LFW

Goooood morning lovelies! Apologies for the lack of blogging lately, I've been doing nothing but coursework and viewing universities (exciting, yet terrifying.)

However, this one is a very exciting post for me. Yesterday, myself and my best friend Rav went to London Fashion Weekend… yes, London. Fashion. Weekend. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was! Having recently visited universities to find out more about my course, which is Textile Design, I was so heavily inspired by graduate work, and I was craving to get out there and learn more about the fashion world.. and what better way to start, than venturing out to one of the biggest fashion festivals of the world!?

Inspired by the cool baby blues floating around this season, I threw on a PU lavender skirt from ASOS, paired with a sleeveless black turtleneck, and because it's technically autumn now and I just couldn't wait… A FUR COAT! (also from ASOS), and lastly I'd bought a pair of Dr Marten's brogues a few weeks back, which I just absolutely adore. They're kind of a two toned maroon/brown and black? 

Rav wore the most gorgeous red swing dress from Zara, which was hunted down at such a good price that everyone who asked did not believe her.. from £40, to £7!!!!!!! Yes you heard it here first. It was paired with the most beautiful, vintage looking coin necklace which I believe was from H&M, along with the heeled peep toe boots.

From Oscar de la Renta and Roberto Cavalli to Alexander Wang and Isabel Marant, this years trend show was buzzing with pastel hues, exotic prints and delicate flowing materials shaped into 
dresses, structured blazers and sharp tailoring and leather that was moulded into the most rich looking skirts and cropped trousers. My personal favourites of the show, were of course Jungle Fever and Fairy Tale Ending. Jungle fever was swimming with exotic motifs and animal prints, riddled with blues and greens and black and white tones and topped with leather, a true favourite for any print lover like myself! Fairy Tale Ending on the other hand was heavily embellished and textured, balanced with weightless materials created into gowns fit for any red carpet event. The colours that dominated in true regal style were red and black, yet tones of grey complimented and completed each look. (My favourite look being the grey cape!!)

I hope you enjoyed this little snapshot into what occurred on Sunday, 5 trains and 420 yards later after leaving Birmingham! And heres to many more fashion weeks in the near future!
