shirt: asos*
jacket: boohoo

rings: jwlry
skirt: primark
bracelet: black tied*
boots: topshop allegeras (cheap dupes here)

Change of plan and I'm currently back home at my Mums house! Kinda nice to be home but also a bit huffy about not being in London! Never fear I do have some outfit posts for the next few days. Nothing like forward planning (or getting up earlier to do a few!)! I just hate not posting! Today I wore this outfit before deciding to drop the skirt and boots and do flats and leggings to travel! I love this Boohoo coat and I wear it all the time, Its oversized and boyish without being too masculine! I always get asked about it and its quite thin- definitely not cold weather wear but its going to be perfect for s/s transitioning! My Asos Panther printed shirt is my favourite thing ever at the moment, It can be worn in so many different ways but always look great! I just wish the sleeves were a little smaller! Also following the current blogger trend of putting a banded necklace under a collared shirt! I think it looks so good!

Boohoo have kindly offered a £100 voucher for a reader, all you have to do is comment this page to be in with a chance of winning it! Let me know which item currently in stock you'd buy if you won the voucher! I'd probably pick this bag, this dress and this shirt!

lfw 2012 outfit day two

what i wore lfw london fashion week
blogpost lfw london fashion week

uk fashion blogger lfw london fashion week
dress: asos
coat: new look
shoes: office
necklace: asos*
sunglasses: girlprops
bag: topshop
nails: models own uptopia* and opi rainbow connection 

This is what I wore on Saturday to London Fashion Week. I picked up the coat for a measly £8 during the January sales at New Look (reduced from £59.99!) with the full intention of it being a LFW coat! The dress is from Asos and looks kinda ridiculous/hideous/amazing but I loved it. My glasses are from GirlProps about 2 years ago, but I've seen them on eBay too. And for shoes I went with the usual, Office Flatforms. I just did my hair in a messy beehive which was made messier thanks to the epic winds on Saturday, it actually got actually got filmed for Channel 4 or something! God knows where that footage might end up! I always wonder where street style pictures end up after fashion week because not everyone is keen to tell you!

I updated ETCLLYMLRS with a recap of all my LFW photos from Instagram, and tonight Im going through the ones I took on my proper camera. But normal outfit blogging will resume tomorrow, I really wish I could do outside/"proper" blogging photos but I dont have anyone to take photos for me! Have been thinking about hiring someone to do them for me, but then its awkward and it would make it SO much harder to post everyday!

PS. The reason I wear sunglasses at LFW is because for some reason I get really bad eyes around Fashion Week, I always end up a completely drippy mess! I'm not being a DIVA *snap*, I just look like I've been crying my eyes out if I dont! And no I don't wear them during the shows! I'm not Anna Wintour (yet)!

sunday portrait week 112


will do my outfit for day two of fashion week tomorrow!

001. Currently doing my usual Sunday thing by slobbing around the flat and not doing anything of note. I even wore jeans today for the first time in years! Apologises for the laziness as I couldn't be bothered with putting make up on just to blog! Me and my flatmates went to Pizza Express tonight, which was so yum, could 100% eat it again right now!

002. What a week! Forever 21 was amazing and London Fashion Week has been really good! I have show invites for the next two days but I don't know what my plans are yet. I'm shattered, and going out last night probably didn't help. I'll do some proper posts next week on the two things, but its all been so busy and one thing after another I can hardly remember what I did at the beginning of the week! Thank god I keep a blog recording things I do as I'd completely forget!

003. Going home to see my Mum on Wednesday or Thursday! First time since I moved to London and I'm really looking forward to seeing my baby brothers! I sort of don't want to go but do at the same time! Going to be so weird getting off the train back to the fresh country air!

004. Its Pancake day on Tuesday! My pancake of choice is ice cream and nutella! I do love a classic lemon and sugar one though! Im a expert pancake flipper too, so I like to show off my skillz. I love pancakes but never seem to have them any other time apart from Pancake Day!

LFW 2012 Day One







dress: topshop boutique
coat: topshop
clutch: monki
watch: swatch
bracelet: black tied*
sunglasses: ebay

OH HAI REAL BLOGGER. This was what I wore to day one of London Fashion Week. I'm wearing a Topshop silk dress with a dipped back that I paid way too much for. My justification was that it is silk and very wearable! Oh well! Today was good but Im ridiculously tired. Met some lovely people and saw some amazing shows. I wish I could do them justice with photographing them but I have no idea! I had to re-write this post as the original made no sense at all! Full day of shows tomorrow hopefully as going out with my house mates in the evening! Hopefully I'll update again tomorrow!
