London Fashion Week 2013 (#LFW2013) PART 2: Mark Fast S/S14 catwalk show

Mark Fast S/S14, what a cool show - The hair was grungy and punky and the lips were all a glossy petrol black and it all felt very Erin Wasson crossed with a goth Andy Warhol, kicked in the side with a shot of trance, dance, angst and acid.

Mark Fast is well known for making knitwear look totally rad (dude) & modern and he didn't disappoint with his 90s inspired collection for S/S14. Feather accents, intricate woven detail and everything from matching separates to full length showstoppers were all grounded by a grey & fluoro highlighter yellow colour theme throughout.

I'd love to see Kristen Stewart in this whole collection - it is definitely her vibe!

The makeup was created by bareminerals (I know, what?!) whose International Make-up Artist Sarah-Jane Froom said: 'The inspiration was Marilyn Manson, both gothic and punky. 'The skin is dewy and fresh with a light, bright eye.' The lips were created using a greeny purple glossy tint.

The hair was created by TIGI and celebrated the spirit of youth, someone who has been out partying all night and is ready to go all over again. Nick Irwin, TIGI Global Creative Director said that "The Mark Fast look pays homage to true Goths. The girl is strong, powerful, and confident with hair that's effortless and lived. Each jet-black synthetic wig has been razored and shaped uniquely to suit the models face.  The gothic-muse has been partying out all night, everything about her shouts anti-structural and anti-clean!"

Thank you to Richard for the ticket. It was the bomb-diggity.

Any favourite shows from LFW?

London Fashion Week 2013 (#LFW2013) PART 1: Somerset House

A few London Fashion Week snapshots to get this series of 3 posts going, these are from the area around the Somerset House showroom. I felt super lucky to have snagged a ticket to a show (more in the next post) but I actually enjoy just hanging around Somerset House and snapping away whilst the fashion circus goes on all around me. It's always such a buzz and there is ALWAYS someone interesting to look at.

I absolutely love the last picture of the girl with that patterned coat and mini veil - there were plenty of peacocks around but she was very low key and I might have just walked by her if I hadn't noticed the sprinkling of polka dots.

If you're ever in London during LFW, try and get in on the action and hang around Somerset House to get a peek into that hallowed fashion cave.

See ya'll soon - Show update to come!

Love,

FOOD: These are a few of my favourite things!

I absolutely ADORE eating and think that a lovely meal out is such a nice way to catch up with people and have a generally jolly good time. The way to my heart is truly through my stomach - I still feel all warm and fuzzy thinking about a perfectly chargrilled steak that my boyfriend once cooked me on the barbeque on a warm Summer evening... Yes, well anyway! I think the evidence is clear...

EXHIBIT A

Mac 'n' Cheese goodness at Bill's

EXHIBIT B

Spicy fried fish and delicate sushi at a random Korean joint in New Maldon. There are tons of Korean restaurants around here and you really can't go wrong with any of them!

EXHIBIT C

A mouthwatering feast of a meal at Phoenix Palace, our favourite posh Chinese.

These are all in London - What are YOUR favourite places to eat in your hometown/home city? Leave me recommendations please! If I'm ever in your part of the country/world then I'll definitely check them out :)

Love,

London Life ft. FleurDeForce leather bracelet

Isn't London beautiful?

I had some errands to run around King's Cross St. Pancras Station & The British Library and thought I'd show you a quick few snaps. This beautiful pinky rose gold bracelet arrived within a day of me ordering it (Thank you Fleur!) and hasn't left my wrist since. It reminds me of the elaborate friendship bracelets I used to exchange with my friends in high school, which were such an important symbol that we wore them day and night, lest we be taken as traitors.

Memories are a wonderful thing, aren't they?
