Topshop Unique AW13 Live with Google+ #LFW

It's already Day 3 of London Fashion Week - Can you believe it?
So, I'm sure I wasn't the only one, who had their eye's glued to their computer screens, watching the TopShop AW13 Live streaming today! There was so many beautiful textures, from sequins to furs and beautiful 'subtle' clashing of your favourite shades.
It was so amazing to get the whole FROW experience, while sitting in my living room! They even had a 'models view' where the camera's were fitted especially into the models handbags!

There was a few particular designs that stood out for me...
My all time favourite was the finale piece, which was this stunning Sequin Jumpsuit. Every girl should want a piece like this for their AW13 wardrobe! I love the simple cut, with a splash of colour used for make-up, that complemented the whole look perfectly. 

Talking about the subtle colour clashes, really stood out for me with PINK ON PINK. It seem's us girls may finally have an excuse to look like our inner Barbie, and style it amazingly too! I just love this whole look, as the sheepskin fur gives the biker jacket a new twist. There's nothing better than looking good in Winter, but being warm with it! Again, the make-up, clashing with pale blue eye-shadow, actually works well to 'make a statement,' without being overpowering. 

This next look from the Unique show, really stood out as a classic piece from the collection. It reminded me of my day's in my Paddington bear red Wellington boots. How Topshop managed to consider to incredible rain fall in the UK when it designed such wear's is beyond me! The gorgeous patterns of the tunic, are also a great example of change this fall. Rather than contrast your whole outfit, you can concentrate on pairing subtle colour contrasts, to create this look. 



Finally, I fell in love with these two designs, of Fierce red, black and white combinations. To the Left, silk make a huge comeback, with a few pieces from the collection featuring 'pyjama style' jumpsuits, with matching scarf's. To the right, oversized coat's with panelling looks effortless, and paired up with Red ankle boots, is sure to be huge talk during Autumn!




Well that's all, did anyone else get the chance to catch the live showing of the Topshop Unique collection?
What did you think? I loved the effortless style, - especially the models hair!

Lot's of Love,

Say Hello, London Fashion Week 2013! #day1

London Fashion Week has officially started today - Hurrray! Although I'm currently bunged up with a cold, I've been so excited all day! (Sorry to my twitter followers!)



For many high street shoppers, you see London Fashion Week as just another opportunity for designers to go crazy with ridiculous looking outfits and super skinny models. DO NOT BE FOOLED! You might be purchasing a copy of one of those very 'ridiculous' outfits, from your local high street shops! For this reason, I'm constantly inspired by Fashion Week and when it's my turn to take part, (fingers crossed for SS14) it will be like fulfilling a childhood dream!

So with Autumn/Winter 2013 Fashion Week underway, I'm going to be filling you in with each day's highlights as they come - selecting my favourites and telling you how these amazing designs could be some of your favourite pieces of Autumn 2013!

 One of my favourite designers from today's Fashion shows is Zoë Jordan! I loved the wide range of patterns and textures that graced their way down the catwalk! I found the whole of the show so wearable - especially the warm oranges and fur jackets (though maybe not together)! Zoe is definitely a designer to watch!  With such original designs, I'd definitely fill my winter wardrobe with Zoe's designs.
 Bora Aksu was another designer to watch today in London. I'm obsessed with the stunning patterns of this collection (especially the far right!). The start of the show focused on neutral colours - from the transition of Summer to Autumn and the later part was a pop of colour in the form of fuchsias and raspberry pinks. Like many of the Fashion Week collections, there was so many gorgeous textures in the range, and headpieces seem to a central way to accessorize for this Autumn.
 Textures went to a whole new level in the KTZ collection today. I hope you like a lot of leather! Everything leather,  from shoes, leggings to jackets - made the KTZ range so distinctive, yet linked beautifully. Oversized hat's looked great, and the vibrant colours in similar collections (Zoë Jordan) also appeared in KTZ collection, and look great in contrast to the dark tones!

So, that's my highlights from today's London Fashion Week, I'll be posting more over the next few days - so lookout.

Also, I'm currently preparing for my first Giveway - how exciting!

Lots of Love,

Never to old to be the New Face Louis Vuitton!

Posting from my death bed... 
well not literally! But feeling Ill as can be, I've bunked the evening off dance, and managed to find another exciting topic to rant on about, especially for you fashion lovers!(oh lucky you!)

Since my visit to London 2 weeks ago, (and with another trip due this Sunday) I've been struck by the Latest Louis Vuitton campaign, that was showcased throughout Selfidges! This re-occurring 'Spots' has taken the Worlds Fashion industry by surprise. So, I thought it would be my mission to find out what all fuss was about and who this 'wonder woman' was, starring in this World Wide Campaign. 

Well, after my tireless hours of endless research (more like a quick Google search), I have all the answers you've been looking for...and more!

When the 'Career' talk comes up at school. . .

It's Thursday - Not long to the weekend YAY!

Ever heard the phrase: 'When I grow up I wan't to be an astronaut'. Or 'I wan't to be just like Barbie when I'm a big girl'. Well unluckily for me, I've had my Career's information evening today, and no, I cannot be a fairy princess like Cinderella, when I finish my studies! 

So It's finally come down to that all important discussion 'What am I going to do with my life, when I leave my School for the big wide world'. And between summing up my options, I'm still at square one. I'm now on a mission to do work experience for the next 12 months and finally work out what it is I want to do!

Some Mid Week London Fashion Week Highlights X

From my kitchen table, eating a spoonful of peas, watching Deal or No Deal, I thought I'd share my week's favourites from the London Fashion Week Highlights! So here you go, sit back (drop that extra homework, or over load from work) and enjoy!

Here's the J.W Anderson Women Spring/Summer collection. I actually love this! The ruffles look great, and it gives me hope through the cold winter months, that a gorgeous collection in spring is coming my way - YAY!

Girl Meets London X

Goooooood Afternoon :)

What a weekend it's been!

I haven't had a moment to get blogging all weekend - so sorry about that! But I've been touring the wonderful city of London! No, I didn't get those front row seats at London Fashion Week - But maybe next year, eyy? Although, I did have a brilliant time gliding down Regent Street gazing into the elegant shop windows, then catching the tube to Oxford street and buying the high-street 'Primarni' or Primark eddition for myself!

I also saw (as you know I'm obsessed with musicals) Ghost the musical! It was just amazing - if you haven't seen it yet, the show is due to close from West End, so make sure you see it! I was so impressed with the staging, and the special effects had me gasping (and crying I must say!). So yeah, definitely a 'top of Blondie's list' in terms of must see musicals!

For the girls who wish they could have been at New York Fashion Week X

#hey girlie's! It's the weekend - Yay!

I'm hoping I'm not the only person wishing she could have gone to New York Fashion Week - only dreaming of how amazing it would be! So if you've been like me and stalking press photos or the latest news; the catwalk has showcased some truly stunning pieces! And with London Fashion Week here (oh yes!) I thought I'd give you a few of the New York Highlights!

Oh, and while were at it, GUESS WHO'S GOING TO LONDON TOMORROW? ME!!!!! God i love that city! Though not for a front seat on the fashion catwalk - though it's killed me not being able to get tickets! :'*(

Still, while I'm on a hyper note about visiting my favourite city, I've stolen some Press shots from New York Fashion week, for all you fashionista's to ponder over (and hopefully help you burst with inspiration!). If I don't get chance to update over the weekend, I'll ensure I take lots of lovely 'tourist' shots of the big city!
Love Blondie X
