WANG IN THE LOO






The most amazing new campaign for Alexander Wang SS'14.

Shot in the grimiest of public loos...and it still looks amazing! 

I want everything in this collection. Might just have to wait until the sales.

A FLASH OF LIGHT






Day 4 of London Fashion Week and my last day saw me braving the all white look. And let me tell you, when you're squashed on the tube surrounded by little people, its a nerve racking experience.

Thankfully my whites stayed white throughout my crazy busy day.

What I really want to say is how pretty are these boots?! 
Whistles finest and higher than my usual choice of footwear...after about 2 hours of walking around in them I caved in...and changed back into my AirMax. You can't say I didn't try!

Oh and this scarf was a genuine life saver (hence the reason you haven't seen me out of it!)

THE BEST OF THE REST









The best of the rest.

And what a glamorous rest they were.

These are just a few of my fav shots from LFW. The theme this season seemed to be dressing down. A lot of trainers and comfy jumpers topped off with amazing hats and bags, perfect for the weather than was anything other than great. 

Now all I can think about are those felt fedoras. Blue or black...blue or black...

A CHEEKY GRIN




A cheeky grin. Excuse the moody one in the middle.

This was day 3 of fashion week after I had just tried (and failed) to crash the Topshop Unique show. But I did watch it from an upstairs window at the Tate Modern which was pretty groovy.

This outfit was pretty perfect for the weather. Dark and moody but with the bright clutch to break it up. Oh and how sexy is the backdrop?! 

London you beauty.

DAY 4 WHITE OUT



Day 4, my final day. And what a way to round London Fashion Week off. Started with the gorgeous Huishan Zhang presentation at The Dorchester (sleeveless polo neck yes please!) and a yummy muffin.

Then it was to Fashion Scout where Zeynep Tosun produced the most perfect beanie hats I've ever seen! Pom-poms, leather peaks and in varying shades, the cream one was the one for me.

Finally to the David Koma show where he brought sexy back. Leather details, cut out panels and high hemlines were just a few of the accents that made Koma one of my fav shows.

Now I'm home, with my feet up sorting though all my photos. I've had the most amazing time, exhausting but fantastic!

I've got piccys of my outfits from the last two days that I'll be posting up here over the next few days so stay tuned.

For now, back to reality, uni and a student's life.

DAY 3 A BEAUTY




A couple of little snapshots from the Sunday of fashion week. And what a beauty it was. 

A lot of rushing around between Somerset House and Fashion Scout and the Topshop Show Space which was in the Tate Modern this year. 

It was the coolest space and I managed to squeeze into an upstairs space to watch it live (albeit from a birds eye view!) Pretty cool though. And saw a fair few amazingly dressed, gorgeous ladies. I have to say that Poppy Delevingne look beautiful today!

Up early tomorrow for presentations so I'm hoping for a clear day as taxis aren't really a student's thing and I've just washed my hair. So weather people if you wouldn't mind. Thanks.

DAY 2 MOODY BLUES




Day 2 of LFW...and I'm doing my best moody model impression in my really rather comfortable outfit of the day.

The sun finally came out so our amazing photographer managed to snap some piccys of me rushing between Somerset House and Fashion Scout for various shows. 

Another jam packed day beginning with Holly Fulton and ending with a lovely drinks reception in the showrooms. Here's to the mini burgers and endless champagne!

Bring it on Sunday. And please more sun and less wind!

DAY 1


Day 1 of London Fashion Week is complete as is Valentine's Day! And I hope you all had great days whether it was with a loved one or on the sofa in front of the TV.

Day 1 of fashion week was a killer. Rain and wind equalled really un enjoyable queuing happenings but the shows were awesome. Bora Aksu, Daks and the Haizhen Wang presentation. Not bad for a first day!

I did take some snaps but this one is going to have to do for the moment as I'm under contract by my paper so can't share them with you just yet! But just wait and see.

For now though it's bed time. Need to prepare myself for the hurricane force winds I'll no doubt face tomorrow.

LAST SEPTEMBER


This is one of my fav photos I snapped last September at the entrance to Somerset House. Two girls taking photos and having a chat. And looking so chic while they do it.

I'm off to London Fashion Week on Friday and I can't wait! As I'm the Deputy Fashion Editor of my uni paper Nouse, I'll be reporting every day from Somerset House and from some of the shows.

I may not have time for that much blogging but follow me on Instagram to keep up to date with my explorations!

Love is in the air. So it is every February and will be for every February to come. But for me, Valentine’s Day should be about treating yourself; everyone else can have you the other 364 days of the year. 

So this hotlist is about spoiling yourself for the benefit of others (should there be a someone who needs you on the 14th.) 

As for me?? You’ll find me in the ice cream section of the supermarket in my new cashmere socks. See you there.

Lace bra MONKI £10
