Mad Hatter - Brooklyn Hat Company

October 19, 2016

Hey guys, today I woke up and there was a bit of a crispness in the air!!! That was exciting because I started to think how this time of year is just perfect for taking your autumnal pieces out for a spin, as well as start buying the staples that will further shape your A/W wardrobe this season.

I started with my beautiful new brim from Brooklyn Hat Company. The classic style of this hat pairs perfectly with my personal style especially since I tend to go for vintage inspired items. I opted for the hat in black because (duh), but another drawing factor towards this hat was the unique feather detail. It's super cute.

Another great quality of this hat is that although it's felt wool, it has a satin lining that works so well with my naturally coily, kinky hair. Wool, and different synthetic materials tend to dry out my hair, but this hat is perfect.

If you want your very own, Brooklyn Hat Company wool hat they are available at small fashion boutiques and larger retailers like, Free People, Anthropology, Fred Segal, Rue La La, Urban Outfitters and online at Head Change.

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

October 12, 2016

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!!!

Outfit deets - shirt and boots: Primark; rollneck: The Limited; skirt: Zara; tote: Boy by Boy

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.
