Every girl needs a classic black dress, that staple piece for any event that can be dressed up or down. A few months ago I attended an event for Taller Than Your Average who have an online store as welll as their products showcasing in Selfirdges. London based fashion stylist and founder Irene Agbontaen was lovely enough to gift me this gorgeous dress and I have to say I was very impressed with the quality and fit!

Mulberry
On day 3 of LFW I relaxed at home due to becoming ill from the rainy weather, and so watched the Mulberry show livestream. The gorgeous Cara opened the show in a stunning printed floral 2 piece (so my style) which was also replicated on dog outerwear. The textures and loose fitted details of this line really stood out for me. Punches of bright orange was added to blouses and skirts as well as stripes which was seen on the iconic Bayswater bags, shoes and clothing. Different textures of the same colour were juxtaposed against each other creating in my opinion a soft feminine look.

Pringle of Scotland
The Pringle collection was presented at the luxurious Connaught Hotel in Mayfair on day 4 of LFW and was my last show of the day. The iconic argyle diamond print was kept as the basis of the collection but this time transformed into different forms. Intarsia twinsets featured the diamond print entwined creating a heritage feel, mesh tops carried the diamond shape while skirts and coats had diamond beading sewn on. Androgynous models stood on a mirrored platform in the centre of the room surrounded by floor to ceiling mirrors creating a 3D view. Pringles demonstrated a variety of ways in which knitwear can be paired with sleek fabrics to create a clean and simple silhouette.
The gorgeous Tilda Swinton was lovely enough to pose for a photo!
ORLA KIELY
On the second day of fashion week, first stop was the very exciting, 'you never know what to expect' show of Orla Kiely, the queen of print. This season the ''OK'' girl was out of her typing pool, on a safari surrounded by fields and wild animals (in the backdrop that is!) Inspired by girl guides, brownies and Suzy Bishop, models strutted up and down the camping site, exploring the wilderness, catching butterflies inside jars, reading books and made a mere fishnet look oh so fashionable. Add to this a camp fire and the catchy tune ''The Lion Sleeps Tonight'' playing in the background made me want to jump into a cute pinafore and join them in the field....nope I've never been a brownie!
Tops and dresses with 70s inspired silhouettes in pastels and bright orange were adorned with animal motifs and worked with more animal shaped bags, signature print back packs and cute fluffy berets. Shoes were Orla Kiely for Clark's collaboration available from February 2014.

ASHISH
My second stand out show of the day had to be Ashish. This was a show I had always wanted to attend and when that festival inspired glitter wrist band (aka invite) arrived, I literally screamed with delight. On arriving I had no idea what ticket I had (standing or seated) until I was directed to sit front row so got the best close up pics!
The King of all sequins drew the crowd in from the first outfit which stepped onto the runway, a Coca-Cola sequin vest, sequin striped carrier bag and ripped sequin jeans sported with a golden crown. His inspiration came from the idea of popping down to the off license with your slippers on and jewellery from the previous night. A fun and colourful collection filled with super luxe sportswear, stripes, animal prints, and mismatched socks stepping to the beat of Amerie's ''1 Thing'' in sequin slippers! M&S and Tesco lookalike carrier bags were drenched in sequins and replaced with logos such as S&M and Disco.
Seriously LOVED every minute of it, thanks again Ashish for an amazing
show!
What did you think of these collections? Are you a sequins or 70s girl?

FYODOR GOLAN
Although the rain came pouring down in true British style on the first day of London Fashion Week, I braved the weather and headed to my first show of the season, Fyodor Golan.

J JS LEE
A quick stop off for breakfast then I made my way to Jackie Lee's runway show at Somerset house. Part of the NewGen sponsorship, Lee designed her ''Jellyfish'' range by staying true to her signature style of minimalist tailoring incorporated with gingham and perforated edges. The first look was a candy pink ensemble (below) with peter pan collar details. If you love pink then you can dance for joy as not only is this a top trending colour for autumn winter, it looks like it will be continuing for spring summer too! This was another very wearable collection...seems the fashion insiders are definitely taking note of our city needs.
EUDON CHOI
I had been anticipating this show due to Eudon Choi's amazing reviews from previous seasons and so you can imagine just how ecstatic I was when the invite dropped through my door. One of my fave shows as my two print loves of floral and stripes were clashed together in a feminine way. His collection featured kimono sleeves, bias cuts, and flatforms worn with socks while keeping his masculine expertise at the fore front by pairing corsets with button up shirts. Watch this space for the Choi takeover in his upcoming calloboration with River Island.

JASPER CONRAN
Although I didn't get to view this show held at the Saatchi Gallery
in the flesh, I did manage to get some snaps from their brand PR. Conran has a knack of creating timeless pieces that we Brits like to wear. Peter pan collars in ladylike styles depicted against a black and white artistic backdrop allowed the colours and prints of the range to really pop. The black maxi dress just exudes chic and sophistication, I could do with one of these in my closet! Worn with simple tousled hair allowed the clothes to do the talking.

As soon as I spotted this peplum beauty online I knew I had to have it! How cute is it? I was quite worried about the scuba fabric but once it arrived it fitted like a dream. Moving onto the shoes....my first pair of heels from Primark and boy are these babies comfy. I recently picked them up for a snippet at £12 so definitely worth heading down to your nearest store.
This Friday sees the start of London Fashion Week, which I'm looking forward to. Make sure you check back here to view my outfit picks and show highlights!
