I am sure you are all getting bored of seeing Paris fashion week photos all over Instagram and the blogosphere. The process is always so drawn out and it seems like those big bloggers out there just like to make us all jealous by posting thousands of photos of the Eiffel tower, endless Parisian cappuccinos, brightly coloured scrumptious macaroons and sky scraper designer heels. Truth is I should have put these up weeks ago, but as per usual time has flown by and here we are in mid March. Sometimes I do enjoy prolonging posting photos for as long as possible. When revisiting them and editing poorly editing them  it is undeniably a bit of a guilty pleasure to sit there and pretend I am back there. No Sara; you are sat in your living room watching 'The Devil wears Prada' trying to write an essay on the globalisation of fashion due in on Monday. Shit. Thats the reality.

So while I wish all of you a fantastic Saturday evening and Sunday in the sun (hopefully) think of me eyes glued to my laptop trying to get 2000 words to appear!

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. I hate them. In the midst of all the work I had to do I have managed to do another quick outfit post. I am trying to get as much use from all my coats I have hanging around before it gets too warm (who am I kidding there is still at least another month to go). Some might say the background is not as picturesque as the Eiffel Tower in my previous post, but Ally Pally was fine for me. The fresh air and sun was a treat, almost wish I'd thought about wearing some sun glasses. Wouldn't want to get too excited about the weather changing now though would I...it's not even march and we are in England after all.

Yes guys, this is the real Eiffel Tower, its not photoshopped. My trip to Paris was primarily to go to Premiere Vision but I managed to fit a little bit of sightseeing in too, and of course a visit to Colette.

For those of you who don't know, Premiere Vision is a massive Textile and Fabric event that takes place over a three day period in Paris. It was definitely one of the most overwhelming experiences of my life. Not only was I surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of super fashionable people, but there was just so much there to take in it was hard to know where to go and what to look at first, not to mention I had been out the night before so I would say I was in a fairly delicate state prior to my hunt for a bottle of Coke.

Apart from this, the weather was incredible on the day we managed to fit in most of Paris' major 'things to see' and my friend Jasmine managed to get these pretty cool photos of me in my new Pink Coat, bought especially for my trip. Some might say I look like a pink yeti, or a giant fluffy marshmallow however I like to think of it as me managing to just about catch on to the end of the Pink coat trend. Only 5 months too late....
