My London Fashion Week Diary; September 2018

LFW
SEPTEMBER 2018

London Fashion Week September 2018 has been my most eventful one yet. This season I found that I was attending more shows and presentations than before and I was so excited to be able to support brands that I genuinely care about! It was amazing as always to see the beautiful collections the designers had put together, identify the trends for the next season (If it’s autumn winter trends for 2018 that you’re after, click here), meet other bloggers and friends who I don’t always get to see and of course admire the amazing street style! I’ve put together a little journal of my experience at London Fashion Week to share not only the amazing highlights but also a few parts that didn’t go according to plan.

Day One

My first LFW event kicked off with one of my favourite designers; Markus Lupfer. I was so excited to be able to attend the Markus Lupfer presentation this year, especially since it’s a brand I love so much. The space had been transformed into a beach dune and the models all wore beautiful sorbet shades. There were beautiful 80’s prints and one of my favourite outfits was a striped co-ord set. I also loved how the models were wearing mismatched earrings and the mix of feminine pieces with masculine hardware was gorgeous!

That evening I attended the Julien Macdonald runway show. The dresses were gorgeous and all so drool worthy and getting to see Winnie Harlow in person was amazing too! She is such a talent! I wore a Kooples Blazer dress and Louis Vuitton combat boots.

I wore an asymmetrical-hemmed white shirt dress from an Indian designer called Deme by Gabriella, with my Saint Laurent varsity jacket and my Prada belt bag. I was so excited to see how many of you loved this look and I’ve linked to my pieces and some similar more affordable options below.

Day Two

So, day two did not go according to plan at all. I

It was the Sunday at London Fashion Week and I had a standing ticket to the Ashish show. I’ve admired Ashish for a long time and I was very excited to finally have the chance to go see his collection first hand. When I arrived to the BFC show space I patiently waited in line to be let into the venue only to see that everyone with a standing allocation was being turned away (after our 45-minute wait!).

At first, I was feeling quite low and embarrassed about it but I quickly realised that I was surrounded by other bloggers and members of the industry who were far more established than I was and they were in the same boat as me. What happened was nothing personal and I was just thankful to be able to be at London Fashion Week at all and to be able to cover these collections for you. I’m sure one day I will be able to attend the Ashish show and we can all celebrate that moment together but till then I am so thankful to be able to attend any shows at all!

Plus, I got some wonderful shots of my outfit. I wore a pink & Other Stories knit with a pink slip skirt. I love the contrast of the knit and the skirt and I of course dressed down the look with a pair of white sneakers. For my accessories, I placed my Chanel bag inside my clear bag from Shop Girl LA.

Day Three

On Day 3, I had a catwalk show for Paul Costelloe. The collection was dreamy as it always is with lots of oversized outfits, beautiful maxi dresses and gorgeous pairings of fitted masculine blazers with flared mini skirts. A few of my favourite looks can be in the slideshow! Also, don’t miss the gorgeous pairing of the fishnet socks with the boots; totally a style trick to try right now!

With all my outfits for London Fashion Week, I wanted to focus more on dressing for myself rather than dressing for any street style photographers. I always find that everyone can see when you’re uncomfortable in what you’re wearing and there’s so much more to be said for being comfortable and confident in your own style! I was so glad that I decided to do that because I felt great in all my outfits!

To this show, I wore a ribbed white knit with pleated white trousers, my Dior embroidered flats, my Prada belt bag and a plaid blazer. Yes, I did wear the same bag to fashion week, twice, but I did style it in two different ways!

Day Four

My last and final day of London fashion week kicked off with a show at the BFC Showspace for Roberta Einer. I love her collection with it’s use of colour and embroidery and I particularly love her styling. One of my favourite looks was a printed hoodie paired with a slit skirt; the contrast was fabulous.

My final presentation was with Rixo London! It was their first time showing at LFW and I was so excited to be a part of this fantastic moment for the brand. Their new prints are actually available to shop on Net-A-Porter next week and I loved the diversity of models. One pair of models was actually a mother daughter duo!

I wore a cropped Zara blazer which I paired with my favourite maje pleated skirt. I always love to create contrasts between masculine and feminine pieces. This look also had a lot of details in it, including the hair clips in my hair!

