It is not all work at AF, sometimes we do get out and about to have a bit of playtime and with the festive season upon us it seemed the perfect time to check out the festive fashions in London.

Annie, Debbie, Jacky and myself (Becky) headed to London for a night out. First stop Coal Drop Yard at Kings Cross. This area is all part of the regeneration of Kings Cross and home to some fabulous retailers.

Both in the shops, and on people walking around, comfort was definitely key. Chunky sweaters, trainers and cuban heeled boots were everywhere. Wool coats in all sorts of colours probably outnumbered puffa jackets.

But glamour hadn’t disappeared all together. Sequins were teamed with jeans and statement jewellery was adorned by many. Chandelier earrings and art deco rings were noticeable.

Second stop was a glass of something fizzy and the rest, as they say, is history.
