This Saturday I went to London for London Fashion Weekend - the smaller version of LFW, lets say, (and more affordable too!) It was a really good experience and the venue at Somerset House was fantastic, each room inside the building held a different designer's pop-up shop, such as: Kat Maconie shoes, Levi's jeans, Vintage Fur Company and Lola Rose jewellery - a few of them shown above. Around the pop-up shops were hand picked items by Susie Bubble (blogger) such as the colourful silk scarf shown in the picture, where you can see in the background the handwritten note from Susie herself. There was also a book shop, where I wanted to buy everything... of course (but it was my birthday the next day so I was spoilt with fashion books - post to come)
Outside there was the show space which held the catwalk and other things to take part in, including Henry Holland's House of Holland ice cream van, it was bright and funky with a clothes rack outside showing off some of his latest iconic designs. The catwalk itself was called 'Trend' showing 4 different trends including 'Pretty in Pink', 'Back to Nature', 'Shape Up' and 'Victorianna'. Pretty in Pink and Victorianna were my favourite overall as I love the pale pink shades that are in right now, especially a fluffy jumper or long coat - which seem to be every at the moment! And black seems to be my most worn colour for the past couple of years, so a high neck, long sleeve dress or jumper in black seemed just perfect to me. All styled by Pandora Lennard, hair by Toni & Guy and make up by Maybelline (who both had stalls at the event). Sorry for the bad quality of the catwalk photos - still trying to get to grips with my camera and the quick snap didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.
