London Fashion Week


In September, I attended London Fashion Week on behalf of FASHION Magazine. This was my third time to this fashion week, and I felt MUCH more organized, much less lost in the city.

As usual, there were tons of paparazzi everywhere—at LFW, the crazier your outfit, the better. (*Note: bragging alert*) Here are some of the photos I found of myself. I was especially pleased—chuffed, as we'd say here in London—with those on the Harper's Bazaar and Telegraph sites.

Origami sweater by 3.1 Phillip Lim; chartreuse long-sleeved dress by Zara; bag by Chloé; and sandals by Marni. This was my "Crayola" outfit.

Floral shirt by Equipment; sequined cardigan by Marc by Marc Jacobs; aqua corduroy jeans by J Brand; bag by Chloé; and shoes by Yves Saint Laurent.

A detailed shot of my ring, tattoo and bag for the French site, L'Express.

Dress by Surface to Air; fur gilet by Zara; scarf by Aritzia; clutch by Club Monaco; and boots by Rodarte for Opening Ceremony. I couldn't decide which colour socks to wear so I wore one of each. 

I look a bit nuts; Elliot calls it my "crazy girl" photo—and it appeared on the Sky Living website! Damn.

Of course, fashion week is really about the editors, celebrities, and It girls designers that show their collections, so here are a few highlights from spring. And to think that it's all starting to hit stores now!

Love the stripe/floral combos at Ashish.

Love the pops of cobalt blue at Emilio de la Morena. (And yep, that's Caroline Issa's face, there.)

Fantastically wacky cow print jumpsuit at House of Holland.

G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S espadrilles by Christian Louboutin for Jonathan Saunders. I need these.

More sorbet shades and pastels at Jonathan Saunders. I really loved this '50s Miami housewife-inspired collection. 

Cool shades in signature bunny-ear shapes at Peter Jensen.

I wasn't a huge fan of this Egyptian-inspired Topshop Unique collection, but I did like the sporadic Elizabeth Taylor references.

Blurry shot - but the plastic flower appliqués on this sheer organza shirt by Christopher Kane is on my wish list. And I'm still coveting his gel-filled clutch from FW11!

More gorgeous florals, this time at Erdem.

Autumnal shades for spring at Burberry. I'm also loving those striped, woven straw riding caps.


Love this swan reference at Giles and the metallic blazer. It felt very Christmas-y, though.


Floral pantsuits at Mary Katrantzou. The lady is a genius.

I also loved the sheer trains Mary Katrantzou paired over some of the skirts. It had a cool mullet effect.

There's something laidback and cool about this undone hair (at Aquascutum). 


Of course, I like this bow-embellished raffia clutch by Anya Hindmarch. And the strawberry minaudière is ever so cute.
