Just.worn: LFW Day 1

Day 1: Rocking my Piers Atkinson 'London' headband with the Margeila lab coat. Wearing  a H&M black jumpsuit and Topshop loafers.

I unbelievably managed to drag myself out of bed this morning, it had to be the lure of all the SS12 collections that compelled me to brave the freezing cold outside! Day 1complete and I am exhausted already! Found myself surrounded by a mass of press and buyers, it was all I could do to spot the designers, models and celebs amongst the chaos, yet I'm sure no one missed me with my massive happy to help badge, it was all questions and directions. Must sleep now, as tomorrow I must awake at the same unhumanly hour for the commute and I hope to snap lots of pics tomorrow.

Just.wear: LFW Margeila & Atkinson

Here's a sneak peak of what i'll be wearing for the duration of fashion week...

One Maison Margeila'esque' lab coat, MAC lipstick and an awesome Piers Atkinson 'London' headband. I'm hoping I can pull off the lab coat look, but its gonna be tricky... However I am in love with my 'London' headband, I fell i love with Pier's Atkinson's 'Anna's headpiece (inspired by Anna Pigalli, Anna Dello-Russo and Anna Wintour I believe) and now I have my own version! =D

Totally excited now, but cannot believe I am up this early in the morning writing this, bring on the madness that is London Fashion Week!

Just.worn: The Calm Before the Storm


This look for me equals the ultimate in laid back chic and comfort. Knowing I would be on my feet a lot during training I chose my Springcourts to literally give me that spring in my step. Teaming my Replay denim cut offs with a h&m black tee. Rocking my vintage gold aviators with my beautifully studded and completely bottomless bag. All I can say in this look is bring on the training!

I made my final trip up to Somerset House before Fashion Week goes live and it all kicks off. A last day of training to go over the final details. It was amazing to see how the courtyard had be transformed into the venue that hosts one of the worlds biggest fashion events. Teams of people had been working tirelessly behind the scenes preparing the exhibition spaces, the VIP lounges, the BFC catwalk tent, preparing everything down to the very last detail.

Fully briefed and issued with my uniform and cheeky goody bag, I only hope I can survive all the early mornings! (Although, just the mere thought of seeing all the best designers and the who's who of fashion provides more than enough incentive to brave my alarm clock for the next 6 days)!

P.s All will be revealed as to what I will be wearing for uniform soon enough.

Charlotte Free, the model, the American rebel, the new sensation? This pink haired beauty is the one of the latest girls to cause a stir with her original and edgy style. Hotly tipped as one of the new faces to watch, see how she fairs in the Stylenoir approved: Top 5 Models for SS12.

Just.bought: New Suede Shoes

Dr Martens Classic Brogue

I have been intrigued by the growing trend of creepers and platform shoes as chunky soles were steadily creeping up inch by inch on the runway. It was not long before the high street followed suit and fully embraced the trend. Brands such as Underground (the original british punks) have collaborated with popular high street stores Topshop and Urban Outfitters creating new and exclusive designs.

Initially I thought these bold designs were a little to punk for me and thought about settling for one of the slightly more tailored wearable styles offered by Office . However being the dreaded half size, try as I might I couldn't find a pair in either style to fit! I had just about given up and started my search for another footwear trend when... I glanced upon this pair of Dr Martens. I knew I had to own them, I just hoped this would finally be my Cinderella pair. I tentatively asked the shop assistant for my size, my eyes followed her to the stockroom, disappear and then return, clutching THE shoes. I slowly laced each one up, they were perfect! I could not have been happier if Prince Charming had laced them up himself. I had found my 'glass slippers'.

Just.worn: My Lucky Day


Unfortunately I cannot claim full responsibility for the sun appearing after my interview or for the fact I correctly predicted the weather by gambling on shorts. I guess luck was on my side, as not only did I emerge from my interview into the beautiful sunshine, with a job. Only to be honest, this was only revealed after a nail biting bank holiday weekend of constant and religious email checking. 

Once again I am back at Somerset House, this time for an afternoon of training. So today I kept my look relaxed. Teaming my white converse with rolled up sleeves on my oversized shirt tucked into a leather look skirt from Next. This time tucking my skull studded bag under my arm to complete the look.

I am so excited and cannot wait to start work at this seasons London Fashion Week, and what a week it will be!
