London Fashion Week Part 1

I've finished Fashion Week! Interning with a PR company was quite an experience. I delivered invites to half of East London and run across Leicester Square with £3000 of clothes in a bag. For Fashion Week I was then working at ME Hotel and assisting in some shows our company represent. I thought I would make a 3 part post including my own snaps and my top 6 designers the showed. Hope everyone else had an amazing LFW xxxxx

David Koma

I love the structured style he used, and who futuristic those bondage style panels look. The mesh pieces are my favourite and the monochrome palette adds to the simplicity.

Jasper Conran

I wonder if he watched his 'sex and the city' boxset when looking for inspiration? I though this catwalk walked right off the 90s and I love it. The simple spaghetti strap dresses and plain pump shoes with these long loose coats are so Carrie, and the colour palette (that orange!) is simply perfect. I can't explain how much I love this collection, I would wear ever single piece.

Mary Katrantzou 

No digi prints? No bright colours? I couldn't believe it when i saw Mary's collection, it seems she's moved onto embellishments. Her inspiration was looking at various uniforms such as the Boy Scouts which is where the medallions and badge embellishments are from. I  think the collection is beautiful, especially some of the little dresses, and think it will be worn a lot of red carpet events.

stilettos in the street

coat//mango trousers//new look heels//topshop jumper//primark lipstick 104 passion//chanel

This is my crazy oversized mango coat I picked up in the sales for a mere £20. It's such a warm coat and I can throw it over any outfit for a little grunge effect. These nude stilettos are truley my best steal ever down from £58 to £9 in the Topshop sale!! Such a classic style that I love so much I want to wear them even when I go supermarket shopping. I hardly took this jumper off over christmas, the pastel blue makes it a perfect transitional piece for winter/spring.

pvc pink

cropped jumper//topshop pvc skirt//missguided watch//river island converse//office 

I finally got my hands on this little pink pvc number from missguided and it was well worth the wait. The skirt is a really flattering fit and shape, although a bit big round my waist. I thought styling it down with converse in the day would make it a bit more versatile and ensure maximum wear-ability. I had also ordered the midi-length version but the fit just was not right on my frame, so not kimmy k style points for me today!

uni days

jumper//new look bag//ebay jeans//zara watch//michael kors boots//topshop

A rainy day outfit for some rather dull lectures about pricing architecture. It was okay though as it was the Fashion Management and Marketing christmas drinks afterward so we got free champagne and me and the girls are no idiots when it comes to free alcohol...

Styling and photos by Amber Haly

Living in a uni house full of fashion students is a lot of fun, especially when you get to play around with clothes and pictures. For Amber's styling project, she had to do a Pop Art inspired shoot and she wanted me to do the test shoots with her. The styling is so unlike me (don't even ask about the giant eyebrows and black-lined lips!) but I think the pictures have come out so well considering they were done in our lounge and on a sheet in the garden! I think this red lip phone is so funky too, defo going to try and keep that in my room...

month leather chelsea boots//topshop £45

faux leather midi skirt//primark £10

My favourite latest buys. I've wanted some little flat chelsea boots for ages and was looking for some black ones however, when I stumbled across these in Tospshop I knew these were my perfect little pair, and I don't have any brown boots. They need a bit of wearing in, got a blister from wearing them at first, but being such a classic style I'm sure to get my wear out of these. This primark skirt I picked up on a recent trip to London in the oxford street store. I can't believe how cheap it was, but being in a rush, didn't have time to try it on. Defo recommend getting these 1/2 sizes up because there is absolutely no give in this material. Can't wait to wear it over xmas with a little cropped top, and even dress it down in the day with black tights and a jumper!

Motel Rocks Christmas Party

(i was wearing) skirt//new look heels//zara top//primark watch//michael kors bag//zara

Possibly the most belated blog post ever, but I still wanted to blog about the Motel Rocks Christmas Party I was lucky enough to attend! I went with the girls I live with (who are also bloggers) and we had such a good evening or clothes browsing, blogger socialising an drinking! There were some great brands there like YooMoo frozen yoghurts, Freixenet UK, that were responsible for the yummy cocktails, and a hair stylist using Fudge Urban to add bright, funky colours into your hair using bright chalks (you can see in the last picture how good they looked in Jess and Madi's hair!). Motel's Autumn/Winter range has some seriously hot pieces, I've picked out a few of my favourites - Hoppy Cap Sleeve Playsuit in Windsor Raspberry (this print is my lovee) Camille Leather Look Shift Dress, Major Oversized Tee in Bandana Print, Mac Trench Coat.
