AUTUMN: DAY TEN

As I mentioned in my previous grovelling post, straight after LFW finished, Simona and I hopped a train to head up for an overnight visit to Liverpool with a couple of other journos and the lovely girls from Chase PR to attend the opening of the first ever stand-alone store for Simply Be. Having rarely travelled beyond the Watford Gap, I was somewhat anxious about heading quite so far north but I have to say, Liverpool is an awesome city and full of lovely people who were super helpful when I dragged Simona around during our free time to try and locate a cheap army-issue parka. ANYWAY. Shall we have some photos?

Mmm champagne

The Powder Room girls gave guests mini manicures


What I wore: brown leopard scarf, Louis Vuitton; suede jacket, unknown; cream ruffled top, Topshop; Leather leggings, Oasis; Cream leather pumps, Office; Mini quilted bag, Chanel.

AUTUMN: DAY ONE

Okay, double apology owed. I promised I’d be back and it’s been, what, a week since? Sorry. My main reason has been a total swamping in my day-to-day job. As some of you may know, in the real world I work as a stylist for the UK newspaper The Daily Express. For our September 2nd edition, we decided to turn our main fashion on its head and rather than shoot the story on a model, this season our readers got to meet the team behind the pages:
For my trend, I chose Masculine - as you’ve probably gathered over the last year or so, I’m a big fan of the tomboy look. The outfit was pretty much my dream look and as such, I’ve bought pretty much everything since - I’m still in search of the Creepers from Underground. Long story as to why I don’t have them yet but we’ll come to that on another day. I have to say, it’s very weird being on the other side of the camera - it’s one thing when it’s on this blog and quite another when it’s in a national newspaper!



For those of you who can’t read the small print, here’s the full breakdown of my outfit:
Coat with leather sleeves, Topshop; Sheer leopard shirt, New Look; Wingtips, Asos; Trousers, Topshop; Creepers, Underground; Gold watch, Michael Kors
