AUTUMN: DAY ELEVEN

DAY ELEVEN: Hot pink chunky knit, Zara

During the menswear day of LFW, I had a little time to kill between shows and somehow, I ended up in Zara where I came across a fluorescent pink chunky knit. Now, those of you who've been reading for a while will know that earlier in the year, I decided to step out of my monochrome comfort zone and into colour. Needless to say, despite my best efforts, over time I have once again scuttled back to my black-and-white box.

Maybe it was the sleep deprivation or the food deprivation oh so common during fashion week, but suddenly I found myself unable to leave the shop without this jumper. And since then, I have worn it so often, it has become my best cost-per-wear purchase of the season. I call it my I-don't-wear-pink pink jumper, as seen here as Simona and I traipsed around the Albert Docks of Liverpool:

Worn with: grey skinny jeans, Miss Selfridge; Leopard print scarf, Louis Vuitton; Studded boots, ASH; Leather bag, Jaeger; Wayfarer sunglasses, Ray-Ban.

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?
