    Alexa Chung hosted a stylish soirée at Liberty to mark the debut of her book It and partied with famous faces including Daisy Lowe, Henry Holland and Pixie Geldof

    Alexa Chung hosted a stylish soirée at Liberty to mark the debut of her book It and partied with famous faces including Daisy Lowe, Henry Holland and Pixie Geldof.

    The presenter, DJ, model, writer and style icon launched her first book - a collection of personal insights about her style influences, which includes her drawings and photographs - Wednesday evening wearing a sweetly romantic Carven dress with a blue and black lace off-the-shoulder bodice and brown satin circle skirt.

    A vintage clasp handbag and black suede loafers accessorised the ensemble, and Alexa wore her hair in a slightly unkempt-yet-still-elegant updo.

    The day before the book launch at Liberty London, Alexa nervously tweeted:
