Vogue’s FNO: Bally and Georg Jensen

Confession: This week’s Vogue’s Fashion Night Out was my first one. I wanted to go last year, but due to my travel plans I was actually on the plane from London to Singapore, missing both FNO and also the Sydney one. So when I realised I was going to be in town this year I thought I better go and check it out. 

The city was buzzing with enthusiastic shoppers. After all, Miranda Kerr was present, as well as Christine Centenera. I managed to sneak in visits to two shops - Bally and Georg Jensen. Why? First of all, Bally invited me to go and check out the exclusive ballet flats launched on the night. Bally is a brand I grew up knowing is an exclusive (read: expensive) one, but I thought I’d go and pretend that I belong amongst the beautiful things. Okay, maybe it’s not really that bad - I was too scared to ask for the price of this beautiful mint green croc bag. One point if you can tell me how much it costs, more points if you buy it for me.

The exclusive ballet pair launched on FNO. Pretty and preppy!

Between Bally and Georg Jensen, my friend Angel and I sneaked in a happy snap! I wore a dress by Mika and Gala via Princess Polly, Georg Jensen Heritage 2012 earrings, vintage Oroton scarf as belt via Coco Repose, and my reliable Cambridge Satchel Company bag

And… now to Georg Jensen. Why did I pay them a visit? Well, I’m a fan. A big fan. Their Fusion rings are on the top of the wanted list, probably just second to a Proenza Schouler bag. I knew it was going to be a big mistake going there and trying on those beautiful rings on my finger.. I think I’m going to have to save up. Hard.

Georg Jensen invited two fashion bloggers Monique from SneakyPeek and Jasmine Howell from FriendInFashion to style attendants in beautiful Georg Jensen pieces. It was a good opportunity to try on the pieces and ask questions about the best way to wear them. There were some very fascinating pieces like The Moonlight Grapes shoulder accessories. Very old Hollywood, very glamorous..

Look at that face that screams out “Oooohh!!!! Shiny things!”

Boyfriend was more interested in his champagne than listening to me squealing over the Fusion rings.

The watch boyfriend wants.

The Moonlight Grapes pendant.. sigh!

Styled by SneakyPeek! Sadly enough, only the GJ earrings actually belong to me. The pendant and ring were some pieces I tried on.

I was actually impressed by Georg Jensen’s collaboration with the two fashion bloggers. Such collaboration is common in the UK and USA - bloggers would actually host the FNO in stores! Who knows, maybe one day yours truly can get involved in FNO? Hey, hey, one can dream…
