London Fashion Week Day 1

. September 13, 2013 .

Zara jacket (sale) | Topshop jumpsuit | New Look shoes (sale) | Ebay clutch

What a day. I'm currently writing this from my new room in bed with sore feet and aching legs but I've had such an amazing day. I started off by hitting Somerset House at about 11 and wandered around taking pictures and having mine taken. This jumpsuit seemed to be a real hit! A couple of highlights were getting interviewed by MTV and photographed for Cosmopolitan, super exciting. I then met up with mega babe Lolli form Girl Stole London, who's been an angel at showing me the ropes this season. We went to register and bumped into more bloggers in the queue, after a lovely to catch up with Jamie and Laura we headed back outside and onto the cobbles for some outfit shooting, big thanks to Lolli for shooting mine. We then met up with babein' blogger Kavita and set off for the New Look refuel lounge. After quickly returning from the Yeashin show I indulged in all the treats from brownies to detoxing cactus smoothies provided by the fabulous New Look team! It was so nice to be able to relax for a bit with lots of other bloggers, eating food and listening to cool music put on by their awesome dude on the decks. After a much needed chill and downtime I headed off to my last 3 shows which were back to back! 
The Yeashin show was full of pastels, pleats and plaits in the hair. Taking a very pretty step into SS14, Yeashin sent doll-like models down the catwalk, with feminine frills delicately placed here and there the candy coloured garments looked good enough to eat. A great start to my shows!
Up next at Fashion Scout was Apu Jan, I'd been excited for this one since the awesome invite popped through the door. Showing us monochrome will be back again for Spring Summer Apu Jan sent a black and white pallette down the catwalk with red and pink hues coming through on floral digitized prints. Someone needs to get me one of those hats, in love.
After that gorgeous tasseled collection (that I was able to get up close and person with in the FS exhibition!) that won her the Fashion Scout Merit award I was dying to see what Yulia Kondranina had instore for SS14. I was instantly drawn in by the head-to-toe white start, featuring digital prints and cut out shapes then moving on to a monochromatic finish with hints of red and purple. Pure bliss.
 

And onto what was probably my favorite show of the day, and not just because Poppy Delevigne was sat front row about 10 feet away from me (and literally rubbed shoulders with at the drinks reception). I somehow managed to get a second row seat and had the most incredible view. Ping He worked with black and white hues, again showing us monochrome's going to be big again for Spring Summer. The elegant but structural pieces made for an absolutely divine collection, and don't even get me started on those insane beehives, job well done Toni & Guy.

Watch some video clips from the shows on my instagram and stay tuned for day 2 action, but for now I need to sleep!
