoners. Pick ups in these areas:
San Fran, NYC, LA, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, D.C., Vancouver, Toronto, Paris, Berlin, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Diego, Amsterdam, Atlanta, Denver, London, Melbourne, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Phoenix, Stockholm, Sydney, Baltimore, Milan, Sacramento, and Singapore.
Tweet me a pic from your pimpin' ride, player!
what'd you use for your makeup!!
ReplyDeleteWill do a dedicated girly makeup post soon! x
Deleteand how you get ready for a night out? any beauty tips?? :) xx

ReplyDeleteLOVe the eyeliner on you. I have the Nars stylo pen and won't go to a desert island without it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I've only just discovered it!
DeleteWow it looks like such a blast! By the way, I loved the dress,where'd you get it? Also I'm taking a trip to NYC and Boston soon, thanks for the freebie ride :)
ReplyDeleteIt's from her favourite shop Nasty Gal
DeleteActually it's from asos! It does look very much like a Nasty Gal dress though, you're right!
DeleteIm so excited about uber! I live in sacramento (which is a place that you need to make fun to have fun!) and i am so excited for my girls night out this friday! I will be using this uber cab promo!
ReplyDeletedo you get paid off uber for this?
ReplyDeleteNo Uber don't pay me... but if you'd like to suggest that to them I am TOTALLY behind it! ;)
DeleteI love Uber-I take it in Chicago all the time!
ReplyDeleteHuge fan of the Nars lip glosses. Are you wearing Turkish Delight in that photo?
That looks like a very super awesome night! And you look beautiful as always. I love your blog! Moving to Singapore in a few weeks so will definitely give them a try :)

I looooove Uber! The drivers are always so friendly.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh you and your friends are gorgeous! Not to mention the hottie in the leather jacket. I am so jealous of your life! From what you share of it, it looks like you have truly become a "yes" woman. You are an inspirational blogger :)

ReplyDeleteGreat post, Rosie! I'll have to head down to Chicago soon to use the free ride :) Also I know you've previously said you're not very keen on posting lots of stuff on the blog about your hair/makeup/etc routine but I'm excited for a girly makeup post from you! I've always been so envious of your hair, it's seriously goddess worthy! Feel free to post some hair products too! xx
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in love with Nars now - had barely heard of it before! Looks like a cool night - lot's of funky art. I love art galleries!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your dress! Where is it from?
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of that NARS liner too Rose, can't live without it!

Well, you all look just a little bit fabulous! Strike that. You all look a lot fabulous, and that looks like a great night out.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so pretty! Am looking forward to your make up post.
Can imagine how nice it must have been to have found your blog as the homepage! Clearly, they have good taste!

The art looks incredible am already taking a look at the imitate modern website.
ReplyDeleteAwh that's my friend Rich (the graffiti artist) you girlies have accosted!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You look sensational in red!
The Link to your dress is Not working (a site comes up where it says that rewardstyle needed go plug out for a while?)
ReplyDeleteLink works again :)
DeleteYour shoes are delicious, are they Loubis? Fab as ever x
ReplyDeleteLove all your fancy dresses in combimnation with the grafiti and the seedy bar!
ReplyDeleteYour makeup looks amazing! I cannot wait to see your newest makeup post. I love NARS and have been using Orgasm blush for many years now!
ReplyDeleteYour friend wearing white is gorgeous! She has amazing style - where do I start? The red birkin? The amaze-balls engagement ring? Insane shoes?
Lastly, Fallon is so glam! Does she have a blog? I think I need to dress up more often!
p.s. Do you ever wear false eyelashes? I am always on the fence about them and I am never sure if it sets off a look or makes it look a bit overdone.
Much Love

I never wear fake eyelashes, I can't deal with the hassle. But I do think naturalish ones look good on some girls!
DeleteFallon's blog is here.
xx
you look absolutely gorgeous rose! i so wish i had a figure like yours! and the shoes are just incredible (gimme gimme gimme!)! plus the cars sound amazing! unfortunately they do not do the service where i am but next time i'm in london i think i may have to check it out! they sound so so so cool! thanks for the heads up about them! :) X

ReplyDeletehttp://prettylittleb0w.blogspot.co.uk/
I'm new to your blog Rosie and I just love it!! Is it okay if I live vicariously through you?! I've had a baby this last year so things have changed quite a bit in my life!! Nothing like a good night out with your girlies followed by travelling home in style I have to say.
ReplyDeletehttp://littlehouseofours.blogspot.co.uk
The Wellington is really cool. Went there for a magazine launch and had fun with the girls. Did you sit on that leather bed with the thongs on the wall ? lol.

Love this post! I'm in need of a little gift advice from anyone who can help... Does anyone have any go-to places for gifts for men? I'm looking for a kick-ass present for my boy's birthday and want something with a bit of wow factor. He loves luxury and really appreciated the fancy leather diary I gave him for Christmas but I need something to top this!
ReplyDeleteAny ideas would be much appreciated :) x
Does he wear suits to work? Maybe some engraved silver Tiffany's collar stiffeners like these:
Deletehttp://www.tiffany.co.uk/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=15369566
Or a nice tie-pin or cuff-links never go astray. Maybe look for vintage in Hatton Garden if he likes vintage.

