Kissing, Katrantzou, and Kanye.

OK, first of all I should point out that none of the 3 subjects in the title are connected. I have not been kissing Mary Katrantzou or Kanye West, and I'm pretty sure the two of them haven't been kissing either. Anyway, last Sunday I told my love/enemy Wine that we were over for good and I was moving on, and I was so very sure I would be sticking to it. Unfortunately 4 days later whilst out on a 1 year friendship anniversary with the Stewster, I accidentally drank a whole bottle of rose. And when I say accidentally I do of course mean I knew full well what I was getting myself into. Very quickly I started to remember the reason for my giving it up as once under it's influence I accidentally kissed a random French man. The same rules apply to the 'accidently' in this scenario. In all honesty it was a harmless act as part of my wing man role (Stewart liked the French guys friend) and it's not like I'll ever see him again as he's going back to France today. No damage done, let's just forget it and move on shall we?

Onto today, and what a random and slightly crazy day it was. First up we had the launch of the fantastic Mary Katrantzou capsule collection for Topshop, which had every girl in the office frantic and hyperactive as they dashed off to Oxford Circus to grab some of these limited pieces. And the collection was simply amazing, with some of the most fantastic prints I've seen. It was one of those (very, very incredibly) rare occasions when I wish I could wear women's clothes, and seeing all the Topshop ladies with all their fancy new items made me jealous and wanting to buy myself new things too. The lovely Alice picked up the amazing print leggings which you can see to the left, and I know she is going to rock them next week. Can't wait!

So then, onto the afternoon and it was Kanye West fever at Topshop HQ. Why? Oh, just because he decided to come and make a little appearance and send the whole office into hysteria. And who was it that escorted him from one side of the building to our brand director's office? Yep, it was me, However I wish the full story was as cool as this sounds. I was minding my own business sitting at my desk slightly zoned out, partly due to the wine hangover, partly as I'd not long eaten and feeling a little sluggish, and partly because I was actually rather busy (it does happen sometimes). A random woman and two guys come up to our team and ask to be shown to the brand director's office. I reply "yeah sure, why don't I take you there", having not given the two guys even a fleeting glance, and off I stroll, cool as an iced cucumber and completely oblivious to the fact that Kanye West and Sir Philip Greens son are trailing behind. On the buying floor the girls were all flustered and practically sweating with excitement, which I did think was odd but I had people to deliver, no time for messing around. Once my entourage were safely in the office I asked a colleague what was going on and she told me Kanye West was here to which I replied something to the effect of: "Oohh that's exciting! Where is he?!". After a pause and a confused look she informed me that he had just been behind me, time slowed down for a second and the penny dropped. Bugger. Anyway, I loitered around the buying floor for a while until he came back out and so did get a proper look at him, so it wasn't a complete disaster, but hilarious nonetheless. And once again poor Vikki missed out on a celebrity spot! One day Vikki, one day!! So, just another day in the office then...

That is all.
