Sneaky Peak..

Here are a few images from my latest project at University. I did the art direction and styling for this shoot. It was my first experience at both jobs so I was really nervous but I'm really pleased with the outcome. These are the images that my photographer had edited but I am yet to edit a few myself. I will pop them on when I have finished!

A Weekend Home!

It was so lovely to take some time out and travel back to Dorset (my home county), with one of my friends from uni. Being away for months on end is hard as I miss my Mum so much, so I love it when I get a free weekend to go home and breath some sea air! And catch up with all my friends of course. I took a few snaps...



Myself, Natalina & my sister Anna at the beach with my beautiful pooch Gucci!


Gucci had dirty paws!


Very pleased with my new MAC blue lipgloss! I don't think Bournemouth appreciated it in the same way London does though. Got some very funny looks as I wandered around town!


Finally...

So I have been really busy and am yet to finish up the excitement that was London Fashion Week!
Here are the last few snaps I got of the fun I had:


Outfit from Day 1
Coat: Vintage, Shirt: D&G, Leggings: Sass & Bide, Boots: Marni, Bag: Vintage


My friends and I in the press lounge. Day 2 Outfit although it's hard to see sorry!
Blazer: Jack Wills, Top: Topshop, Leggings: Century 21 (I never checked the brand!), Boots: Hunter Regent Savoy


Day 4 (I have previously posted Day 3 at the Vivienne Westwood show)
Shirt: Vintage, Blazer: Topshop, Coat: Vintage, Velvet Leggings: Topshop, Bag: Vintage
Julia and I posing outside the press lounge.


Excited to meet the lovely Alexa Chung outside the Christopher Kane show (one of the only shows we failed to get into, but it turned out to be worth heading down anyway!).



Joe Zee (creative director of Elle US) and I. Joe is a massive inspiration for me and I was honoured 
to meet him.


Day 5: Outfit was not at it's best today. Stress of back log of work and having to go to actual work resulted in a poor appearance. Blazer: Topshop, Shirt: Vintage, Bag: Marc Jacobs
I had previously been very envious at my friend Marta meeting Olivia Palermo, a style icon of mine, and couldn't believe my luck when on the final day I met her myself!


And so it came to an end.. the best week of my entire life! All can say is roll on September!

Maria Francesca Pepe

This was an incredible presentation. It was shown at the Freemasons Hall and you could see the attention to every detail. The lighting was so different, just beautiful, and another thing I noticed was the incredible gold glitter dipped nails. Also considering it was a presentation and the models were sitting in one place for long amounts of time the models didn't have that awkward look of those at the Christian Blanken show.













My favourite above!



Christian Blanken

The first presentation I saw at LFW. To be honest I prefer shows purely because the model's looked so awkward stood for ages with everyone watching them. But the collection was stunning and very wearable.













Marios Schwab

Interesting hair styles at the Schwab show. I was very excited to sit behind Yasmin Le Bon on second row, and actually met her after. I think she did a wonderful job walking for the Issa show so it was great to talk to her. The dresses with lots of pearl detailing were stunning and he used one signature 'igloo' like dress that i didn't manage to photograph that really stood out.
