Fashion Week Round Up: London

As the end of fashion week is drawing near it would be ludicrous not to document my favourite shows and looks of what is such a magical time in the fashion capitals of the globe. I am however going to shy away from the endless lists of designers, images, descriptions and quotes that are floating around so many blogs after fashion week- no offence to my fellow bloggers I just prefer to get to the point and sum up (or try to) in one so here goes.
Obviously not in order (that would be too easy), I'm starting where my heart is...London.

My absolute favourite of all shows in London this fashion week had to be Ashish. The collection was fresh, young, edgy, sometimes a little crazy (the opening sequin pyjamas got me), yet totally wearable without being boring, (quite a lot of adjectives to be used to describe one thing I think you'll agree?). I adore the effortless, bag-lady esque and genius styling used in this show. Oversized, layer upon layer and heavy knits teamed with bold colour, print and an all important splash of sequin. The fingerless gloves and knitted fisherman hats teamed with flat boots and knit socks were a hot touch along with the bold colour streaks in those 'Wang-like' side plaits.

Check out the full show here. The shorts and cream knit jumper combo shown at around 6 minutes is a look I will be channelling come the end of summer, (how can I be wishing it to be Autumn already?).

Today's Threads...

I thought I would share my Sunday outfit. Embellishment is key this season and I think I got the balance quite right today, sparkling yet not to Dynasty for a Sunday! I'm loving that this vintage jumper I bought two years ago is right on trend this season!

Enter The Dinner Dress

Absolutely loving the shoot entitled 'Enter The Dinner Dress' in the September issue of British Vogue. Shot by Javier Vallhonrat, the shoot is all about beautiful dresses. It includes all my favourite aspects of AW dressing. Embellishment, indulgent fabrics, brocade, jacquard and embroidery are key, all adorned with trinkets and treasures. The staple to the look? Wear with disregard, i.e dishevelled hair and a smudged eye for a casualness that oozes sex appeal and style.
