Spot the reality star in the run up.

 The run up to Christmas brings lots of merriment whether at work or play.  Check out the cast and set at "Studio 54" St Albans.  The set, as camp as Christmas itself, the cast all very camera happy myself included!

Leanne and Charlotte

The boys. Tom,Luke, Denny and Stefan



We have bendy Tamzen, Fire mistress Emma and Tumbler Becky. All put me to shame with their skills!

  So I battled the snow in my wellies managing not to look like a crazy snow Yetty yay!  It was an impromptu visit to "Dancers do drinks" at Cafe De Paris after my last show.  I had a fabulous time darling.  Lots of dancers reality stars and the like all very West End which I haven't done for a while.

Now as I have said it was impromptu so yes I'm in a t-shirt and pants but they are my favorite. Disco pant from American Apparel and an early ClaudMarVon t-shirt so I was still representing!

Andrew Stone from "Pineapple Studio".

Fun Times

Hey y'all, I've have and a very enjoyable week.  Schmoozing with the glitterati at Koko and doing a bit of official styling for an advert.  Feeling very happy with myself, yeah I know a little annoying but I'm a strong believer in basking in the good feeling when it's around!



Justin Lee Collins and I.



 Corporate gig for Glen co at Koko. 70's madness and some funnies with Justin Lee Collins.

Snow Yetty!

As most of the world now know we had a bit of snow here in blighty last week.  Near my home it was around a 7".  It was a very pretty sight but we couldn't handle it.  The we I speak of is Britain. Everything shut down, schools, trains, planes.  I personally found it all very amusing as I worked from home for the beginning of the week then around Wednesday I had to venture out and pick up costumes for the Underwraps Christmas show I am helping style.  Now I'm a person that doesn't like being cold so I pulled out the big guns.  Home made knitted wool hat (cream), faux fur jacket with hood (rusty brown), wool legging(grey), thermals underwear, woolly socks(cream) and to keep the wet slushy snow out my old faithful red wellies with white stars on.  I know it all sounds a bit much right? I agree but it was cold and snowing and I did try and tie in colours and keep them neutral. Cerfice to say I looked like a snow Yetty.  So off I went on a buying mission to the West End but alas no more than 30 minutes away from my lovely suburban home there was no snow! Oxford street was full of fashionista's still wearing their heels and Capes arms exposed with their hair in top knots not a woolly hat in sight.  I did get a few strange looks form these amazing looking chicks but whatever darlings the South of London was a snowy hazards of a place so there!  And no there are know pictures of me as a Yetty because there is just no need to expose myself to the world.

This girl must have traveled in from my neck of the woods.

Cool Sherlock Holmes coat.

Found a few cute bits while watching the snow fall outside.

Alaia boots. To cute.

Jimmy Choo Uggs.  Very tempting!

Rachel Gilbert dress. Love this so simply but elegant.

We Are Handsome one piece. I just love anything with animals on it.

Flying visit

Last week.  Quick trip to Fujairah for some work, sun and fun.  Then a little assisting  an amazing stylist Luann Sampson for the X Factor,  The Wanted don't you know. Straight back down to earth with a big old bump as dancing at Clapham Grand will do for you.  I've not hung up my dancing shoes yet but I tell ya this fingers in all sorts of pies is fun!



Quick stop to see Make up artiste extraordinaire Ideta Kimso at Mac.  Airport outfit high waisted wide leg trousers Topshop.



 Three ladies three dresses.



Orange suede one shoulder dress Asos.  Shoes Topshop.



Leanne Everitt in cute black and white number.



Charlotte Chapman in Monsoon dress



Last glimse of sun for a few months. Sad face.

Rehearsal studio for The Wanted dancers.







Out of this chaos came perfect styling from Luann.



So this week I have to style a Christmas 70's show for Underwraps.  Wish me luck people because it's not as easy as a pair of flares and an afro!

DON'T WASTE THE PRETTY!x











I'm no Crusty!

Briony looking fresh and cool first thing in the morning.  Cool Britannia

Peeps I've had a full week of rehearsing so all I've seen are dancer and the like but boy are we a cute fashionable bunch! Dance Attic not the most glamours of studios but full to brim of Stars fabulous dancers, choreographers, agents eccentric owners and much more.  So one week at Dance Attic. Cse dancers, Peter Andre and tour dancers (along with hairdresser brother), Underwraps doing various Christmas shows, Kylie and her prettier than pretty dancers and a whole load of Nintendo choreography! Probably missed a few but hey ho

Loving all hats right now. River Island job.

Looking cool in her hat

Woolly warmers. Socks from Topshop, American Apparel Disco pants faithful Mou boots and Primark special ear warmer and jumper (got to keep it real).

 I've always thought that it was just Crusty's that did all of those circus acts, for example fire breathing, angle grinding and stilts but I had the opportunity to have a try at a Push Production workshop and to be honest I quite enjoyed it.  I'm not going to give up my day job just yet but watch this space for ClaudMarVon circus act extraordinaire very soon (sike).

A dear friend of mine commissioned a skirt this week.  It was very simple to make but the fabric was gorgeous so made it special.  Hope she enjoys wearing it.

I Rock!

Ok so if I'm honest last week wasn't the most inspiring UNTIL I turn over to ITV2 Gossip Girl.  Now I've always been a fan but found I could never really relate to the styling until season 4.  Every episode I've seen something has caught my eye and made me want to put on an outfit and flounce yes I said it flounce around London town.  Take a look at my faves.

Sorry Blair it's all about Serena right now

Loving this dress by Zuhair Murad.  Grey lace, beautiful.



Check out Serena's cuff! Love,  love , love

I loved this cuff so much but couldn't find it anywhere so I went on the prowl on the high street for a version.  This is what I found, not identical but cute.

Last but by no means least "Black Girls Rock" BET awards ceremony was amazing.  Granted I didn't know every person on the show but it was very inspiring.  Would love something similar in Britain!  All they needed was a little styling from ClaudMarVon and it would have been perfect!

DON'T WASTE THE PRETTY!x

Fashion free

The last week dare I say it has been almost fashion free.  Obviously I've dressed myself and very well even if I do say so myself but as far as events go it's been more about culture and the arts and not me shark eying everybody!

Among other random events I went to see a bit of fringe theatre at "The Lord Stanley" in Camden.  Two short plays directed by Victor Sobchak, "The Terrorist and the Whore" and "The Women of the Tomb".  I am not a critic so all I will say is go and watch it for yourself.  I enjoyed both plays and will probably go and see them again.  Then it was off Covent Garden to listen to an acoustic set from the one and only Samuel Hartman Wilcock, full on sing along.



Cast members including Leanne Everitt (far right)





Cast members Janine Ulfane, Adan Creegan and Leanne Everitt

Leanne and Sam



And then on the opposite end of the culture spectrum was Tarrus Riley and David Rodigan at o2 Shepherds Bush.  It was a free event for all o2 customers and the place was packed.  Such a good vibe, all sorts of people and ages.  Had an amazing time.  I may even go and buy me some Roots Reggae music but the likely hood is I'll buy shoes!
