LFW Day 5

 Topshop Trousers | Vintage clutch | River Island ring | Primark jumper, sunglasses,shoes & blazer (lol)

The last day of LFW brought the most miserable weather of the week. I arrived to Ong Oaj Pairam in the spitting rain and then it pretty much didn't stop all day. My last show of London fashion week ended on a high as I managed to bag a FRow seat again, in addition to how divine the SS14 collection was. I then headed to Somerset House in hope of some street styling but to my disappointment there was a lack of  fashionistas stood around the flooded cobbles. Big thank you to Jodie for taking my outfit shots for me, manged to catch a little dry spot to do them in! I headed off soon after as I was due for enrollment for Uni, talk about a manic few days! But, they have been wonderfully amazing days at that, see you next season LFW!

First and only show of the day yesterday was Ong Oaj Pairam. And don't ask me how to pronounce that. I arrived just before the show started and took a seat on the second row, only to have a journalist turn round to me saying she had to run to another show so did I want her front row seat! So I was able to have an incredible view again and got some great shots, it's amazing how much more detail you can see just sitting a little closer. The collection featured bold brights, florals and fun prints, usually clichéd for spring but the trends were refreshingly delivered. Flowers and butterfly's were appliqued in leathery fabrics whilst gingham prints where used on sharp silhouetted jackets and skirts, juxtaposed with the sheer and flowing pieces. The collection also featured a couple blue and red striped numbers, hinting at a possible nautical trend for SS14.

LFW: What I Wore & Some Snaps

Friday marked the start of London Fashion Week, a glorious start to the spring! It’s my second season this year and I’m loving every minute of it. As soon as you set foot on the cobbles of Somerset House it’s like entering a totally new fashion-crazy world. Above is what I wore, all Motel of course! Along with my JC Cleatas, which now I am cursing for the perspex giving me a nice couple of slices to to the back of my ankles. I've also inluded a photo of what was in my handbag; my Chanel eyebrow pencil, Dainty Doll lippy and Benefit Stay Don't Stray to keep me looking not so haggard in pictures. Along with spritz of my fave scent, some shades to hide tired eyes, Travel card and fingerless gloves to keep my hands warm but able to tweet etc!

It was amazing to meet so many bloggers in real life, along with bumping into an array of celebs including Mark Francis, Victoria and Amber from Made In Chelsea, Marina Diamandis (nearly topped myself when camera broke as we were having a pic together </3), Kate Nash and Frankie from the Saturdays! I also took pleaaannty of street style snaps that I’ll put up in a separate post. One of the most exciting people I met was Andy from Style Scrapbook! I've been following her for years, starting back in the early days of Lookbook and she's got to be one of my all time big-blogger faves, so to meet her in the flesh was pretty surreal. She was so lovely, happily stopping for pictures and a chatting to many bloggers and fans and even re-tweeted me on twitter! 

Fangirling aside now, I also had a great time looking around the exhibition, I've included a couple of photos of my favorite pieces below. Topshop had an awesome bit again; giving you a token to put into a gumball-type machine to get a badge designed by one of the Newgen designers- I went for JW Anderson, and how fabulous is his new collection? All in all I had the best time, and wished I could have stayed for the whole of it. Keep an eye out for my next street style post and drop me a link to any LFW post's you guys have- I'd love to have a look!
