London Fashion Week | Street Style

As some of you may know, today is that last day for London Fashion week. During the past couple days, I underwent street-style hunting at Somerset House. I did also intern at Bora Aksu on Friday (as usual, lovely experience and thank you Goodley PR) and loved the fact that this year, I actually took it upon myself to engage with the subject (the person). 

Alright so back to the blog post, this year was totally about looking for the street style trends, what seems to be booming, and what looks like a trend which is not quite there yet, but will creep up later.

 

- Neon (yet again), but in a way I'd think is easier to execute. Most people feel that neon is not a color that suits practical day-wear for the Spring, or can sometimes look a little 'off'' at night. Personally, I believe that you need a little neon in your closet, whether that be an accessory or footwear. Those two options from an outfit can jazz up your ensemble. Also, it's a good way of combining it with the monochrome trend which is kind of in full swing now. Neon is an alternative for that 'pop color (red/fuchsia/cobalt blue).

-Shades Rain come or sun shine, you need a range of glasses, try looking round thrift shops, or going to vintage fairs as they really do hold the treasure which you cannot find in the mainstream retail shops. There are only so much that Urban Outfitter and New Look can provide!

This is all I can show now, but do look out for more street-style on the facebook page, and in the next issue of Amor Magazine  

And I leave you with a ...

TIP: Always leave a positive and memorable impression, whether it's a friendly gesture like smiling or displaying your basic manners which your mother tuned into your head countless of times; that's how people remember you; and that is how your business card won't get chucked on the ground after you turn your back against that person whom you did not say thank you too !

Let your jumper hollar with a smart collar

I don't know about you all, but I often seem nervous when it comes to picking out what to wear during the mid-season, especially living in London. I have to look up on the weather forecast to see if the day will consist of snow/ rain or wind and then scream 'OMG I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR' and my overflowing wardrobe ... but this 'mini-trend' has turned my woe into a 'ooooh yeah' feeling simply because you can make this as stylish as your want or plain and simple. 

This look could fit in with all aspects of what I do like balancing work, uni and other engagements  Since this dreadful weather has arrived, I embarked on buying warmer clothes with the help of Zara and French Connection (well mostly Zara ... I think I'm the only person who has benefited from the Zara sale hahaa!). 

Nowadays, the choice in the morning (when I've come to the decision that that day will be a 'collar and jumper day') I match that with either a slim fitted pair of  jeans, leather/ textured skirt (midi or knee length) and opt for an ankle boot/flats.

Will post some pics soon as right now I have no camera atm, but in the meantime, have a look at what street style I've captured for you all. Which is your favorite look?

Tip: Remember that when looking for jumpers or shirts, don't restrict yourself to the womenswear sections. I find mens shirts fit me better considering my (bigger than the average sample-size) chest area and I have more choice whether to tuck the shirt in or not as their shirts tend to be a little larger in length too
