Thanks, that is actually pretty helpful. I have a pal (equally obsessed) in the UK, so perhaps London is the way to go.
Also have looked at the Vogue Fashion Weekend they have done the past few years (Brit Vogue) at one of the huge London venues. Sells out very quickly, but tickets can be had.....and there is always scalping if one MUST see a particular event.
We just kinda want to be Edina and Pats (our bad girl roll models) for a day, walk around with a bottle of champers, etc. ;' ) Even though we both worked on the edge of fashion in our younger days (we were far more Andy than Miranda!) but morphed into the nice Mom's who volunteered for everything. Now, we basically throw some benefits and watch our DH's of many years brag about their golf games!
