MOTEL HONOLULU AT LIBERTY...

For Vogue's Fashion Night Out, Liberty invited me to do something in store. We had a chat a while back...

Liberty: "So Lulu got any ideas you fancy doing in-store?"

Me: "Oh, I dunno...how about a Motel Honolulu with grass skirts and rum cocktails or something fun like that?"

And amazingly, that's exactly what Liberty created. Dream come true!

It's the day of the party. Got my nails specially did at Wah. Love them!


...and tried on a few beautiful Maarten van der Horst Hawaiian print shirts to wear. Popped  on some Roksanda heels, grabbed my Simone Rocha perspex clutch, and headed out the door...
Arrived at Liberty and had the most brilliant pit-stop pedi at their Margaret Dabbs Sole Spa (ask for Ellie - she's the fastest and friendliest in town!) then legged it upstairs to the 2nd floor where the party was in full swing with Dj Sloanie cranking out the tunes from his bamboo beach hut. God help us all!
Loving the grass skirts displays and rum cocktails served in coconuts..
Our Lulu & Co collection was so beautifully displayed, I got kind of overwhelmed. I loved meeting shoppers and getting their reaction to the collection and introudcing them to the designers in person. It was crazy mobbed all night!

Here's Tania in the House of Jazz maxi Domino dress, and Jasmine Guiness hugging the smaller Domino dress!

Aloha babe! Sharmandean looking hot in a flower garland..
She had the minx exclusives Marc Jacobs had made for Fashion's Night Out...
Bag envy! Jo's blue patent rucksack by Richard Nicoll for Fred Perry...

Here's Rich Nicoll, with Stella mag's Charlie Harrington and Love's Vic Young. Cuties!

Total babes Jonny Saunders and Martine Rose...

..the Hawaiian photo booth at the end of the night...err...chaos!
Home time for the incredible Kate Brindley and me...feet are killing but superhappy...
As I left the building I came across this surreal sight...we're in the window!! OMG..how BRILLIANT! Completely in awe of Libertys...what a store and what a night..

Massive thank you to Liberty and to everyone who came down and shopped, lovely to meet you all xx
