my favourites from fashion week

3.1 Phillip LimAcne ErdemRichard Nicoll Proenza Schouler

very beautiful collections for SS11. i'm thinking mushy lilacs, leather, thin wool, camel and blue, pleated skirts, sheer blouses, hem dyes, coral. yum.

Outfit in Trafalgar Square

friday, me and sammie quickly headed to london for dinner and museums after our first week of school was (finally) over. now the weather has dramatically gone down in degrees, i thought i could finally whack out my duffle coat which has been itching to be worn since i bought it. (duffle coat; topshop, chain bag; vintage; ebay, wedges; new look, black rimmed socks; topshop , bowler hat; H&M)

(camel t-shirt; brothers, topman, leather belt; vintage, charity shop, black skirt; H&M)
sammie looking fine in her maxi dress and leather jacket, and then our shoes. it was a good night, then followed by an amazing weekend! house party on saturday night, then getting the midnight bus (wasn't stabbed, you hear that mum?) to lucys with a bunch of the party gooers and staying over. did you all have a nice weekend? :)

Septemberness

in love with the septemberness of everything , the colour of the sky and leaves are so gorgeous right now. i've only been wearing jeans and my new jumper after school, but it's so warm and i can tell i'm going to love it already. (cable knit jumper; topshop, jeans; H&M, wedges; new look)

but i've also been very busy purchasing other essentials for winter. including a gorgeous navy topshop duffle coat, another cable knit cardigan (which i bought in the summer from ebay, 99p!) and a camel coloured duffle coat which i also bought last year from ebay (£7!) which has just been sitting in my attic. i'm REALLY on a spending ban now though. this past few weeks have been a blow on my ebay profits and car boot sale money, and also the savings in my bank so i'm going to (hopefully) cut down now. watch this space..

Work attire

as you know, this week i'm working in cath kidston in covent garden, which i'm really liking! everyone is so nice, and i love helping out customers and going into the stock room and seeing next seasons products! i love nearly every single thing in there, haha. but with only getting a camera literally this morning, i haven't had anytime to take any pictures so i'm apologising for my absence. also work has kept me pretty busy.

cropped mink coloured jumper; bik bok; £25, tapered style trousers; topshop boutique; £45, green felt boater hat; ebay; 99p, vintage navy quilted bag; £12.50, wedges; new look; £25

Disposables

some film pictures i recently got developed. i love the surprise of when they come back, and the strange effects. enjoy!

1. me.

2. lucy, sammie, aya, ellie in trafalgar square.
3. lucy, my room.
4. ellie, aya, sammie, lucy on the steps in trafalgar square.
5. gabby, vicky, tom, sammie, me, aya on the beach.
6. my cluttered dressing table.

theres something about film that brings me back to it everytime. the cameras i used were disposables and my canon IXUS 790, and they were pretty cheap to develop.

in other news, i'm starting work experience tomorrow! first week i'm spending at my old primary school with my friends, and the second week i'm working at the cath kidston store in covent garden. hello discounts and spending all day surrounded by floral! i still haven't got a digital camera though so i wont be taking any pictures (cue me to cry). wish me luck!
