Luella's addiction

I have a problem. Thanks to 3mobilebuzz, I have become addicted to tweeting. Frankie from Swell Vintage held a competition to accompany her to Somerset House to "Tweet from the catwalk" at London Fashion Weekend and I won. This meant that I got to play around with an INQ Mobile for a bit. And now, I am addicted to tweeting, twitpicing and being a general nuisance. I am a total technophobe (LJ will still not let me live down the time I tried to call my cousin in Australia on Skype) and I can actually work this phone. And it is red and looks slick.
Read Frankie's post about it on her blog. She took lots of great pictures..
The day was so fun. All the bloggers were awesome (new friends made, kerching!). We shopped, we chatted, we ate, we shopped some more, we ate some more.

But I also have a new addiction. Everyone knows about the sad Luella story. So, us bloggers decided to try rescue her, ie by buying a bag each and in my case a tshirt as well.
This is Luella's army. (Photo thanks to Natasha with the awesome vintage site)

Let me introduce my new friend to you. (Picture of me and the bag from Frankie).

And this is my tee. I love how she makes a monster seem cute.

Thanks again to the lovely Michelle and Siobhan from 1000heads and 3mobilebuzz and Sarah from 3mobile for such a fantastic day. I have got the major jones for these ladies and we have basically been tweeting all day about our next date. #freetwitteron3

Peace, fi xx

OHMIGOD FI! That bag is gorgeous! Is it a clutch? Wow. I had a quick look on Frankies blog and it's so sad to see a whole rail of Luella clothes and knowing that they were marked down super cheap.

Looks like you had an awesome time with fellow bloggers!

I didn't know about Luella...is she an AU designer?

InnyVinny said...

That bag is amazing. Just amazing.

SOS! said...

April Marie- Luella was a fantastic British designer pegged as the next saviour of British fashion. Unfortunately, her company went bust and now Luella is no more. SO these bags are like a piece of fashion history!
