Something Old, Something New

London Fashion Week Recap - The Good, bad and the Ugly

Hey guys I am so happy to come back to you with another blog post.  This post will be a short recap of my London Fashion Week experience. 

So the days leading up to fashion week, I started receiving all of my invites in the mail and receiving tons of e-vites from the PR agencies that were representing the designers and brands.  This is when all of the planning and organizing started, and it was at this point that I realized that I had to do some picking choosing because my shows/presentations were overlapping.  I couldn't believe that me of all people had to actually pick and choose shows to attend!!!

The Three Floor presentation was beautiful and full of colour.  I was really excited to see this new collection because the A/W 16 collection was so impressive.  Three Floor actually partnered with UN Women National Committee UK to create a limited edition capsule collection.  The brand also donated 20% of product sales to UN Women UK.

John Smedley collection was a modernized twist to his classic luxury knitwear.  Every piece possessed such functionality and sensibility.  The wool cashmere separates have striking silhouettes that are great for layering. 

Please check out my next post that will cover more from day 1 of LFW, as well as coverage from the entire week.

Ultra Lite Gleam - Metallics and Tweed

Hey guys, I hope you all have been well.  I know I am always apologising for the hiatus I take from the blog whenever I get busy in life.  But I am happy to be back with outfit post that should help with transitioning fashion into a/w 16.

I have paired one of my favorite metallic jumpers with this super cute hot pink tweed skirt.  Although it's really hard, I try to shy away from wearing black just because the weather may not be ideal.  I force myself to still dress as bright as possible simply because I believe my bright colors, brighten my mood.   Dressing bright even in colder months can help lift your spirits as well as those of the people around you.  I challenge each of you to not let the lowering temperatures affect your choice of clothing colors.  And especially during autumn months it may be easier to layer up those fun summer pieces with warmer clothes to create really cool looks.
