This weekend I was in search of a serious style fix, so I hopped aboard London’s DLR and headed out to the Excel Centre to experience the first ever Britain’s Next Top Model Live.
As I tottered on to the train, dressed to impress is some rather regrettably towering platforms it quickly became clear that I was not the only one seeking a slice of the model life. The train was absolutely teeming with fashionistas - all dressed to the nines and all hungry for a piece of the fashion pie.
And the vast exhibition hall was certainly chocker with treats: from the rails of vintage wares with surprisingly purse friendly price tags, to the rather fabulously named Powder Room where the London College of Beauty were offering free treatments.
Celebrity hair stylist Adee Phelan was there, scissors in hand, slicing and dicing countless gals’ tresses in to styled perfection.
The divine Emma Willis was also on hand to interview Britain’s Next Top Model host and ex-Calvin Klein model Charley Speed on the Kiss Open Catwalk and there were performances from Diana Vickers, Eliza Doolittle and singing sensation Jessie J to wow the crowds.
Members of the public were even given the chance to strut their stuff in front of a panel of fashion and beauty scouts at the Models 1 Casting Couch.
And there were countless Q&A sessions and trend talks being given by the likes of beauty blogging luminaries Pixiwoo and Gemma Cartwright, the former editor-in-chief of CatwalkQueen.tv

But the biggest highlight was undoubtedly the catwalk show itself, which saw finalists from the latest series of BNTM walking in an epic extravaganza that was peppered with awesome dance routines which slickly complemented the sound track of killer tunes.
I can’t deny it, I was in a girly paradise, but after all hours of running about, I just could not wait to get out of my shoes! x
