More liked postsThe inaugural Cash and Rocket on a Roadtrip.. road trip!!
I’m beyond excited and honoured to be taking part in the first ever Cash and Rocket on a Roadtrip event coming up June 7th-10th.
Supporting the massively important charity, RED, this event is bringing together women(and ONLY women!!) from the worlds of fashion, music, business, art and film to raise funds and support this global cause. And, have a great time whilst doing it!!
Our itinerary starts in central London to Paris, on to Milan and finishes in Monaco; and would not be a proper ‘chick trip’ without a drive-in viewing of Thelma and Louise!
I think the footage from this trip will show how us girls know how to have a great time whilst doing our bit to help those most in need.
For more information on Cash and Rocket on a Roadtrip and RED please go towww.cashandrocket.com.
Watch this space for updates( and tweets!) along the road… of course, sporting my favourite pieces from Tallulah and Hope, Chic and Seek, Gur, Jasper Conran, Brooke Gregson and The Collective kimonos, of course!
Ready..Set… GO!!!
