LFW AW11 Street Styles

Street style is not normally something I do on the blog but when your a fashion week and there are so many amazingly dressed people you just gotta take some photos. The street (and blog world) is where I get my inspiration so it's nice to feature some street style pictures for a change. I wasn't very good a taking them because I felt a little embarrassed but after a while I stopped caring and just clicked clicked clicked my camera.

I love all the colour pops and big fur coats that are all around plus coats with leather sleeves like the Zara one above are great alternative to this Burberry Trench. Lots of people had ombre hair but in a ton of crazy colours and there definitely wasn't a hat shortage. I did notice that most people where in black(ish) outfit, so these slaps of colour really stood out in a rather bleak-at-times Somerset House. There was plenty of wow factor jewellery on show too and the girl rocking the green socks and wedges was definitely a favourite for me.

Next time I'm going to take lots more photos now that I've had a little bit of practice x

Day 3 LFW AW11

So yesterday was my third and final day at London Fashion week and whilst I'm sad I couldn't have been there for the entire time I can't really complain because I am now in France for a week with the family for a spot of skiing. Be prepared for a lot of snow pictures with an assortment of hats and scarves!!!!

Yesterday I was only at Somerset house very briefly because I woke up so late and had to be home early. I almost didn't bother going but then I came to my senses and decided a final couple of hours was better than sitting at home and wondering who I might have seen If I had gone.

In terms of outfits I wasn't really sure what to wear, my head was all over the place from lack of sleep. I decided to put on my Burberry denim kilt which I hadn't worn for years. I bought this kilt when I was about 17 after saving up a ton of babysitting money. I can't remember the exact price but I think it was around £130. At the time I think I'd been baby sitting every night for a week and since the people in Putney pay quite well for the child caring services of a teenager it wasn't too difficult to afford the skirt.

It was a horrible, cold day so I could only spot a little street style. I spent most of my time in the Press Lounge talking to other bloggers. I finally got to meet Jackie, Jennifer and Daniella plus I saw Nadia and Shini.

The last 3 days have been a fantastic experience and I'm really excited about future fashion weeks and the chance to meet even more wonderful bloggers. The best part in my eyes has definitely been meeting new people yet somehow feeling like you already know them because of their blogs. The community really is a wonderful thing and I'm so fortunate to be part of it. So to everyone I've met this weekend, Hello and big hugs, hopefully I'll see you all again soon.

For me, its time to ski x