I'm in need of a kick-ass present for my boy's birthday - he loved the fancy leather diary I gave him for Christmas but I need something to top this! He loves luxurious things and is a bit of a geek so if anyone has any websites that would suit please let me know I'd really appreciate it :) x
ReplyDeleteI hope that Rosie or any of her readers can help.
ReplyDeleteI am being moved to the Glasgow office of my firm to work on a project for the next six months (from London) and as much as I am excited about the jump I am taking on the career ladder, I have no clue about the city.
Do you know of any good clubs and places to eat out? I am also looking for an amazing hair stylist who knows how to do a good blow dry!
It depends what you're looking for. I lived in Glasgow for a while and it doesn't really cater for "high society" in the way that London or Paris does...any clubs I visited seemed to be rather chav. Maybe I missed the good places!
DeleteFor food you should try Ubiq Chip and Stravaigin.
Sorry I cannot help with the hair stylist!
I moved to Glasgow a few years ago and i love it here! Lots of great places to go out and a wide range of bars and restaurants - have no fear, you'll enjoy it! Byres Road in the West End of the city is great for cafes/restaurants, and Ashton Lane (just off it) is the perfect place for drinks or dinner with an array of bars side by side. It also has The Grosvenor Cinema which is a great alternative to bigger chains, with a choice of couches or huge seats and cocktails to take in with you. Id recommend the food at Bar Soba and the Hanoi Bike shop (give them a google..) also along Byres Road. The centre is also very active, lots of different clubs just depends what kind of nights you're looking for. And if all else fails the Corinthian Club is a fancy restaurant/casino bar that does amazing cocktails and food. The shopping probably isn't quite London standard but it's also pretty good! x
DeleteLook for "I know a great little place in Glasgow" on Twitter/Facebook. You'll find lots of suggestions for great local places to eat.
DeleteLove your hair and dress here Rosie, looks like a fantastic night out!
Thank you to both of you! I've had a google of everywhere you've recommended and it looks great!
DeleteWhat a beautiful looking gallery! I love the dress, you are a real lady in red stunner!

Been meaning to try uber, thanks for the code but for some reason the app won't let me save my card details and I tried 2 different cards!
ReplyDeleteThis event looks amazing! I love the red dress/black tights combo - February is punishing on pasty pins! xx
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks like a really cool place! I should definitely visit it someday! :)
ReplyDeleteAlmost forgot to say that you look fantastic! <3

Why did you wear the dress with leggings?
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie! I didn't know if you or anyone else was in a loved up mood still after Valentine's Day but I most definitely am, and I wrote a blog post about how I got together with my guy - it's interesting how things work out!
ReplyDeletehttp://singleinparis.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-post-about-ben.html
hmmm you make me want to go on a local search in my area for a cool looking bar/art gallery...that may be in my weekend plans
ReplyDeletewww.caseyslife365.blogspot.com
Aside from your lovely pictures I was thrilled to see my little hometown of St. Paul listed among all the world-class cities that Uber serves! Maybe this means other people are starting to think as highly of it as I do?! You'd love it Rosie...beautiful outdoor forests and lakes, plenty of art and music, and the most amazing cheese-stuffed hamburgers you'll have in your life.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder where you store your camera while partying!
ReplyDeleteBut this seemes to be an amazing place to visit! :)
Oh yes, please do a makeup post soon :)
ReplyDeleteLooks so good! xx
ReplyDeletethemusingsofateenagemind.blogspot.co.uk/
The art is wonderful! I especially like the one of the girl & guy kissing...do you know if anything from the artists is available for sale online? (I'm in Canada)
ReplyDeleteI love how sexual your posts are without being obvious, it makes it even more sexual!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you saw your website on the homepage!! I would be so flattered to have something like that happen to me!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great night. More importantly, your friend in the NY Yankees hat is SO good-looking! :)

ReplyDeleteYour blog is amazing! Not too long ago I visited London and remember reading your work in the hotel room for the first time. You're an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the event was great fun! All of your outfits were fantastic, especially the red dress with the exaggerated heart-shaped neckline and the white midi dress with the asymmetrical top.

I reallyyy wanted to add your Facebook under my "people who inspire me" or "interests" sections on my page, but… I couldn't and the only "The Londoner" Facebook page that was an option was a restaurant/pub page (I know. It was an annoying internet moment). Just a little fyi that this blog belongs in those categories on my Facebook even though it is not actually listed there, and I thoroughly enjoy reading about your adventures in life! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for keeping it real!
Wow, that looks like a cool event -- and what an awesome location!!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in your little red dress!
I really also love London for its art 'supply'; and even Graffiti art is so famous, I guess Banksy's famous overseas as well!
Love from Germany

Hahaha loved the Uber message when you enter the promo code... "Greetings friend of Rosie". Thanks for that though!! Just made my Prom budget manageable :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome about seeing your blog homepage in the cab! You say they service San Fran eh? I'll have to give them a go one night.
ReplyDeleteSo...I have been wondering. How on earth do you keep your boobs in and looking fantastic by the way, in a dress like that? Are you wearing a strapless backless bra...or pasties? I hope you don't mind the question, I just feel like a dress like that would be tricky to wear.
{ Ellies Wonder }
I was just wondering how you get your pictures to move like that on your blog?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much :O)

Thank you for this! Going to a friend's Birthday party in South Kensington next week (I am a mum now so my 'outings' don't happen as often as they used to) and I will definitely use Uber! X
ReplyDeleteI am taking an Uber cab tomorrow on your recommendation. It looks like their area of operation is a little outside of my location but the app allows me to request a cab so I hope it will work.

I was so excited to try Uber after hearing so many good things about it and your promo code was a bonus but it doesn't work in the States :(
