London Fashion Week 2010

I will be at London Fashion Week everyday from tomorrow (Friday 17th September) through to Sunday, either in the exhibition or dashing around some last minute booked shows. I'm so excited as this is my first LFW with a press pass and I'm itching to just get there and soak up the atmosphere. I'm also going to the Fashion TV party tomorrow - is anyone else?

I would love to meet anyone else who will be there (whether or not you have a pass - we could just hang around Somerset house courtyard and people watch!) so if you are in the area with nothing to do, drop me an email on lebilletdoux (at) gmail (dot) com or send me a tweet at http://www.twitter.com/geisharocks and I will be checking those throughout the day. Or just sent me an email and a tweet anyway to say hi :)

Hope to hear from some of you!

Winter inspiration

I think I've given up on the weather improving now - summer is officially over!

But there's no time to despair as Autumn/Winter is the best season to dress for (in my opinion) - layers, textures and colours can all be mixed and matched with abandon - on a grey gloomy day, no one is going to stop you from draping fabrics around yourself and playing with proportions.

Exciting news: I'm going to be at London Fashion Week representing Geisha Rock and have been advised not to be boring and wear an all-black ensemble.. definitely easier said than done, I think! Will anyone else be around? I'd love to meet up and have a chat and grab some lunch somewhere :) It's my first time and I don't know what to expect! I'm only going to one show because work and uni commitments have gotten in the way of ticket requests but I'm really looking forward to just hanging around Somerset house and absorbing the electric atmosphere and people-watching.

Inspirations for my winter wardrobe include:

- Mixing matte leather and muted fur (nothing shiny or long and flashy!)
- Gold jewellery, preferably almost in an antique or costume style
- EITHER a structured satchel or a slouchy rucksack (both practical choices)
- Sensible shoes! (let's see how long this lasts for.. I'm a glutton for punishment)
- Flashes of colour on delicate fabrics
- A classic white shirt

What are your inspirations for autumn/winter?

Susie Bubble Blogger Yard Sale & a VIDEO!

Hello lovelies!

I know this post is long overdue but I've been busily scrawling the last few chapters of my dissertation and just didn't have the time to update properly... and I didn't want it to be half-arsed job! But my dissertation is now written, bound and handed in and I can now give you a blow-by-blow account of Susie Bubble's recent yard sale, through the eyes of Geisharock :)

---------------------------------

Here's me, busy setting up my stall.

Kit of Styleslicker and her wonderful array of SHOES!

Lots of people shopping away :)

Kit, me and Fi

Me and my guilty purchase.. I've never owned a Gucci bag and felt inexplicably drawn to this one! It's the perfect size for flinging over your shoulder everyday. Thanks Susie :)

AMAZING CHICKEN SATAY

Alice of Alice Point and her beautiful sister.

Such lovely girls :) It was so nice to meet you two!

Scrummy cakes

Shoes, glorious shoes!

Vicky sponge... Delish

I pounced on this girl who had come straight over from the night out before as soon as she turned round the corner. She looked pretty good considering!

Just look at those boots... Lust-worthy.

Shini and I

My lovely sister and partner-in-crime who took all these pictures and filmed & edited the following video for me.

Hope you enjoy!

Please leave a comment if you were there, or even if you weren't ;)

Love,

This is completely unrelated to fashion, but allow me to introduce you to two of my guilty pleasures:

1) Finding amazing singers who do amazing covers on Youtube
2) Watching reality competition shows: X Factor, AGT, BGT, America's Best Dance Crew

Best version I've heard, hands down.



Victor Kim on the left won America's Best Dance Crew as a member of Quest Crew. Can you say multi talented? What a dreamy voice. Here's a video of a solo dance session of his:

Sorry if you're not in the least bit interested :P
