So, this post is longggg overdue, but going to London Fashion Weekend was such a good experience to have, even though I may not have got the publicity I hoped for, it was a massive learning curve.Seeing all different people with different styles, I went to one of the talks that Camilla Morton was the guest speaker for. Hearing some of her acquired knowledge, wisdom and experiences was uplifting and inspirational. She was also easily approachable and answered all questions in detail. She gave the solution to all the doubts and questions I had about writing in fashion, but also didn't 'sugarcoat' the industry. She made it known that it was no ball game, it was either you put the work in and prepare for all the sleepless nights ahead, or you get nowhere. You also always have to have an opinion, there's no two ways about it, you had to hate something or love something, there's no time for faffing around in the 'middle'. I look forward to reading and purchasing her books but most importantly 'How to Walk in High Heels'.

Whilst walking round I purchased a Cheap Monday shirt for £5 and the Maybelline 'Black Shock' Gel liner. I also collected my LFW 'goodie bag' which is free with ticket purchase, inside was a number of items, but the best were the first issue of the HELLO:FASHION magazine (which featured the one and only Olivia Palermo), Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, Garnier Cleansing Wipes, the Label M Blow Out Spray and Essie Turqoise Nail Polish.

I also saw the Trend Catwalk Show hosted by THEOUTNET.COM, which feautred AW14 trends that were really cool and wearable, the looks were all about colour with models head to toe in many different pastel colours, greens, pinks, purples, reds and also some prints.

LFW BEST DRESSED

23.9.14 yasminyusuf 0 Comments













There were so many looks to choose from but these ones made me die a little inside. In my opinion Rosie Fortescue (MIC star) was the one to beat for me, she completely smashed all her looks this LFW, she always manages to look good but these looks had a bit of extra flare, I couldn't help but be enticed by them. She had four outfit's in total, all those changes in one day, how? I do not know. But anyway back to the point. The four different outfits and the slick-back hair just made me want to shake her hand and say 'well done' it's like she made me proud even though she has no knowledge of my existence, lol. Proudlock too, I love his effortless stlye, and wild suit choice to second the stand-out tartan suit he wore last LFW. I added in a few 'street style' pictures, just to mix it up a little and obviously because I was infatuated by them, the looks were just so clean and refreshing. 'THE SLUMFLOWERs' look was one of them. It was puzzling but in the most positive manner, you look at it and don't even know what to think, you can only be intrigued, which is what fashion is about.

WEARING:

TIE DYE CROP JUMPER│RAGGED PRIEST
MOM JEANS│TOPSHOP
TRAINERS│NIKE AIR WINDRUNNERS
WHITE BACKPACK│PRIMARK
GOLD CHAIN
ROUND SUNGLASSES│H&M
RINGS│FOREVER 21

I recently purchased this tie dye jumper by Ragged Priest and Blue High Waisted MOTO Mom Jeans during sale season whilst rummaging through Topshop. The crop jumper I bought for £15 and the jeans for £10 and £10 only, from £40 to £10? Funnily enough I didn't buy these mom jeans from an actual Topshop store, I bought them from Topshop inside Debenhams (anyone that knows me knows I love that little Topshop in Debenhams) Anyways, I almost fainted when I saw the price, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this pair of jeans and they were the LAST pair on the rack, it was basically fate.

On another note, I'm so excited to be attending London Fashion Weekend. I've wanted to go for a long time, but never had the chance, now I have the job of putting together a super bomb outfit to wear and blog, I'll also definitely be doing a post of all my favourite looks over the days.
