The perks of the job...

Since joining the hallowed team at MirrorMirror, they have been getting vast amounts of press coverage for their delicious bath melts. At the moment, that's all I seem to be wrapping... That and some serious bling for some men (presumably for the women in their lives, but hey, I'm open to all fashions!)

A very satisfying perk of the job has been a few invitations to launches and events surrounding current and potential suppliers of the website. My best friend and I were lucky enough to attend the launch of beautiful handbag designer Amishi at Annabel's in Berkley Square on Wednesday night...

Queue naked ladies painted to match the handbags perched in their palms (the Boy and her Boy were not a little unimpressed when they heard about this later), copious free champagne, perched and nibbling on canapes at the bar, and then later enveloped in the opulent velvet sofas (when I finally had to admit defeat in the fact of some fiercesome stiletto onslaught). Though the handbags were gloriously decadent, they were a bit glitzy for my taste: jaw-dropping amounts of Swarovski Crystals and the like. On the right person restrained enough to wear a black evening dress and let the bag do the talking (sadly not me), they would be truly sensational...

To top off the schmoozing, we were given a goodie bag on the way out. We climbed the staircase back into Berkley Square, elegant, poised and a little tipsy, and immediately dived to the bench in the nearest bus shelter to see what goodies awaited us.

Aren't we lucky girls?!
