London Fashion Week Day #3

Day 3 didn't quite end up as we had hoped. Heading over to Regent's Park for the Topshop show only to find out our names hadn't been placed on the list landed us in a down hearted mood.

However with Paul Smith soon after we made our way to Highbury to see another show we were both excited for. Unfortunately for us, nothing is ever simple. With the address having taken us to a random housing estate we were left feeling totally lost and thinking we'd miss the show. When out of nowhere another lost car showed up with a very generous woman inside who offered to take us to the show. Saved from the rain and the cold, we headed over and took out seats for the show.

The Paul Smith show was gorgeous. Filled with citrus colours combined with marine blues all hanging from the models figures for an effortlessly summery feel. Spotting Alexa Chung and Daisy Lowe was a major plus too.

We stopped off at One Bar for food and an essential phone charge. With gorgeous food and some much needed coffee down us we were off to the next show.

That evening we were invited to the Kristian Aadnevik show. Entering the gorgeous establishment and enjoying free (and delicious) fruit cocktails while the rich and fabulous filled the room. Never have I ever felt so out of place. Another note to self, plan outfits for each show. The show was Moroccan desert inspired, with heavy embellishment with animal prints, beige and caramel tones throughout, finishing with a gorgeous flowing wedding dress.

Day 3 wore us out, heading back to our hotel and getting show reports written and off to bed ready to wake up to our last day of shows.

London Fashion Week Day #1

My first ever London Fashion Week was filled with ups and downs. With planning for it left up until the last day it was very much a whirlwind getting ourselves down there and to all of the shows.

With a line up of 10 shows to get to over the 4 days me and Hannah from Palindrome Poppet, were eager to get going. Traveling down on the Friday we made our way to our hotel (after getting lost) and headed over to Freemason's Hall for our first show with Bernard Shandoran. A slightly Bollywood themed show with rich reds, pinks and oranges running alongside mermaid inspired teals and blues all embellished with 3D bejewels as well as gold accessories and make up.

Between shows we stopped off at Cafe Rouge for some much needed food with a rather indulgent dessert.

The next show was Ping He, a neutral show of monochrome pieces but finished with gorgeous peplum and lace detailing that made for a really wearable collection. The hair was big and the make up even bolder, which really contrasted the pieces that Ping He had created.

Friday Favourites #15

I'm off to London Fashion Week!!

I work as a Social Media Executive for Lookfantastic and got the amazing opportunity to head down there with my friend Hannah from work to blog, take pictures, make notes and soak up my first ever Fashion Week.

Here are some pieces that have got me all excited for the week ahead.
