What I Wore to... Brixton Village

I've lived in London for nearly two years now, but I still don't really know the south of the city at all. At the weekend I went for lunch in Brixton Village market which has a range of small cafes and restaurants that were all bustling and lively on the beautiful sunny Saturday we ventured out.

For the first properly warm day we've seen this year I was determined to get my legs out. No tights for me!

Mesh bomber jacket: River Island £45
Vest top: Monki
Necklace: Gogo Philip at ASOS
Acid wash denim skirt: Topshop
Bag: Mulberry
Shoes: Converse

We had lunch at the Senzala Creperie. It was stupidly delicious! How I managed to stop myself from following my savoury crepe up with a sweet one I do not know. I had the Morning Glory crepe; made with buckwheat flour and filled with crispy bacon, tomato and cheese, and topped with a fried egg.

Hope you all managed to enjoy the weekend sun!

What I Wore to...the Costa Brava, Spain

For the first time in 2 years I hit the beach and made my way over to the Costa Brava in Spain with my boyfriend. I'll put some pics up soon as it's a really beautiful place and a massive bargain getaway, but first here's a round-up of my favourite Instagram outfit posts from the trip:

My big sister donated this denim Alexander McQueen playsuit - my first piece of designer clothing!

Zara silk trousers and Topshop Boutique vest

Next tunic

ASOS shorts and H&M vest (with ASOS bikini poking out the top!)

An old favourite: Primark horse print playsuit

H&M crop top and River Island high-waisted denim short

Fashion: My 1st London Fashion Week Experience

As much as I love reading the glossies and perusing fashion blogs, I never imagined that I'd get to experience a real catwalk show. Thanks to the miracles of Twitter I somehow won a competition to see a show at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout event. So Saturday evening, myself and Ms O went to the Covent Garden venue and thanks to Vita Coco and the fabulous website What I Wore Today, we were sat on the front row!


The designer we were there to see was Carlotta Actis Barone. The collection was a beautiful mix of silk coats, dresses with amazing petticoats and gravity defying hairstyles. The colour palette was deep purples, ice blues, blacks and nude pieces with the words 'Work Liberates' on them. Here are some pics I managed to snap (the misty quality is down to the smoke machine):

The atmosphere of the dramatic music, the flashbulbs going and the models staring dead ahead gave me goosebumps. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience and I'm even more jealous of the celebs that get to go to all the massive shows every Fashion Week!


And because we were FROWers for the evening, that meant we also got a fab goody bag each, the contents of which included a scarf by the designer and a great haul of make-up from The Body Shop (including a bronzer to replace the one I ran out of today - perfect!)

And of course, as I won the tickets through the website What I Wore Today, here is the obligatory 'what I wore' pic.
