London Fashion Week 2012!

londonfashionweek

It’s this time of year again where all the designers are preparing for their autumn/winter 2012 catwalk shows. Once again the main trade show will take place at Somerset House. I’ll be helping out again at Somerset house just for two days at London fashion week and then one day for the London fashion weekend which is opened to the public. Somerset House is a great place to hold the event as it just on the Embankment and the courtyard is a perfect size. Tiffany and Co has recently sponsored the Somerset House ice rink there this winter, which was amazing but rather cold. The main well known catwalks are normally situated in another location in London such as the Mulberry show and Burberry Show. The courtyard is open to the public on London fashion week so you can always come along and celebrity spot but you just wont be allowed in any of the designer rooms or recive a goodie bag.
I will be helping on the entrances and making sure the press and buyers know where to go to get press passes and what catwalks are on next and how to get there. Over all it is a great day out I just hope it doesn’t snow as I’ll be outside in the cold all day. I cant wait to help out and observe all the buyers and new upcoming designers who photograph their designs to try and get publisty and create some brand awareness for their label.
So come along to london fashion week as normally everyone thinks they can’t but around the catwalk building it’s all open and thats where all the best people are to see.

Here are my posts from last September.

Outfit for the Evening on the Cruise!

For one night on the cruise everyone could dress up smart so I decided to wear my very colourful H&M dress with my newly bought Tory Burch Pumps that I got from Nordstrom. Some people dress up way over the top on cruises with massive prom dresses but I think less is more :) I will be traveling again in July to Norway on another cruise which i’m really excited about as there are some great views in Norway and I Love their norweigan hand cream. Here are some snaps from the cruise in the evening before dinner.

Merchandise I WON!

The other day I won some merchandise from Jade Boylan :) she’s an Illustrator/blogger/writer/logo designer/maker whilst also studying :o I was sent these gifts as I won her give away, she has also turned her illustration work into products that can be sold. The drawings are amazing and have lot’s of detail in them and are of the best quality there is. My favourite is the Skull mirror it’s really cute. The postcard is really bright so this will be going on my bedroom wall. I also love the style of the cupcakes. I was so excited as I have never won anything online before so it was quite a surprise. I’m very pleased with my merchandise and I will be checking out Jade’s work in the future.

p.s don’t forget to CANDY COLOUR YOUR WORLD :)

Here you can view her work and also look out for her next give away :)

Whilst on twitter I came across this Contemporary Furniture Store. Found some really nice pieces, actually I want everything on the site. I can’t wait to have my own place when I’m older and go out and buy furniture and knife and forks. Here are some of my favourite pieces from Graham and Green. I think it’s good to invest in good contemporary furniture that looks like and you know you’ll have for many years. Check out the online store.

London Fashion Weekend!

After loving fashion week I then got the chance to help at london fashion weekend. I spent the Sunday helping out at Somerset House at the London Fashion Weekend event that is open to the public. It was a lovely sunny day and I was on 3 different entrances every 30 minutes so the time went quite quickly. It was great fun meeting other volunteers and helping the general public with any enquires, I cant wait to help out at other events coming up like Dazed and Confused and the Somerset Ice Rink :) There was lots of shopping to be done at London Fashion Weekend but some of the products were still quite expensive except the Juicy Couture section that took up a whole floor from tracksuits, shoes, bags to dog accessories. I could have spent a couple of hours looking at the Juicy Couture stuff I ended up buying two pairs of jeans and two sets of studd bow earrings. The event was very busy and people with lots of shopping bags and goodie bags that they had bought..Here is a sneak peak of my photos from London Fashion Weekend.

I walked into a room full of fur I couldn’t of been more excited and couldn’t stop smiling, it reminds me of walking into the vintage designer room at Liberty. I had to look and touch every item to see how soft it was and sadly it came with a hefty price tag as well. Here are some photos I had to take.
