Yesterday, Pixie attended Vogue’s Fashion Night Out and was seen leaving the after party at Mahiki nightclub.

You can read below a short interview with Pixie by Daily Mail.

Pixie Lott joined the party at Moschino on the arm of model boyfriend Oliver Cheshire.

The 21-year-old singer had come straight from a shoot for her new perfume, which will be released later this month.

‘My new perfume will have a self title, but the next one will be called something special,’ she said.

Speaking about her music career she revealed: ‘I have just started on my next album so that’s my focus. I have been doing lots of writing session, I can’t wait.

‘I’m going to New York in a couple of weeks to finish it off. It’s more of a souly motown thing so I am really excited about it.’

And there could even be some fashion collaborations in the pipelines for the blonde songstress who found fame with her best-selling Mamma Do single.

‘I have had a few fashion meetings lately but it’s too early to speak too soon. There are a few things in the pipeline I might be working on but my main focus will always be the music,’ she said.

As an avid fan of Moschino, Pixie will be attending the show in Fashion Week.

She said: ‘I am going to a couple of the shows next week. I love Moschino, I wear them all the time.

‘I was so excited to come down today and look at all the new stuff, I remember I went to the show in February and it was my favourite one, it’s always really classy and quirky at the same time.’

Pixie told MailOnline she was having a ‘really fun night out’ and ‘just loved’ her flirty outfit by Moschino.

Pixie and her boyfriend later carried on the party with friends at local haunt Mahiki, one of the star’s regular hangouts.

The line-up for our brand new show exec-produced by Rihanna, Styled To Rock, has been announced – and it’s one heck of an A-list affair.

Well, if you’re pop’s hottest, you’re sure to have a few famous friends knocking about.

Cheryl Cole, Katy Perry, Pixie Lott, Rizzle Kicks, Little Mix, Katy B, The Saturdays, Scissor Sisters, Tinchy Stryder and Little Boots are all taking part in our brand-spanking star-studded fashion extravaganza.

The celeb guests will be testing the 12 contestants to the limit with their own design briefs for unique outifts they’ll wear for performances, press events and photo shoots.

And this isn’t your only treat.

Calvin Harris has created and produced the title music, and celeb hair guru Nicky Clarke is working his magic creating some striking hairdos for the show.

All this under the watchful eye of mentors Henry Holland, Nicola Roberts and superstar stylist Lysa Cooper.

Pretty damn impressive, eh?

Great holidays…

Which was your best holiday?

Every year since I was very small, my family – Mum, Dad, sister Charlie-Ann and brother Stephen – and I have been holidaying in Carvoeiro in the Algarve, so that has very fond memories for me. My uncle has a villa there, so for several years we stayed there. Now we tend to rent villas because the family has grown bigger with associated boyfriends and girlfriends. We love a beach called Caneiros and often go to a fish restaurant called Rei das Praias, which does great food – they show you the fish before they cook it.

I grew up singing in a karaoke bar in Carvoeiro called the Round Up Saloon, and even now, when we go back, I will recognise the same faces and people. I’ve just come back from a 10-day break there and it would be nice to own a property in the area one day.

And the best hotel you’ve stayed in?

The Coworth Park, in Ascot. I played in two charity polo events in May and stayed there. It was fabulous, with beautiful, lovely grounds and I went for a bike ride during some downtime. I also had a fabulous massage and pedicure in the spa. I really couldn’t speak more highly about it: the food was wonderful and the service was exceptional.

What do you need for a perfect holiday?

Time to relax, have fun, not do very much and just enjoy being with my friends and family.

What do you always take with you?

My iPod – completely essential. I would be lost without my music. I love to play it loudly by the pool. I also take a little notebook to get lyric ideas for the studio. If I am staying in a villa, I will always pack PG Tips, Alpen breakfast-sized boxes, and salad cream – I am rather fond of the latter.

What’s your best piece of travel advice?

Always wear sun cream, and take mosquito spray with you. Having a mum to organise you is quite useful, too – I’m really disorganised.

Everything is done at the last minute, so I tend to throw everything I can think of into a suitcase, frequently far more than I need, and just run for the airport. Having a text arriving, with: “Have you got your passport, contact lenses?” at the right time is very useful.

Where do you want to go next?

I would really love to go to Thailand as so many people have told me how wonderful it is.

I love to ski, so I’d like to go to Verbier, in Switzerland, because we haven’t been there yet. I’m also keen to go the Maldives, and to Hawaii.

… and disasters?

Which was your worst holiday?

I was about 14, when my family and our friends, the O’Grady family, booked a skiing holiday in Puy St Vincent, France. The resort was very high up in the mountains and when we arrived it was absolutely freezing. All the roads were iced up. Every time we got in the car we had to put our snow tyres on, which was a big palaver, and travelling around the area was a nightmare.

The whole holiday was uncomfortably tense – my parents, who were driving, were very concerned about our safety as the roads were so treacherous.

And your worst experience on holiday?

It was on the aforementioned ski holiday. Early on during our stay, when my dad was driving, the car literally teetered over the edge of the cliff – the road was just cut into the mountain so there were no safety barriers at all.

I clearly remember opening the passenger door in order to jump out – I was on the inside of the road – in an instinctive reaction. My dad said it was divine intervention that somehow the car slid back on the road and we avoided falling off the cliff. I remember screaming and our friends, who were in the back, being totally shocked.

What’s the biggest packing mistake you’ve made?

When I was 15, I went to New York for work and forgot my contact lenses. I’m really quite blind, I can’t see anything without them, or my glasses. Luckily some friends were joining me out there, so my dad could arrange for someone to take some over.

Which is the worst hotel you’ve stayed in?

My family and I were having a break in Cyprus and had booked accommodation in Paphos for a couple of nights. This was when I was about six years old. The villa my mum had booked was just terrible; the bed sheets were stained, the mosquito nets had holes in them. There were lots of insects crawling in the drawers, everywhere smelt bad, and the furniture was poor. It was so bad we even made a family video of it.

What do you avoid on holiday?

I avoid getting up early, as I have to do that for work. I love to sleep and have a nice lie in. Sometimes I switch my phone off, sometimes not – I like to stay in touch with my friends but I also like to enjoy the fact I am on holiday.

What do you hate about holidays?

Very little because I live for holidays. Perhaps missing people at home as I love my London life. I would also miss performing and being in the studio if I went away for too long.

Pixie Lott is going back to her soul roots for her third album.

The 21-year-old, whose last No 1 single All About Tonight saw her dabble in dancefloor filling, is calling in the big wigs.

Pix told me: “I’m going to be heading to New York to work with the guys who did the original Motown records in the sixties to make a new album soon. I’ve also been working on a new perfume.”

Ahh, the sweet smell of success.

Daily Star

Thousands of fans who braved the rain to watch Pixie Lott headline the Bristol Jubilee Concert at The Mall at Cribbs Causeway donated more than £10,000 to charity in return for their tickets.

Donations went towards ‘A Life for a Cure’, Bristol teenager Ryan Bresnahan’s Meningitis Appeal.

The money will be used to research a vaccine to fight meningitis B, which sadly killed the 16-year-old in just two hours.

As well as making a voluntary £1 donation whilst collecting their free ticket to the concert, fans were also able to donate £2 in exchange for a limited edition wrist band.

After a moving speech from the Bresnahan family, the crowd were encouraged to send free text donations to the charity throughout the concert.

Maria Crayton, head of marketing at The Mall at Cribbs Causeway said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who made a donation to ‘a Life for a Cure’ both during the concert and at our ticket giveaways. These generous donations mean that we are able to exceed the target of £10,000 for ‘a Life for a Cure’.”
