Spring at Somerset House || LFW-end

Bomber-Zara || Fur-Zara || Navy co-ord- Topshop || Pointy flats- Topshop || Clutch- American Apparel || Hair- Hershesons.

London Fashion Weekend- It was my first full weekend off work since November, and it worked perfectly. I had LFW-end with Jessie on the Saturday and was completely plan free for the rest of the weekend. I didn't know quite what to do with myself other than procrastinate. Instead of being sensible and getting loads of uni work out the way, I thought it the perfect excuse to sit in front of the TV eating Thai takeaway and watching Gone Girl with my flat mate and a ridiculous amount of dinner date.

Anyway, back to Somerset House. Jessie took me to a place called Spring just on the outside of Somerset House and I was memorised by the clean teal interior, the mini garden-like area they have on the side of the restaurant as well as the beautiful flowers in the toilets. Hands up, I did try to take the Aesop soap and hand cream- good job they bolted them in there so well that after three or four attempts and being caught red handed by about six customers I gave up and returned to my lemon and ginger tea waiting for me next to one of their beautiful pink sofas. Next time I promise to take more photos.

LFW AW15/16 Favourites || Christopher Raeburn

On Tuesday at 12.30pm I sat in bed and tuned into LFW online to watch Christopher Raeburn's AW15/16 catwalk show. 

With his fluro pink and grey leather tortoise bag at the top of my want list already from his SS15 collection, I was ready to add more of his pieces to my AW 'want list'. Of course, he didn't disappoint. Oranges and reds, graphic prints, metallic printed shark parkas and those knitted shark mittens......need I say more. One things for sure, when you watch his collections go down the catwalk season after season you tend to forget that all of his fabrics are sustainably sourced, something that I really admire and love and want to take inspiration from for my own final collection in my final year at uni. It leaves me with one question; if he can create such a great collection using sustainable fabrics without determining the aesthetics or style in anyway,

 why can't so many other designers?

I'll leave you on that note. There will be some more favourites from fashion week coming soon.

Happy Friday!

LFW Favourite || Whistles SS15

|| Photos via Vogue. ||

Im late on the LFW 'bandwagon' and the whole of fashion month. I like to spend time browsing all the collections from New York, London, Milan and Paris on my own time. I'm going to be sharing my favourites with you over the next few months (as they become relevant to me) or so but here goes numero uno.

Whistles, technically a high street brand absolutely nailed it for SS15 and this is why for me they came up top. A fresh minimal colour palette of whites, black, ice blues camels and the occasional rose pink along with totally wearable pieces with gorgeous silhouettes and floaty tailoring just oozed easy stylish summer dressing. And that fact that the show was in an entrance tunnel to Kings Cross makes it even cooler for me. Hands up to you Whistles...you've done it again.

So just a post to add to my previous; the catwalk photos of the collection. It gives you more of an insight into the whole feel. I have fallen for the graffiti prints and I hope we are going to see some of this on the high street next summer; something a little more in my price range!
