LCM: Day 3

As LCM comes to a close, the last day of the the shows was definitely a show stopper. Here are some of my favourite collections from today.

Agi and Sam

Sibling

The Sibling collection was a quite unwearable but I do really admire their bold design choices, the people who design for Sibling are clearly talented and creative people. However, I would wear that red jumper with the blue and black fur stripes!

Burberry

I absolutely LOVE the Burberry collection. It was the perfect mix of a youthful eclectic style with that classic Britishness that the brand is known for. The prints were just so beautiful. I love how they somehow managed to make a Hawaiian shirt look really cool, I didn't even think that was possible. I hate the idea of fur, but that fur coat is just gorgeous (I really hope it's fake so I don't feel so bad about saying that ahaha).

I'd never heard of this brand before but I really appreciate how they created a completely monochromatic collection but you could never be bored by it. I love the fur coats and jumpers and the prints are really interesting. I like how the collection is kind of a mix of a futuristic atmosphere with these Aztec prints. 

I've never really taken an interest men's fashion but it's been really interesting documenting the London Collections: Men's. All of this fashion week talk has definitely got me excited for London 

Fashion Week and I literally cannot wait to go!!!!

Day 2 LCM

J.W Anderson

I loved the feminine hints throughout the J.W Anderson show. Ruffled blouses, pleated blazers and skin tight sweaters; this collection was definitely made for man who is in touch with and comfortable with his feminine side. I also adore those crazy prints, especially in that two piece suit.

James Long

The James Long show had this really futuristic, sportswear vibe going on which I thought was really cool. There was so much texture, I just want to touch all of those gorgeous bomber jackets. And I'm not exactly a fan of track suits but that last one is just amazing!

I really liked the out wear in this collection. I thought the cape was really magical, cheesy but it is. You don't usually see capes on men but I like this one. Although I don't agree with fur, that coat with the fur trim is so hot!

Alexander McQueen

Can we just clap for Sarah Burton please. She managed to put together an almost all black, grey and white show but still made it interesting through the use of material, patterns and fabric manipulation such as pleating (I'm seeing a similarity to the J.W Anderson show). The gold and black is such a awesome combination. 

Lots of love,

Day 1 LCM

Today was the first day of the London Collections: Men's and opening the event was Topman. If I was a guy, my whole wardrobe would be from Topman. They manage to get the perfect mix of smart gentleman with a young unique look. I love how daring they were with colour and those chunky knit jumpers are amazing! There was  also a wide variety of coats; oversized, croppeda no different colours and materials. I literally cannot wait till Autumn when guys can start wear these clothes.

Another designer who showed their collection today was John Smedley, a British designer known for 

his knitwear. I think these bright jumpers are so fun and exciting and I really like the geometric prints on them. 

Hardy Amies is a luxury mens brand so if you ever want to look really dapper then this is where you 

need to shop. I like how they stuck with classic silhouettes but made them a little bolder with bright colours and interesting fabrics. 

I love how simplistic the Lee Roach collection was, he stuck to monotone colours and classic shapes which could be seen as boring but I love these basic pieces. Especially that cream coat.

 

I absolutely love love love the Jonathan Saunders Men's collection. It's full of bright, colourful patterns but still has really classic silhouettes. These are those special clothes that you only have a  few and you can add them to an outfit an instantly make a statement.

Ootd 4/1/14

Recently I've been reading a Rookie magazine a lot. If you've never heard of Rookie, you probably know Tavi Gevinson. She's probably what all bloggers aspire to be one day. Tavi started off at 12 years old with a blog called The Style Rookie. With her eclectic style way beyond her years, Tavi quickly got noticed in the fashion world and now she owns an online magazine called Rookie. Rookie is aimed at young girls and it's has some of the most inspirational articles discussing topics such as insecurity, art, music and fashion. They also have loads of interview witch celebrities including Lorde, Sky Ferreira and Morrissey. Rookie magazine is something you absolutely must check out so click here :)

Today I had a family dinner which was nice as I got to see a lot of my family. I wore a jumper from a £1 vintage sale, a skirt from New Look and my lovely new Topshop flatforms 

Lots of love,

OOTD 2/1/14

Second day of the year and I'm doing pretty awesome with my ootd posts, doubt that'll be the same in a few weeks. Today my friend and I specifically went out to buy the glorious Pinkberry. If you don't know what that is, you absolutely must find your nearest branch and get it right now! Pinkberry is a frozen yoghurt shop and I may be slightly obsessed with. But who cares it's amazing!

I wore a jumper from New Look, which is like a size 22 because I love oversized jumpers, and skirt from Nikita which I bought from a charity shop and red converses.

I can't find it online but saw this stunning faux fur jacket in Vero Moda which I really want but it's £55 :(

Lots of love,

OOTD New Years Day!

Happy new year everyone!!!

I still can't believe it's 2014, 2013 barely even happened... My friend said something the other day that really interesting 'Every year people say the year has gone so fast, maybe this is how fast years go'

I don't know it just made me think about however much which try to control time and how it affects us, we can't. Life is going to happen so we can either sit around doing nothing or we can get up and do something with our lives. That's what I want to do this year.  2013 didn't exactly start off brilliantly for me but it's definitely ended a lot better. I spent most of the year thinking, about life, my life and where I wanted it go. I don't have a proper New Years resolution, maybe I'll think of one later but this year I want to find myself. I want to have a lovely group of friends who I can trust and I want to be closer to my family and improve my blog and design and make more clothes. In 2014 it's not New Year, New Me because I'm still the same person. This year I'm going to be the 'real me'. Well I'm going to show the real me more. I'm going to do whatever I want, be who I want to be. I'm not going to worry about other peoples judgements and preconceived ideas of who I am. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm just going to be me :)

I didn't actually leave my house today but I didn't really want to spend New Years Day in my pyjamas. I wore a pair of velvet shorts that I made on Sunday I think, a baby blue shirt dress and my beautiful new Topshop flatforms. 

I hope you all had brilliant day and even though everyday this year won't be amazing, I hope you achieve whatever you want or need to this year. 

Lots of love,
