INTERNING AT LONDON FASHION WEEK

Whilst London Fashion Week happened way back in September, for me it is still fresh in my mind. Not only because of the fabulous clothes that were being showcased, but because for the first time ever I was actually there! (Yes, you read that right). I was actually in attendance at two of the coolest shows at LFW: Peter Pilotto and Ashley Williams.

Now whilst I wasn't lucky enough to be a seated guest at the shows, I got the amazing opportunity to intern at both. I worked at a PR company in the build up to both shows, going around London delivering invites to all the VIPs, and greeted and seated the guests at the shows, held at the new Brewer Street location. 

MET GALA 2015 | CELEB STYLE

The Met Gala is easily the event where celebrities go all out with their outfits. It's the one chance a year that your fave celebs wear the craziest clothing and it deemed acceptable. Whilst there were some questionable outfit choices at last nights event, I am going to focus on my best dressed! So here we go...

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is showing of her AMAZE figure in this stunning Atelier Versace dress. If her ensemble wasn't sexy enough, she paired her look with slicked back hair and a dark lip. Round of applause for RHW? I think so.

BRITISH FASHION AWARDS 2014 | CELEB STYLE

The annual British Fashion Awards took place at the London Coliseum last night and the style stars were out in force. In attendance were designers, models, editors - basically every influential person in the fashion industry.  As you'd expect, there was not only a fierce fight amongst the celebs to win the awards, but also to win the crown of best dressed on the red carpet. Luckily, I'm here to give my verdict on the ensembles from the night...
Cara Delevingne won model of the year wearing this stunning Burberry gown with Christian Louboutin heels. Gorgeous.

THE GLAMOUR OF ITALIAN FASHION

Walking through the large glass doors you are immediately presented with what seems like a traditional Italian marble wall. On the wall reads the words: THE GLAMOUR OF ITALIAN FASHION.


Last week, I attended The Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition at the V&A Museum, which ended sadly yesterday. The exhibition showcased fashions by designers including Pucci, Sorelle Fontana, Valentino, Gucci, Missoni, and Giorgio Armani, spread across 5 sections: Return to Luxury, Tailoring, Made in Italy, Cult of the Fashion Designer, and Italian's Fashion Future.

A SIGHT FOR 4 EYES | FASHION EVENT

Most people spend their Valentine's either on a cute date with their partner, or crying into a tub of ice cream. I, however, did neither. On Friday 14th February, I was lucky enough to attend a blogging event at the fabulous Danish eyewear company CrossEyes in London.

CrossEyes is possibly the coolest eyewear brand ever focusing on style rather than price. I was especially impressed with the wooden sunglasses and glasses. With a varied range of colours and styles, there is a pair to suit everyone, and it's definitely value for money!

Set out in an equally stylish space, the company's staff were on hand to help and are clearly passionate about the brand and it's concept.

I am in love with CrossEyes and you should be too!

LOU LOU VINTAGE FAIR

I absolutely love the smell of old things. The musty aroma just brings back so many memories of my nan and granddad's house, and makes me feel like a kid again. So it was no surprise that upon entering the Lou Lou Vintage Fair at the Southampton Guildhall today, I was overwhelmed with happiness. Not only was my sense of smell satisfied, but so was my sense of sight. There were so many amazing clothes around, a feast for the eyes, I didn't know where to look!

WHAT'S IN MY BAG?

As I said in my previous blog post, last Wednesday I went to Pause's launch party for the 5th issue of their amazing men's fashion magazine.

The best part about the night? The goodie bag! I joke of course - the best part of the night was talking to some of the industries most talented upcoming people and seeing all the clothes from This Is Not Clothing and Borsc London. But it's nice to get free stuff too!

So what was in my bag?

PAUSE MAGAZINE ISSUE 5 LAUNCH | FASHION EVENT

Last Wednesday, I attended Pause Magazine's 5th issue launch, held in Camden.

Despite showing up late (I missed my train!), their was still a great vibe about the place, with drinks flowing, and friendly yet fiercely dressed company.

VOGUE FESTIVAL 2013 | FASHION EVENT

Last weekend (Saturday 27th April) I went to the Vogue Festival at London's Southbank Centre with my friend Acadia. The night before I was frantically trying to decide what to wear and finally settled on this: a New Look white shirt, H&M black cardigan, New Look leather jacket, Topshop cigarette trousers, and Primark pumps. I went with this because it was a smart look but still fashionable, and I chose pumps for the comfort factor as after the Vogue Festival I was going to spending the rest of the day (and night) in London for Acadia's 18th birthday celebrations. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACADIA!)
