So it's no secret that LFW begins next week kick starting with Vogue's Fashion's Night Out tonight - I'll be in the scrum at the Chanel manicure booth as I want to test out the new denim colours! And I'll be sampling the free drinks of course, although I doubt anything will top the dee-licious LOW CAL Russian Standard Bloody Mary I had recently...
If you're more about Fashionable Nights In at the moment (what's with this windy weather?) then I don't blame you. Make your own canapés, get the cocktails flowing and invite your crew over. Here are some very sexy cocktail recipes to be enjoyed, indoors (or outdoors, weather permitting) with friends.
