When it’s good, Brit style is so very, very good: whimsical and daring and polished in equal measure. So is it any wonder that the fashionista-studded Net-A-Porter 10th Birthday Party at London’s Westfield was a style bonanza? (Okay, with kneesocks…)
Jacquetta Wheeler makes the short-short/flat sandals/unstructured jacket thing look effortless. (It’s not!)

Okay, I friggin’ love Sophie Ellis-Bextor AND her style and my British friends give me all kinds of flack for it, so…yeah. Save it. And I also like mumsy 70s-inflected florals! Defiance!
Amber Le Bon’s dress is like a curtain rising on a really hokey show. Did I ever tell you about the time I was working in a restaurant and “Rio” was playing and this crazy lady came in and backed me into a corner and told me that the Le Bon family were all devil worshipers and Duran Duran’s music was disseminating sinister evil messages to the world, and needed to be stopped?

I did warn you there would be kneesocks. Maybe Gemma Arterton‘s going to play an impromptu game of footie?
