What I Wore To London Fashion Week February 2019

As everyone turns their eyes to Milan Fashion Week, we are still watching all the beautiful street style photos from London Fashion week come out. So many of you had so many questions about all the looks I wore to London Fashion Week this year and I am so excited to share with you what I wore, how I picked my looks and how you can recreate them all!

This season I had the chance to attend four amazing shows and go backstage for two. It was so inspiring to be able to go behind the scenes, watch how the show comes together and then see it all in action! In terms of my outfits, I wanted to find a way to work in some of my favourite spring fashion trends, while still staying true to my personal style. I think one of the keys to personal style is finding a way to be comfortable in what you wear because when you are comfortable, it shows through confidence!

The trends I picked were neon, tie-dye, beige and hair accessories. Scroll down to see how I worked those and some other micro trends into my looks while still creating something classic.

BORA AKSU

For my first look of London Fashion Week I wanted to find a way to wear neon while still working it into my personal style. We all know I’m a huge fan of the slip skirt so I thought my Zara Neon Jumper was the perfect match for my cream silk skirt!

I also love the colour combination of this neon yellow/green with my navy blue Dior Saddle bag. To really bring the look together I added my white boots and my pearl hair clips.

This outfit was actually inspired by a look that was featured on my blog yesterday; It’s the perfect outfit for this in between season before we have a full blown spring! Check that out here!

My goal for all my street style looks for london fashion week, was to find a way to be comfortable in what I was wearing, while working the trends into my outfit.

EUDON CHOI

I got the opportunity to go backstage at the Eudon Choi show and it was my first time ever going backstage for london fashion week. I was so amazed to see how the looks came together from clothes, to hair and make-up.

I wanted to work in a trend that I love into my outfit; tie-dye. It surprises most of my friends and readers that I love tie dye! I styled my Zara tie-dye summer dress with a chunky beige knit to make it weather appropriate.

Sticking with the boho beach vibe, I wore my Nico bar hoop shell earrings and a shell bracelet as an anklet. To add in that classic Shloka touch, I paired the whole look with my Chanel heels to still make it look refined and finished it off with my Louis Vuitton bucket bag, my Ray-Ban sunnies and my Frame Chain sunglass chain.

MARKUS LUPFER

For the Markus Lupfer presentation I was really feeling the idea of pastels. I fell in love with this Lemon Yellow dress from Zara because of the dramatic pufff sleeves!

To add a bit of classic chic to the outfit I paired it with a sleeveless blazer from Zara. The mix of tailoring and feminine gives the outfit a unique twist.

Sunglass chains are clearly my current favourite accessory to add as I used the same chain from my previous outfit on a pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses. I wore my white office boots and my Dior top handle bag in pastel pink to complete my retro look!

PETER PILOTTO

One of my dreams has always been to attend a Peter Pilotto show. I was so fortunate to be able to go backstage with Code 8 Beauty and see how all the looks came together for one of my favourite designers.

For this show I went for a much more classic and simple look. I wore all beige; a beige sweater, a beige skirt, a beige coat, beige boots and for that pop of colour, I wore my new Prada velvet green headband.

The best part of this show was getting to meet both Eva Chen and Leonie! Totally a dream!

We’ve come to that point in the year (already!) where spring is at our fingertips and street style from new york fashion week and soon London is already teasing us with the best spring summer 2019 fashion trends. One of the best trends to rule all our favourite spring outfits for 2019 is none other than beige. Although you might think of beige as being boring, all-neutral outfits are set to be a favourite amongst the ultra fashionable. Not only because it’s an incredibly easy colour to wear and match, but also because it’s classic. The best part? You can always add your own twist to your beige aesthetic to make it trendier. So how do you wear beige without looking boring?

Here are my three tips to make beige a bit more exciting:

1.Mix shades
Beige doesn’t have to be all one shade. I mixed in a bit of chocolate brown with my turtleneck and an almost ecru shade with my cream knee high boots. The different shades of beige add in a new dimension to the look.

2. Play with accessories
I wanted to give my otherwise classic look a bit of a twist. I removed the belt off my skirt and tied it over my oversized cardigan. I then added in a cowboy hat for a modern update! Accessories have a great way of changing an outfit and updating an otherwise classic look.

3. Beige is for everyone
A lot of brown girls I know are afraid of wearing beige because they feel it almost blends in with their skin tone. Beige looks great on everyone, which is why it’s such a classic and versatile colour. If you’re not ready to go monochrome with it just yet, try pairing it in with black or white, You’ll be hooked onto this classic shade in no time. Another great pairing is beige and gold!

If you live in a warm country and are already embracing spring, you can recreate this outfit with a beige t-shirt and high waisted skirt. Complete your outfit with a beige cowboy hat like mine and add in some boho accessories like layered necklaces, or even a chain for your sunglasses like I did here.

So, are you embracing the new neutral this year? I almost wish I saved this look for LFW but I’m so excited to share it with you guys already!

My London Fashion Week Diary [February 2018]

It’s Time For
…

Another year, another fashion week! London Fashion Week took place this past weekend and the capital was flooded with amazing street style, fabulous runway shows and lots of amazing events. I was so excited because this year I got to attend the most beautiful Bora Aksu show, an amazing event with The Clck and of course today I’m going to share it all with you! If there is anything I’ve learned about fashion week, it’s that it’s a marathon, not a sprint! One day into it and I was already exhausted! I’ve linked to some of my favourite essentials below as well! Although it looks like the most glamorous event, there’s a lot of hard work and planning that goes into it. Even so, it really is all worth it!

