London Fashion Weekend SS16!

So as you know, last Sunday I went up to London Fashion Weekend!

After a no show at events last year (aside from a VERY last minute dash to the Ragged Priest SS16 sneak peek in December). I wanted to get back on it this year and go try to go to both Fashion weeks (next London one being in Sept) as I have never been before.

I went along to catch up on the last day with this seasons new styles with a "trend" catwalk at the Saatchi Gallery in London. Sorry the photos are abit fuzzy and not to great as they are taken on Iphone! I am still hoping to buy my new camera soon but booking a holiday comes first! :)

After finding my way to the gallery the event was spread out on three floors, the lower floor was a shopping mecca for those who had some spare monies (was the day before payday for me so unfortunately no shopping took place! *sobs*) with many designer brands being sold at really good discount prices.

Amongst my faves were Fyodor Golan (if you haven't checked out these guys instagram and love My Little Pony you may want to check them out asap!) , Antipodium and the contellation print dress people below, I lost the card they gave me with the brand name on!! If anyone knows what it is please comment!

There were also stands from Sunglasess hut, which as you can see were totally packed! I am not really a sunnies person unless the weather is really hot but love these House of Holland pink frames!

The second floor was the Catwalk, which was so huge!

And lastly the top floor was accessories and of course, the LFW goody bag which I had to get!

It was a botanical print tote (more coming up on botanical prints later) filled with:

A full size Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Moisturiser
Maybelline Baby Lips Dr Rescue Lip Balm
A handbag sized Label M Protein Hair Spray
A Mango Urban Fruit Snack Pack
x2 coffee sachets by Lavazza & Pukka
Hello! Monthy Fashion Magazine
A £40 Hello Fresh Voucher

Maybelline & Toni & Guy were also busy on hand to get you glammed up for the day!

Now on to the Catwalk. I chose the Trends Catwalk over the Designer as I desperately wanted to know what looks will be around this Spring and that I can seriously lust over as they will be more affordable! :)

The Catwalk included clothes from Very and showcased 4 key trends to watch out for this spring: Botanicals, New Romantics, Bold Colours, and New Americana

What are your favourite key trends for this season?

I have to say I think the botanical and new romantics trends will be my wardrobe faves and the ones I am most excited about!

The Clothes Show 2014

If you haven't guessed already from my recent twitter feed & pics - I'm in Birmingham! yayyyy! For Christmas shoppyness and The Clothes Show :) :) I've been wanting to go to The Clothes Show for yeeeears so made sure this year I didn't miss it!

It was amazing! Def thinking of making this a yearly thing up to Brum! the fashion theatre was mind-blowing, and with 4 halls dedicated to fashion & beauty, there was something for everyone - For me I love finding new brands to worship & was urgently in need of some new brands to love & found heaps! so could of easily gone back again tomorrow!

What I wore:

Blue Velvet Mini Dress - Topshop Petite (not on website..may be an Oxford Circus exclusive!)
Floral Lace Tights - Primark

The halls were broken down in to Cheap & Chic, affordable fashion gifts and a model masterclass for those who wanted to learn how to strut their stuff down the runway with Select Model Management.
The Vintage Hall which was my fave place as it made you feel like you were in a 1960s Notting Hill Market and there was so much cool stuff to see including some of my faves from Graduate Asos Marketplace <3 and New Designers Hall was full of your many fav brands and beauty including Rimmel, Saks pamper lounge & designer outlet,

Below are some of my highlights of the day a little pic movie thing of the Fashion theatre- In the FROW! :D If you've never been to The Clothes Show before it is on until Tuesday or make sure you book tickets for next years!

Enjoy :) x
