LFW: Street Style

I usally hate hate hate 'midi' length things. To me, they aren't midi unless they stop half way down your calves. But this girl styled her outfit so well, from the adorable hat to the high tops. Plus she's wearing all black and you can't go wrong with all black.

LOVE these pattern trousers. Yes, they were trousers although they look like a giant billowy skirt. Trousers like these scream effortless style. The whole outfit is colorful and fun, yet looks put together with ease. 

Little red riding hood much? I've always wanted a cape but I can't help wondering how practical they are - aren't your arms just always cold?

Again, usually hate monochrome stuff like this striped shirt. But, once again, the styling saves it. 

Loved this girls understated styling. She epitomes effortless chic. 

London Fashion Week!

Leather Jacket: Dorothy Perkins, Playsuit: Urban Outfitters, Tights: River Island, Belt: H&M, Shoes: Topshop

I WENT TO LONDON FASHION WEEK! Amazing. I had the BEST time. I had such a struggle about what to wear - playsuit or floral topshop dress? I went for the more A/W dark playsuit, which worked well as it rained all day. Typical British weather. We arrived within plenty of time for our show so hung around Somerset House and gawked at all the incredible outfits. I'll do a proper street style blog soon of everything we saw!

I managed to wrangle some press tickets to the Kilian Kerner show through my university newspaper. It was in the Waldorf Hilton and wasn't a runway show, more like a show case. We were able to walk through the mannequins and models and take photos. It was a little unsettling sometimes as the models posed for us and we were able to go right up to the dresses and study the detail. The effect of having real models along side mannequins made the presence of the girls quite something. 

One of my favorite outfits in the collection was this incredible golden creation.

These dresses were my favorite part of the show, definitely Oscars outfits!

Kilian Kener is a German designer and this was his LFW debut. It was such an amazing collection and I was in complete awe that I was allowed to go! They were handing out free champagne but I did not trust myself with a drink near these immaculate dresses. I loved the whole experience of Fashion Week and it's given so much inspiration for my own outfits -here's to many more Fashion Weeks for me.

Lazy Days

Jacket: Dorothy Perkins, Shirt: River Island, Shorts: Levi's at Urban Outfitters

So I'm pretty much adjusted to my new house by now. My days have consisted of unpacking, tidying and unearthing giant spiders that seemed to have taken hold of the house whilst it was empty over the summer. Other than that there's not much to do as term hasn't started yet. I've started on my course reading, which is something! 

I promised I'd show off my leather jacket once I was comfortable in it, and I love it now. I don't know how I survived without it - no wonder I used to look scruffy all the time. It's been pretty warm over the last few days but it's been really useful to just throw over whatever I'm wearing when the sun goes in. 

I should have some pretty exciting news coming up concerning a little event called London Fashion Week so keep your eyes peeled for that. Leave a comment and let me know your ideal LFW look, I think I might need a little inspiration...