BORA AKSU

My day started with my most anticipated event, the Bora Aksu runway show. The designer took his inspiration from a famous Georgian surgeon. She was one of the first women in her field, but had to dress like a man to do her job. The collection highlighted this contrast through it’s use of masculine silhouettes with feminine touches. (Think waist belts, pops of pink and ruffles) as well as it’s beautiful lace and sheer dresses and floral patterns. The whole collection blew me away and there really was no better way to start the day!

The @bora_aksu collection was inspired by a female Georgian surgeon who pretended to be a man to do her job. With a mix of masculine silhouettes, playful colours and feminine lace and ruffles, the collection was gorgeous 💕 • • • #fashion #lfw #londonfashionweek #video #fashionvideo #boraaksu #fblogger #londonblogger #london #luxuryblogger #fashionfilm #love

WHAT I WORE

This fashion week I really did not want to dress for the cameras. I wanted to dress for myself. What is personal style, if not for yourself? I think it is so easy to be overwhelmed by the street style and wanting to be noticed, however at the end of the day, if you aren’t true to yourself there is no point. I think this outfit is really “me”. I found this gorgeous green suede duster from Jovonna London at Topshop a few months ago. Paired with my favourite pattern, plaid of course, and some of my must have accessories, I knew this was going to be a winner! My final touch was my brand new lip colour from Nars. It’s called Hell Gate! It’s one of the few reds that I actually love and recommend.

Duster: Jovonna London

Skirt: Topshop (similar via ASOS here)

Turtleneck: Uniqlo

Boots: Chanel

Bag: Dior

Belt: Vintage Celine

Lips: Nars Hell Gate

THE CLCK LUNCH

I finished off my day with an amazing blogger lunch held by The Clck at the Me Hotel London. It’s the perfect spot at fashion week because it’s right next to all the shows! We had the most photogenic lunch, with champagne, amazing views of London and lots of girl gang photo ops! I even got to hang out with some of my favourite bloggers from London and around the world! It was the perfect way to end the day!

My London Fashion Week S/S 18 Diary: What I Wore, Saw and Learned

Fashion month is fully upon us and I was so excited and honoured to be attending my second ever official London Fashion Week. With a few more shows on my schedule this year, I really felt like I was in the middle of it all. Not only was I feeling incredibly inspired to be surrounded by people who had paved their own way in the industry, I was secretly loving the hectic hustle and bustle of getting from one show to another. Although I had my first ever fashion week disaster (Keep scrolling to find out what!) I learnt so many valuable lessons an have answers to all your fashion week questions too! Scroll down for everything that went right and also wrong for my second ever LFW!

Get My Look

Blazer: Find by Amazon Fashion

Sweater: Uniqlo

Shorts: Zara

Boots: Chloe

Bag; Louis Vuitton

For my first outfit, I wanted to mix and match patterns while keeping the silhouette simple. It’s no surprise that I am a huge fan of checks and tartan. I loved the idea of mixing different types of checks together to create one look. The mustard yellow sweater seemed to pair perfectly with the autumn tones of the checks. I completed the look with a monogram bag, and my favourite Chloe boots. Simple yet stylish!

Day One of London Fashion Week was off to a very hectic start. I had my first presentation of the day with Hainzhen Wang. I loved the way he mixed sports wear with swarovski to create a truly unique aesthetic. You couldn’t miss the customised Nike’s for the show as well! Following this I had the opportunity to have a one on one with the beautiful Tamara Zantout about her fabulous jewellery line Evra. My last presentation of the day was one of my favourites of the season – Roberta Einer. Roberta always manages to create a fun and playful atmosphere that you are more than happy to get lost in. This season, she had skateboards covered in slogans and art accompanying her beautiful pieces. Her pieces can best be described as femininity with an edge, with her gorgeous crystal work paired with customised Vans. I need these Vans!

Get My Look

Sweater: Uniqlo

Dress: Maje

Boots: Chloe

Bag: Dior

Earrings: Misho Designs

My outfit for Day Two only further emphasised how much I love heritage prints! With the weather getting colder I can finally start pulling out my knits. I paired a plain white turtleneck with this adorable checked overall dress. I love the colours and the super large button details. I couldn’t resist my statement Dior bag with this look and my boots. To finish the look though, I needed my larger than life Misho hoops!

On Day Two I was attending one of my biggest shows so far. I had the honour of being a guest at the Gareth Pugh show (Thank you Ciroc!) Instead of a runway, the designer created a fashion film that was incredibly thought provoking. Taking us through the creative journey he faces while creating his rather complex structural pieces, Gareth Pugh showed us both the light and the dark of the creative process. It was quite breath taking to be able to watch it on the largest screen in Europe!

If you kept up with me on my Instagram stories you will know that it was after this show that I had my first fashion week disaster. I was meant to attend the House of Holland show and I got the venues mixed up. By the time I had gotten myself together, I missed the show. I was totally mortified and so upset to be missing such a great show! There’s always next time though right?

Get My Look

Sweater: Hush

Skirt: Maje

Shoes: Dior

Bag: Dior

Beret: Agnes B (similar here)

Day Three was my final day at LFW! For my final look, I wanted to channel one of my colour combinations ever; red and pink! I wore my super cozy Hush sweater with this bright red Maje skirt. (You’re going to be seeing a lot of this skirt!) To finish off my look, I grabbed my current favourite accessory, my beret, and my Dior heels. I love the way simple accessories can really enhance your whole look!

My last show of the week was with Paul Costelloe. I loved the candy shades he incorporated into his collection and the playful 60’s vibe that the cut and fit of the pieces had. A very fun and bright way to end my London Fashion Week this season!

Although it’s only my second London fashion week, I’ve still learned so much! I loved all the questions you guys were asking me so I thought I would answer them all for you here!

& That’s A Wrap!
