LFW Outfit Post

Hi everyone! On Day 2 at LFW I was excited to share my look from retailers at Highpoint Shopping Centre that they generously provided for the big event. Unfortunately it was a grey and miserable day with pockets of rain so I had to change my outfit at the last minute. I actually enjoy the challenge of changing a look with little preparation. I find the rushed decision allows me to create something new and exciting that I may not have considered otherwise.

I'm wearing this amazing a Rodeo Show dress and belt from their new collection and layered with a feminine detailed, embellished cardigan from Alannah Hill. I accessorised with an Olga Berg two tone clutch and my new beige booties from Jo Mercer.

LFW Day 1

Wow, what an amazing first day at London Fashion Week. My day began with a blow wave from the amazing Toni&Guy owhich was set up at the Designer Showroom at Somerset Hall the main venue for LFW and what an incredible and charming venue. I was spoilt rotten with champagne and many laughs from the amazing staff. 

Later I was invited backstage at the Nian and the Ping He shows where I watched the amazing Toni & Guy team style the models hair and make-up. Can you believe Toni & Guy are celebrating their 50th year? They are celebrating by flying teams of Toni & Guy from all over the world to LFW. They are also welcoming 'label.m' as the official haircare product range of London Fashion Week.
It wasn't as chaotic backstage as I've seen in the past; designers, models, hair and make-up artist worked efficiently and united whilst listening to chilled music. Media teams were spread amongst the very beautiful Freemasons Hall adding content immediately after collections were presented down the runway. I have to thank the incredible Toni and Guy team for inviting me into their showrooms and backstage. 

After these shows I rushed over to the incredible Jean-Pierre Braganza with another Aussie, gorgeous Kat, digital marketing coordinator for Toni & Guy Australia, back at Somerset House. She generously escorted me to the show. I fell in love with this incredible collection. Check out his work below.

LFW Street Style

There is nothing more enjoyable than people watching during LFW.  I could spend hours admiring the diversity and originality of London street style. Check out the street style looks I've  gathered so far from LFW.

I was excited to be wearing my own designed outfit from my next collection. It is one of my samples and I gave it a good test run. I was overwhelmed by the response the outfit received and was lucky enough to be snapped up by several bloggers and media. Check out my look below.

I hope you enjoy.

Stay tuned for more street style...

  

See you tomorrow!

Arriving in London

After a tiring and very long 25 hour journey to London, we finally arrived. And it was worth the wait, as I have already fallen in love with this city. Dusty and I arrived a day before London Fashion Week allowing us to explore the city and get some early shopping done. During this short exploration, I could identify the key style of Londoners. There is a strong 'hipster' influence. I thought people in Brooklyn were the masters of the 'Hipster' look but I think they actually fall second to Londoners. My favourite aspect of fashion in London is that the charm and appeal of the historical architecture is definitely an influence in the way people dress.. There is a real sense of classic tailoring. Even though it may sound contrary to 'hiptsers' everyone seems to appear very polished and put together, I love it!!

I thought I'd share my first look in London with you. It was very grey and a little drizzly with small pockets of sun, but fortunately not too cold.  I'm dressed in Highpoint retailers, for more details of the products check out the bottom of this post. These Seed pants are so incredibly comfortable!!!

I'll post about my amazing first day at fashion week soon.

Stay tuned...
