In the Mood for... London Fashion Week

It was London Fashion Week from 15th to 19th February and everyone was in the mood for a fashionable few days so here are my looks for these few days.

This first look (excuse the mess of my flat) includes one of my favourite recent purchases - a bomber jacket from the new cult French brand Wanda Nylon; they call themselves 'the only fashion brand dedicated to rain protection and water'. This is the coolest brand I've discovered so far this year and I'm loving every piece of their design from both their SS13 Cyclone collection and Pre-fall13 Typhoon collection. I strongly recommend investing in their pieces! Their designs concentrates on redefining the classic trench coats and biker jackets, etc. and turning them into something both futuristic and practical. The even better fact is the materials they use are 90% recycled! 

The second look is what I would call my shopping-ready relaxed weekend style. Love throwing on a cool jumper, slinging a lady-like bag and rolling up the jeans to make everything look so laidback. I have to brag about this Kenzo tiger jumper because I was so lucky to get one from Harvey Nichols last weekend, purely because someone on the wait list didn't want hers anymore and they had one left! This Kenzo 'tiger fever' REALLY does exist! The flats I am wearing in this photo are from the Charlotte Olympia Spring13 collection. These Capri Kitty flats are incredibly comfortable, there is no break-in time for them at all! 

The last look (not the least!) which I very much enjoyed putting it together is highlighted by another one of my great 2013 investments - a Delvaux neon yellow Brilliant bag. I have been eyeing for a Delvaux Brilliant since the first time I saw them nicely laid out in Dover Street Market (DSM) almost three years ago, but I was never really keen on the classic colours of black and dark red. This all changed when I saw a dozen of them in different sizes in either neon pink or neon yellow in DSM again in the beginning of this year. I fell helplessly in love with them for the playful colour on this classic bag. Delvaux, is a brand with history longer than Hermès. It was founded in 1829 by Charles Delvaux in Brussels and is the oldest fine leather luxury goods brand in the world. All of their products are handmade in their workshops located either in Belgium or France. 

Personally I like designers less known but still have impeccable quality of craftsmenship - Delvaux is a perfect example.

 

 

I had lots of fun putting some outfits together during LFW, I wasn't lucky enough to see the shows but hey, there was no harm getting myself into the LFW spirits is there?

Hello again!

So I have been chaotically busy lately and have had no time to post anything so here's a refreshment post.

I'm still exploring various looks and still have no clue what kind of look I'm going for, but one thing I know - I'll never stick with one look because it just is so much fun dressing up!

These two looks were taken during my trip back to China this Christmas.

The first look is one of those looks I always like and keep going back to, I love the idea of wearing a dress under a nice coat. It is very wearable look to go for, and if your legs can survive the near freezing temperature then go for it!

 The second look has to be one of my favourite looks of all time! I love this tucking-your-jumper-into-high-waisted-trousers 60's look and it makes me feel very confident! The Céline bag and the Louboutin flats are brilliant in matching any outfit and are two of my greatest investments of 2012!

 

Wearing:
(First look) 
House of Holland sunglasses
Stella McCartney coat
Alexander McQueen dress 
Olympia Le Tan clutch 
Christian Louboutin Fifi pumps 

(Second look)
Louis Vuitton silk scarf
Ralph Lauren cashmere cable knit jumper

Day Nineteen - The Blues

I love another sunny day, spring is really here so I thought I should brighten things up a little. The whole print trend for this spring has finally affected me and I dipped my toes in for a quick try today. I don't own much print clothing so I dug out what I had and this is what I came up with.

Those with sharp eyes might have noticed I'm wearing the trousers from Erdem cruise collection 2011, I absolutely adore that collection and will keep wearing this pair of trousers for a long time pass the season. The Erdem trousers are so comfortable and pretty you can't say no to them! The only downfall with this print is I find it quite hard to pair things with it. I usually start dressing up with trousers/leggings and work my way around it. Today I thought I would pair this sleeveless top from ASOS (a great buy in my opinion) for a gradual change in patterns and colours.

You have seen the flats from Day Four and again I cannot stress more how comfortable these Miu Miu flats are (once you have worn them in that is)!


Wearing:
Burberry trench coat
ASOS sleevless top
Erdem trousers
Miu Miu studded flats

Day Two - The Lace

A friend of mine asked me to try and incorporate the spring lace trend into my outfits so I have gone full out lace today. 

I am not a big trend follower but this is my interpretation, I overlaid a black lace shirt over a white lace dress. To dress it down I wore a pair of tiny heels so I could manage walking up and down the stairs between lectures.


Wearing:
Erdem lace top
French Connection white lace dress
Stella McCartney heels
A.P.C. cardigan
Mulberry bayswater bag
Wolford individual 10 tights