How To Take Your Summer Dress From Day To Night

One Dress, Day To Night…

The summer heat is scorching here in London, which means only one thing. It’s the perfect time to (finally) wear your summer dresses! When I make a purchase, I love to style the same item in more than one way, I always find dresses to be the most fun as you can style them up or down. I recently purchased the perfect summer dress from Sandro. The pink flowy bottom contrasts the corset top perfectly; it’s almost like a ballerina dress! At first, I was saving it for a special occasion, but I quickly realised that this is the perfect day to night dress.

The fit and material of the dress make it look incredibly luxurious, but it all comes down to styling that luxury look just right! Here’s how to transform a casual summer dress outfit into the perfect look for your next night out!

The Day Dress

A denim jacket is a must-have in any spring/summer wardrobe. Not only is it a basic that every girl needs, but it’s a lightweight jacket that immediately adds that cool factor to any look. I stuck my denim jacket over this beautiful Sandro dress to dress it down for the day. Of course, the best way to really style a dress like this for the day is to pair it with flats. If you have a dressier lunch, a pair of pointed toe flats is best but if you’ve got a Saturday around the city, grab your favourite white sneakers instead! My finishing touch was my favourite transparent handbag. Layering reached a whole new level with this when I stuck my mini classic Chanel bag inside for a high fashion update!

The Night Dress

So you’ve been out and about in your favourite summer dress and you’ve got half an hour to be out the door for your evening. Slip off the denim jacket and swap your sneakers for a pair of elegant heels. I chose my Gianvito Rossi heels because I love how they wrap around my leg. They are some of my comfiest shoes, as I revealed in my peek inside my shoe closet for June. To really show off a dress like this, go for a sleek top bun (really feeing the ballerina vibes!). A great way to add a luxe update to your outfit is to play around with colours. I love the pastel shades of this dress so I went for a bag that was a contrasting colour; pastel blue. My Olympia Le-Tan clutch is one of my most unique and most favourite bags for any evening occasion. It adds that luxury touch as well as being a great conversation starter.

How To Upgrade Your Bomber Jacket In 2018

The Bomber Jacket is Getting a 2018 Upgrade…

The bomber jacket is a piece that every girl should have in her capsule wardrobe. Time after time, season after season, this one jacket is the key to off-duty style. Since it’s one of my favourites, I happen to have many variations, but today is all about being sporty chic with this particular side stripe bomber jacket. What I love about this piece is that although it has an athleisure vibe to it, it’s so easy to dress it up or down and add some feminine touches. For me, that came in the form of colour. I always find that adding a sense of “chic” to each outfit, elevates any look. That was the idea with this bomber jacket outfit; I went for a totally monochrome pink look! Plus, you guys know that I always love a good pink outfit, like this one here!

Not only did I match the pink of my jacket with the pink in my skirt, I made sure that the sweater underneath was coordinated with the stripes on my bomber jacket. It’s attention to detail that can really make an outfit go from good to great! To really make this outfit street style worthy (while remaining weather appropriate!) I swapped my sneakers for some thigh high boots! That’s how you bring the bomber jacket into 2018!

I’ve never been one for a totally athleisure outfit, that’s why I like to add little bits and pieces that make the trend more me. In this case, it’s colours, but it’s also dainty accessories. These Astrid & Miyu earrings are the perfect everyday piece for any occasion. I love the unique geometric shape! Of course, there is no ignoring my Gucci bee bag! Fun fact: I’m petrified of bees and wasps but somehow I always have accessories that incorporate them!

How are you wearing the bomber jacket in 2018?

How To Wear Pink this Spring

Everyone’s favourite colour right now, Pink.

There is no denying that I love the colour Pink. I even have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to the colour. Of course, wearing pink on a regular basis and looking chic and refined can seem like a challenge but I’m here to show you how to wear pink, the street style way. Although the spring sunshine is here, it can still be a little bit chilly and as much as I want to shed all my layers and slip into summer dresses, we still need a couple to get us through the day. With that being said, I like to inject some fun into them with only the coolest colour right now, Pink Duhhhh.

To battle the impression of looking like a Barbie doll, I opted for some darker shades of pink mixed together. The subtle shades complement each other without overwhelming the look. To balance this all pink look, I added some touches of beige and black with my shoes and one of my favourite new bags. I was lucky enough to grab the last bag in this style and I have been attached to it ever since. I find that the tassels on it are perfect for summer!

So, this is how I wear pink right now, is this how you would wear it too?
