Event: Interflora for LFW
Last Tuesday Interflora invited me and a few other bloggers to take part in a very special event as part of London Fashion Week. We were asked to create a mood board on a British designer, then on the day a florist created a bouquet based on that mood board. I chose Mulberry, and based my board on their A/W 2013 collection...here it is:
The day took place at a gorgeous apartment in Clerkenwell and it was so much fun - the people at Interflora were lovely and treated us really well throughout. It was also great to catch up with Sophie, and meet other bloggers Lauren, Sarah, Lauren and Isabelle.
Natalie, the florist, really captured the feel of my mood board and the end result was gorgeous. All of the bouquets were stunning - the florists were so creative and all of them looked completely different - very impressed!
Discussing the mood board
I loved the use of Proteas - a flower you don't normally see out of South Africa!
How gorgeous is the colour of this rose?
Bark created an edgy contrast to the girliness of the rest of the bouquet and was a nod to Mulberry's A/W campaign with Cara Delevingne
The end result!
Me with the very talented Natalie who created this design! I'm wearing a Zara top, Asos skirt, Topshop ring, the blue and gold necklace is from Cinderela B and the gold chain is one I pinched off one of my clutch bags.
The smaller (and not so heavy!) version I took home
A massive thanks to Interflora for inviting me and providing me with these lovely photos!
Lust of the week: French Connection Evita Wool Classic Coat
This week I'm lusting after this gorgeous wool coat from French Connection. I'm really loving anything minimalist at the moment and this epitomises that trend - the colour, cut and shape is so clean and classic and it's the kind of coat you can wear year and year (provided you steer clear of tomato ketchup...) Anyone got a spare £250?!
Outfit: co-ord shirt and trousers
Shirt: H&M
Trousers: H&M
Wedges: Asos
Good evening all, hope you're enjoying LFW as much as I am - I've mainly been live streaming shows and keeping up-to-date via Twitter but I'm off to a couple of events tomorrow for the final day, and I can't wait to to share it all with you!
I bought this co-ord set back at the beginning of the year but somehow managed to miss it off the blog! I really love the print and it's pyjama-y but in a structured kind of way.

Lust of the week: Whistles silk dress in terrazzo print
My lust of the week comes from Whistles this week - a solid British, long-time favourite brand of mine. Although it edges on the pricier high-street side, their clothes are always impeccable and the sales are fantastic!
I love this dress - the print is camo-esque (which I'm seeing everywhere at the moment) but not so in your face and fancy-dress-ish. With such a graphic print, this simple shape works best, and I love the contrasting underlay which breaks it up a bit.
Whistles, you've done it again!
