A Flash of Blue

I have been loving this sweater recently and I'm sure you've all seen it popping up all over my Instagram. It's so soft and easy to wear and I love the electric blue that's only on the top part of it. I got it when there was 30% off GAP, so it was a real bargain!

Pretty Portobello

Last weekend I spent my Saturday in Portobello, we browsed the market and then the shops in Westbourne Grove. I really love the area and when the weather is good it's perfect. We stopped at Bluebelle's for some breakfast and I have a post on that coming up soon.

Panda Days

I just couldn't resist this panda hoodie* from Romwe. The body and hood is grey, the sleeves are black and it has ears!! Pandas seem to be everywhere at the moment, I'm not sure why but I'm not complaining. The lipstick was a gift and I absolutely love it. I've wanted a Tom Ford lipstick for ages, especially since trying Ree's Wild Ginger lipstick.

A walk in the park

Going for a walk is a bit of a weekly routine for myself, my boyfriend and my parents and last weekend we went to Hampstead Heath. It's my favourite place to walk when the weather is nice and especially when the leaves start changing colour. The Summer was so wet that it's taking a bit longer this year, but soon all the leaves will be different shades of brown and orange and everything will look beautiful.

Casual Summer Outfit

I'm all about comfort during the week so jeans and Toms it is! I usually wear statement necklaces to smarten up an outfit and on this day I chose to wear my Topshop flag necklace that I really love.

OOTD: London Fashion Week Day 3

For my final day at London Fashion Week I only had one show, but it was by far the most exciting... Topshop Unique S/S13. I decided to go for a casual look, something that's more of an everyday outfit for me. My hair was due a wash so being lazy I just put it up in a top knot and because it was out of my face I decided to wear a big statement necklace. I love the khaki jeans paired with the military style boots and wear these together A LOT.

OOTD: London Fashion Week Day 2

For day 2 I wanted to wear something a bit more fun and less serious. I think I was inspired by all the crazy people I saw walking around the day before. I had no idea until writing this post that my outfit was nearly entirely Topshop... crazy. I bought this skirt in the Summer and love it, but I think I actually prefer wearing it like this, mixing it with the black polka dot tights and masculine boots. I love pairing soft with hard, like pink floaty tops with a black leather jacket. That's what I was going for with the skirt, tights, socks and boots.

OOTD: London Fashion Week Day 1

For Day 1 at London Fashion Week I wanted to look stylish but comfortable. My main reason for being at London Fashion Week this season is to cover it from a beauty perspective so I had quite a few backstage plans, which means lots of rushing around.

At the Topshop Show Space S/S13

When I first entered the Topshop Show Space it was empty, backstage was buzzing, yet none of the guests had started to arrive. It was based in Bedford Square Gardens and it was the perfect London location. There was a giant tent for the 'U' shaped catwalk, a smaller tent for the backstage area and an open air cafe in the middle.

Did some shopping #3

Just in case you haven't yet seen this on my YouTube channel, here is my latest shopping video. It's mainly fashion stuff as I've really felt the need to change up my wardrobe recently. I desperately needed some new boots as my old Urban Outfitters ones are falling apart so I'm happy I finally bought these Topshop ones.

Wildfox Take 10 Challenge

With the limited resources I have (i.e. a non-photographer boyfriend) I managed to come out with this. I wore it with my Disco Pants, Topshop pumps, Urban Outfitters 'peace' belt, a wrist full of bracelets, the Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick in 20 and American Apparel neon red nail polish. I rolled up the bottom of the Disco Pants for a daytime look and kept my hair simple and half up.
