London Fashion Week Day 2 Outfit

H&M coat and jumper
Motel Rocks jeans
Clothing at Tesco boots*
Peacocks clutch*

Day 2 at LFW! You can't see properly in the picture but the jeans have tiny little crescent moons and stars on them. I picked them up at the Motel Rocks sample sale last week for £15 which is a bargain considering the Jordan jeans are usually £48! I got the Mary lace playsuit in Wine for £15 too, which is £42 on the website at the moment. I could have bought so much more at the sample sale, but I need to save my pennies if I want a holiday this year (or any chance of being able to move away from home once I graduate!)

The picture was taken in the Topshop NEWGEN section of the exhibition. To celebrate ten years of supporting emerging fashion talent, Topshop got some of the designers it has worked with to create a limited edition range of t-shirts. I bought the Mary Katrantzou tee, which seemed to be the most popular, but I really want the Meadham Kirchhoff Dolly Face tee too, especially after Emma bought and Instagram-ed it!



(Thanks Kristabel for taking my outfit pictures!)

London Fashion Week Day 1 Outfit

ASOS Jacket
Missguided dress*
ASOS socks
Underground creepers via Office
This season was my first ever London Fashion Week. I've been wanting to go for a couple of years now, but I was either on my year abroad, or busy doing something else (like the Look Show last season.) This is what I wore on day 1 on Friday. I didn't have any shows that day as unfortunately the ones I'd been offered tickets for were in the afternoon when I had to be in lectures. Handily though, Somerset House is the building next door to my uni (in fact, my uni actually owns part of Somerset House,) so I could hang around until the last minute before having to leave for my "Brechtian Cinema and Political Modernism" class. (My degree is so far removed from the fashion world!)

It was weird having people ask to take my picture, I wasn't expecting it as I'm not a super-duper fashionable type. It seems that everyone takes pictures of everyone else at Fashion Week though! I got to see some of my favourite blogger friends, and meet a couple of new faces.

L-R Ngoni from NRC - I loved her neon maxi. We were shoe twins for the day, both wearing our creepers.
Kristabel from I Want You To Know - Kristabel is one of my very favourite bloggers and I'm happy to call her a friend too. I'm jealous of her Zatchel (which she told us survived getting stuck outside the doors on the underground!)
Lily from LLYMLRS - More neon - I'm lusting after her Monki clutch. It must be like a Tardis inside as Lily managed to fit three pairs of sunglasses in there as well as all her invites and normal bag contents!

More LFW outfits and information about shows and designers to come!


P.S. Big thanks to Ngoni for taking my picture for this post!

Casual Saturday

eBay cardigan
Motel shirt*
H&M jeans
Office shoes
Necklaces - vintage and from my shop
This is what I wore last Saturday. I was doing a short course at London College of Fashion and then I went to Westfield. I only meant to go and return some things to New Look, but went into Zara to look for "interview" clothes, and came out with a new shirt and jacket (neither of which are interview appropriate!) Whoops! Still need to get job-search appropriate clothes too!

If you liked my first guest blog for Missguided, then check out my second one, it's up on the Missguided blog now. I've styled one of their Baroque print dresses in three different ways.



P.S. I'll be relaunching my jewellery shop soon, so I've reduced the prices on all the old stock until then.

Guest blogging for Missguided

This month is really exciting for me, as I've been chosen to be Missguided's first ever guest blogger! I'll be writing one post each week in February and the first one is up on their blog now. It's a SS12 trend report, including how you can get the designer look on a high street budget with Missguided pieces. Click here to read it, and let me know what you think!
