Freshers Fair

Today I headed down to Central Saint Martins for the UAL Freshers fair! Wasn't alone (thank God) as I bumped into Jourdanne and Clara .

 

There was so much going on! Nando's giving out vouchers and student discounts, freebies, Clara even bought my an Elle Magazine and there was a free gift inside. Met a few people from my college who have gone on to their FD an other courses, society sign ups, queues for the raves etc etc

Wednesday Wishlist

Waistcoat- Zara

Knitted Studded Jumper- Topshop

Leggings- H&M

Triangle Studs- Topshop

Military Jacket- Zara

Stilettos - eBay 

 Soooo, let me summarize my extensive wishlist ... These (well-what I believe could ) cover my basic autumn OOTD's . Was looking through the Zara October lookbook and absolutely fell in love with the waistcoat, I mean the cut and structure is just totally cool, could wear during the day and night (and the same reason for why I chose to add the military jacket in there as well). The leggings are from the Lana Del Rey collection at H&M; Floral prints have continued to be on-trend from A/W (fall) and these leggings are (well I think) absolutely stunning! Could pair this with metallic accessories/ peplum top/flats (or heels) hair up (or down - you get the idea right?). I love these, but definitely will try before buy though ... printed leggings don't suit EVERY body shape lool

Dogtooth Peplum Top- River Island

Black Faux Leather Pencil Skirt- River Island

Gold Velvet Pencil Skirt- River Island

Blue Structured Peplum- Warehouse

Green Maxi Skirt- River Island

And right onto the 2nd batch, pencil skirts/midi are just THE BEST thing ever, especially intriguing designs which River Island has to offer ! The only problem that I have with these are (nothing to do with the brand, I'm just naturally an odd size) is the task of altering to fit properly (the worst thing you could do with a skirt is not have it show off curls/ make you look good). Again you could wear these with cropped tees/ bralets/ tucked in shirts etc etc . And the colour of that maxi skirt has been calling my name for some time to-be-honest; the amount of colours I could wear with that !

Hopefully you'll see them in an OOTD post in the future

And that really wasn't a short summary - sorry about that hahaa x 

Bora Aksu SS13

 - Backstage/ Behind the Scenes -

 

 So London Fashion Week has started and I was able to intern at the Bora Aksu SS13 show at Somerset house . I had so much fun! When I normally help out for the shows, I am based backstage, most of the other interns are a little mean and 'stand-offish' and most interns don't have the chance to actually watch the show, however this was totally different.

 

 

 I had the opportunity to handle front row where the celebs were seated, and sort out goody bags (whilst sneaking in an odd photo of the models getting ready backstage/ rehearsing), whilst guarding those sacred seats for the celebs, Dan and I (my partner for the day)also had to make sure allocated sections were handled smoothly; it was truly fun!

 

 

So these are some photographs of the actual show,  ... and a lil more ^_^. Sorry about the quality! We couldn't hold our cameras and work at the same time so these were taken on my iPhone. I absolutely loved the show ! The light fabric and extremely delicate layering gave the dresses a heavenly effect whilst the models floated down the runway. I'm feeling the colors and shades from the collection and the exquisite tailoring. The Peter Pan collar and patterned tights appeared on the runway as well so watch out for the spring guys!

Also got to take a photo with VV Brown;was I excited? Hell Yes! She is SOO sweet! Her and James (assistant) are funny people and down to earth ! (Gotta love it)

NYFW Street Style | Scott Schuman

One of my favorite fashion street photographers of today, the owner of The Sartorialist blog Scott Schuman captures what (I call) lies in between the lines. Most photographers that I look at, capture snaps like these maybe outside a venue or the attendees/ well known figures of fashion going to the show, Schuman tends to just around the whole of the city which I like and I just seem to enjoy what he gets.
