London Fashion Week Street Style

London Fashion Week. Now lets not be unrealistic, of course I didn't get tickets and couldn't see the shows but what's the next best thing? STREET STYLE
All those amazingly dressed individuals rocking whatever they love to rock. Heaven!
And it is safe to say I met some of the coolest people ever, with some of my favourite pals..

Starting with a shameless selfie, this is me and Chloe looking fabulous in her Topshop skirt teamed with matching monochrome River Island handbag. River Island seem to be killing it recently, as that is also the label on my trousers; bought specially for the occasion. 



Next is this lovely lady who couldn't have looked cuter with her leather mouse ears cap. Oddly though, my favourite feature of her outfit has got to be her nail art!


These two beautiful models Chloe captured and I can completely understand why. Somehow they couldn't look more different but I love them equally. I'm not one for bright colours but her blue hair looks stunning and two-pieces are a favourite of mine; particularly from Topshop and MissGuided, their co-ordinates are always on point. 






I have always been fond of tattoos and can't wait to make my mind up on my own (I'm sure I'll begin  posting about tattoo designs soon enough), but this guy nailed it! A tattoo artist, soon to be designer, his Instagram is @weswesfreshink and he is definitely one to watch. Go check him out!!






So Scott Disick.




Here is another of my favourites! (Instagram: @hannahlouisef ) She is a law student and fashion blogger and I am in love with her poncho, let alone her whole wardrobe!



This is what I wore to fashion week. River Island trousers tracked down on ASOS for £35 with my ASOS platform sandals, a high neck knitted black cami from New Look and my Topshop chunky knit bomber caridgan.. A serious must have fyi! I wear it near enough everyday. 
I am incredibly into the 90s young Kate Moss trend at the moment and had been really struggling to find a pair of loose fit trousers that modernised her style. These £35 high waisted River Island ASOS trousers are perfection; ideal comfy smart fit and a faint grey check pattern which will go with so many styles and colours. 
Being at sixth form, I find them wonderful for everyday but would also be willing to wear them out with a lace cami top for example that I can't sadly wear to sixth form. 
They also come with a stunning belt which unfortunately can't be seen in these pictures as I tracked down a small chunky leather belt to suit my early Kate Moss obsession at the moment.

I also can't wait to wear these with heeled boots in the winter, eeeeek!


Another treasure that I had the pleasure of meeting is the darling Charlotte Fisher (Instagram: @charlottefisher and @charlottefisherswardrobe) I always love what she wears and she seems to be that little more darling with colour than me, so I'm hoping to take some inspiration from her this coming winter. 

These guys were just my style, complete black. 

Sorry for the spam of photography, I hope you realised how much I loved my day at Somerset House with some of the best people.

I stripped and got changed in a forest for these photos

Experimentation in fashion is vital to find your style and this week I have been experimenting with some Modern Victorian/Boho styles. Collections of wristbands, embroidered delicate tops and rustic leather boots are must-haves. 

  Charity Shop £3- originally from Next, kids department
Teamed with my Topshop black Joni jeans- favourite jeans 
Comfiest fit but always look great and can easily be dressed up



This was Sarah's top and from Miss Selfridge quite a few months ago now unfortunately. I found out, she has never worn this beauty!!! Love the embroidery and the arms on this top are an amazing bat-wing style; not usually a style I am drawn to but this one won me over with lace and well its overwhelming beauty.

Finally, these are my Kurt Geiger black leather ankle boots I managed to track down on eBay. I love them to pieces and can't wait until it gets that little bit colder to get my wear out of them. They go with everything and can complete any and every outfit but most of all they're KURT GEIGER and make me feel fabulous. 
So try mixing it up a little. 
Change can be difficult but it's style and it's meant to be messed with. You might think you've found yours but there's always more clothes to fall in love with.

Rock it from Rokit

This is an incredibly belated post but I finally went to Camden and I'm in love with my future home! Vintage shops have always been a passion of mine, and charity shops are my first love, but Rokit is a new level. A vintage clothing and accessories shop, Rokit first opened in 1986 in Camden  Town and has since grown in stores and the treasures they sell. 
Already wearing my "Mom" jeans from Topshop, and a Ted Baker black embellished vest from a local Charity Shop, I purchased at Rokit the cardigan shown above for just £13!!!!!!! 

I adore the combination of patterns and materials it is made from and couldn't be happier with my first winter purchase. There are so many beautiful colours within it meaning it will go with so much and can immediately add that vintage touch to any modern outfit, mixing the eras!  


Once again this is all Sarah's fabulous photography and I had the cutest day with her putting up with me stopping at every market stool.
Can't you just tell how excited I am in the pictures above?!
So go and check out Camden if you haven't already, and if you have, then.. well, go again! I know I can't wait to!!!
I hope you find some equally tremendous treasures
