MILLY

I currently have a bit of a thing for 'rock' jewellery. These photos were taken at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout exhibition at London Fashion Week. Whilst I usually focus on the clothes I was instantly drawn to this display, and had a good chat with the designer herself. I'm particularly lusting after that amethyst necklace but if anyone wants to buy me a ring...I'd be more than up for a fools gold one too!

Spending my days soaking up the sun, having garden parties and BBQs, and revising for those exams that start next week... looking forward to summer and a pretty exciting new project.

Norwich, is full of hidden little gems...

Like The Birdcage, The Bicycle Shop and Frank's:

Cosy cafes and bars to sit in with friends that turn lively in the evenings with gigs and events.

We spent NYE at Frank's this year.

The Birdcage's cat.

Positive Birdcage Signs!

Cosmopolitans and Candles in old Gin Bottles.

Junk bull head brightened up with fairy lights!

I've started a new fashion-based job, so there'll be a lot more posts - finally...! And I've got one of my cameras up and working. Sadly the other is still missing its charger. Next up - summer days in Cambridge and ladies who lunch. Plus some more information and snap shots about the new job!

LFW DAY ONE

London Fashion Week Day One.

15 hours of wearing heels, snapping celebrities, checking out the shows in the BFC tent.

Hitting up the Look Show and the VFS After Party.

So I said I wouldn't do 'full on' show reviews, you've got Style.com for that. I'll be posting some photos and the odd line about the shows I did attend, but I'm focusing on the Look event and VFS after party that'll have less accessible coverage!

The Look Magazine event was a wonderful, last minute surprise courtesy of Kirsty.

It features a champagne reception, show, raffle and after show drinks.

There was also a photobooth and chocolate fountain, delicious canapés, and an area for celebrities to get snapped. Every single attendee also got a packed out goody bag. Plus we were treated to a performance from Alexis Jordan!

The 'frow' consisted of the likes of Marina, Olivia Palmero, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Jaime Winstone.

The show itself consists of the up-and-coming pieces from the hottest high street stores, so brands such as Mango, H&M, River Island and so forth.

Myself & Kirsty also had our photos taken for the Look magazine website. For me I think the best brands was most likely New Look, French Connection and Uniqlo - I definitely picked out some key pieces I'll be hunting down!

So London Fashion Week once again kicks off tomorrow...

As someone who prefers the September season, and has a lot of things on my plate atm, I didn't apply to nearly so many this year. So I was pleasingly surprised by the influx of invites & tickets I've received, including to a number of parties and special private events! I've had phone calls and emails and I'm rather excited to share it all with you once again.

Seeing as you can check Style.com within about 2 minutes for images and trend reviews, I'll be bringing you the 'extra' bits of London Fashion Week.

Here's some of my favourite shows/bits from last season - all photos are my own.

I'll post again tomorrow with schedules of each day, outfit posts, behind-the-scenes and so much more.

My favourite model Daisy Lowe at BodyAmr. Kanye West's girlfriend also modelled in the show.

Matthew Williamson - absolute favourite show of the season, and snapped Olivia Palmero on the front row!

Most Wanted Fashion Revolution Party

I was delighted to be invited to the Most Wanted Fashion Revolution Party at the Soho Hotel last Tuesday. It was a brilliant evening, hosted by the lovely people at VoucherCodes.co.uk [head over there to grab money off your online shopping!]

We were treated to cocktails on arrival, with plenty more and wine inside, delicious canapes and even a tower of cupcakes! There were so many bloggers there and it was lovely to see friends like Kirsty, Lucy, Fiona and Frances.

We also had the use of an awesome photobooth - some of the photos which you can see above of my sister and myself! We then had a film screening of Marie Antoinette, one of my favourite films for its use of costume, colour, soundtrack and of course cake!

Thanks once again to the team at VoucherCodes.co.uk!

Long Overdue Snippets of An Intern

Many of you may know of my internship at Company magazine last summer. My favourite experience has to have been the photoshoot I helped on that starred Lissie, Sky Ferreira and The Like. I saw Lissie at Latitude and absolutely loved her - so to get to meet her personally and have a chat was awesome. I actually got the chance to help with the styling - particularly of The Like.

Whilst there I took a number of "behind-the-scenes" images - especially as the location was so beautiful; a massive London house with different themed rooms on each floor. As the title suggests...here are those long overdue photos I took:
