Ten years of Fashion Foie Gras: A Look Back at the 50 Most Memorable Moments

Tomorrow marks the official decade of Fashion Foie Gras's existence. If you want a real laugh, go back 11,918 posts to read the very first one. Yes, by the end of this year, I will have written 12,000+ blogposts. How is that even possible? Well, I'll tell you how it's possible... I didn't sleep for three years, filling this blog with posts every hour on the hour. These days, the blog posts are fewer, but the work time remains the same, with the invention of four different and additional epically sized social media platforms. I've had ups and downs over the years. I've wondered if I wanted to keep FFG around. I've pondered my position in the new world of celebrity influencers. But, I still wake up every morning excited about what Fashion Foie Gras has meant to me, what it's given me, and all I've given to it. 

I've always said that when that goes, it's time to shut up shop and try my hand at something new. But that's enough about that kind of talk. What I wanted to do was look back at what ten years in the business of blogging looks like. I thought I'd share my top 50 moments, out of 11,000+. Each and every post I'm sharing below, I'm discovering all over again. It's amazing how much can change in ten years. But, for me, each and every post shared herewith is a moment I'm proud of and will never forget. So here we go... (and just in case I forget to say it in closing, thank you for sticking with me for this past decade. It's been a crazy ride hasn't it?) fire up the time machine and let's start from the beginning....

Gap Denim Pop-up Customisation in London: Walk don't run... get there now!

Ladies and gents, if you are in London in the month of September, you absolutely must get to Soho and here's why - Gap have launched a popup to celebrate 50 years in the business of denim. The store features highlights from the 1969 Premium Denim Collection, but also showcases designs through the decades. It's like a shoppable museum, but there's a twist. In this Gap pop-up, it's all about customisation and it's available for new or preowned Gap denim. Here's all you need to know...

Style Update: Floral, stripes and animal print, oh my...

I once had a lady stop me on the streets of London and proclaim, "It's so wonderful how you feel empowered to mix and match without a care in the world." I said, "thank you" and walked away with a spring in my step. Although, about fifteen seconds later it dawned on me that the compliment might have been anything but. I took a minute to reassess and came to the conclusion that people in this world only stop you to say nice things, right? Well, we all know that isn't the case on social media... far from it. However, I do believe people, in person at least, are more likely to compliment than criticise. Am I crazy to think that? I hope not. But, here I am getting off the topic entirely. When it comes to prints, this outfit, in particular, packs a powerful punch.

Seven days of style: What I wore last week

Above: Llama Dress

That glow you see is a sweat. No, really. It was a scorcher last week in London. Looks like summer decided to make a quick reappearance, to the delight of us all. I can't remember a bank holiday weekend with sun for as far back as my mind serves me. So, out came the legs, and along with them the self tanner. I'm going to make the most of my summer 2019 wardrobe before it's time to pack it away and pull out the chunky sweaters. So, if I'm slightly orange, it's simply because I was a little too excited about the aforementioned sun and decided to grab the darkest tan from the pharmacy shelves without testing first. The end result is a bit punchy, but I'm working with it. Enjoy a look back at an impromptu summer wardrobe.
