The sun came out for the third day of London Fashion Week, so I was able to pop this sleeveless tunic from Miss Selfridge on. I kept things quite simple, mainly because I was starting to get fashion fatigue, so paired it with cropped boyfriend jeans and simple sandals - adding a bit of colour and texture with the silver Aspinal of London Essential Pouch.
I only had the Vivienne Westwood show that day (protests and clashing prints - classic Viv) so eased myself in to the day with brunch at the Charlotte Street Hotel and catching up on a bit of work before heading to the show. Unfortunately the rain was horrendous for the other two days of LFW (you win some, you lose some) so this is my last outfit from my time there. Until next time, London.

After wearing heels all day on the first day of London Fashion Week, day two was all about the comfort: enter flats and a floaty ensemble that was basically glorified pyjamas. The sun was out and it was gorgeously warm so this proved to be the perfect outfit for the day - what's great about these culottes is that they're layered, with button detail down the front to turn it into a skirt should you wish to change it up.
Saturday was a lot more relaxed, starting off with the Orla Kiely presentation (think 1970s Stepford Wives playing mini golf) and then Markus Lupfer (dark floral prints, embellishments and - amazingly - luchador printed tees and trousers) - head over to Coggles to read my full show reports from LFW. After that, we headed for a spot of lunch and a look at the designer showrooms, before heading back to our apartment to catch up on work and get ready for the Versus Versace after party (so much fashion).
Lust of the Week: River Island Tailored Coat
Now that autumn is slowly creeping in, my hunt for the perfect winter coat is well and truly on. Tailored coats with a hint of masculinity are quite possibly my favourite style; I love the smart look that they have, as well as the fact that it can basically just become your outfit and still look really good.
A camel coat is always a good one to invest in - I've had one from Zara for quite a few years but now it's totally knackered so I'm looking for a suitable replacement. This one from River Island is a strong contender - I love the shape and the cut, plus the addition of block colours and zip detail just makes it that little bit more special.

My first day at London Fashion Week was a hectic one; the new space in Brewer Street was manic to say the least (someone is definitely going to get run over...) and we spent the day running from show to show, writing up show reports in between and trying to dodge the dowpour. J. JS Lee, Eudon Choi and John Smedley were standout shows for me - gorgeous minimalist pieces that were given life with incredible attention to details. Head over to Coggles to see my full write ups from all of the shows.
This was my chosen look for the day - dark rust, loose-fit cropped trousers and a pale blue long length shirt over the top (how amazing is the side detail?) both from good old Zara. The colour combination is slightly school uniformy, but I think it works. To finish, I wore my heels from & Other Stories - I love the construction of them and the platform makes them comfortable enough to walk around London in.

With the last days of summer upon us, I've been taking advantage of the (kind of) warm weather we've been having recently by creating some transitional looks. Anyone who follows this blog regularly will know I'm a massive fan of culottes and any kind of layering, so this outfit was a bit of a no brainer for me. I love the contrast of khaki and white, plus I think there's something really nice about having a flash of culotte between the split of the jacket. Add a pair of slip-on mules and you've got yourself an easy outfit.
P.S I'm heading to London Fashion Week tomorrow! Make sure you follow me on Instagram and Twitter for daily outfits and the latest from the shows.
