London Fashion Week Favourites...so far

Whilst journalists fight for the front row seat, bloggers line up with cameras and wannabees push through the crowds: I am at home, working whilst the buzz of London Fashion Week ticks on.

I so wish I had got my act together and got myself there this year, definitely on my bucket list for next year but alas, at least I can share with you my favourite looks through I want, I need. As you know, I am a slave to the high street but it all starts somewhere and of course, London Fashion Week is the best place to spot the trends that will be transported onto your doorsteps in the likes of River Island, New Look and more.

Jena Theo stole day 1 for me. These looks are right up my street; edgy, grungy but packed full of colour showing grunge doesn't have to be all black. I love that the skater skirt is still going strong and am over the moon with this pink - such a great shade for A/W - nice and bright but a deep enough shade for the colder season. The paint splattered prints are very New York Urban to me, anyone else? I think this is something the high street is going to latch onto with us maybe seeing paint splattered leggings and tunics teamed with wet look leggins and disco pants. The final look I chose to show in this collection has a Motel vibe to it and I am sure they won't let me down with a skater skirt similar to this one.




Day 2 hits for me were Antipodiums bright colour collection and Sister by Siblings casual knits. It is so refreshing to see these neons from S/S are going to be continued right through to winter. I feel these two looks will again be easily transferred to our favourite high street stores. The bright neon yellow dress has stirred an excitement in me I didn't know I had for neon yellow, I would love to rock this outfit! This dress particularly screams River Island to me where I predict neon silky camis looking fab with patent heels and leather jackets.


I adore the Preen collection by Thorn Bregazzi. The subtle injection of the neon orange is grungy yet fun for the winter months. I would do anything for this collard shirt, it is so me, (as they say) and I think it would be a fierce addition to any working wardrobe to update your staple suits. This dress also caught my eye, cute and sexy the deep neckline plunges you from good girl next door to sexy senorita. I really hope to see this pattern and cut on the high street as I have my purse at the ready.

And of course, you got to love a bit of Mulberry. this smock dress would be a fabulous statement piece to any wardrobe; being able to layer it up with knits and jeweled collars to simple courts for the office. I don't know how I feel about the whole ' dress-over-the-trousers' look: kind of reminds me of my teenage days where I was desperately trying to be Avril Lavigne. Bright pink skirtini over my HUGE flares only sends shivers down my spine but I am sure Mulberry is going for a more sophisticated type of look and not taking inspiration from my muddled up childhood fashion. Tapered capri pants is definitely more their style. However, I am sure, Mulberry will make it work as after all, they can make anything fabulous.
