My Favourite London Fashion Week Show: Jeff Garner

Welcome back!

If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram and my other social media accounts then you probably know that I was lucky enough to attend London Fashion Week this month. I attended a handful of shows and thought that it would be great to do a feature on each them.

I thought I would start off with my favourite show. It was the Jeff Garner Prophetik show which took place on the Sunday and was hosted by Fashion Scout in the Freemasons Hall.

Jeff Garner is an American fashion designer and artist who was recently named as one of the hottest upcoming designers. Garner creates designs which are both eco-friendly and sustainable. 

The whole collection had a gothic and renaissance theme running throughout. I simply adored the lace, long silhouettes and sombre colours.  

Parts of the collection also had an androgynous feel with women sporting open shirts, waistcoats and loose wide leg trousers. 

The show also included some lingerie which felt rather sports inspired. Almost a nod to the classic Calvin Klein sets. 

Did you go to this show? What was your favourite piece? If not what was your favourite show at LFW16? Stay tuned for more London fashion week blog posts! (Note: My posts on House of MEA and Niro Wang are live now!)

Stunning Saira Shoes!

Welcome back!

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to a wonderful blogger event hosted by Saira shoes at the Ninety Eight bar in Shoreditch. Before I get into showing you the photographs I would like to thank Saira shoes and fellow blogger Beckie for the invitation. I am very grateful and had a really lovely time meeting everyone and of course lusting over some really beautiful shoes!

Saira shoes boast a huge range of ballet flats, loafers, boots, sandals and even trainers. The brand is born from Indian influences but all of the shoes are hand-made in London; an interesting juxtaposition for luxury women's footwear. The word "Saira" means bird in Hindi. The name is prevalent through the flowing designs, stunning colours and naturally shaped embellishments.



The trainers are where you can really see the two cultures coming together. The bright colours and elaborate patterns that we are so used to seeing in Indian culture and heritage combined with the shape and structure of an urban trainer give the shoes a unique identity and feel. I would pair any of this trainers with a pair of plain skinny jeans and oversized tee for a colourful twist on the sports luxe look.

Another timeless shape in the shoe collection is the loafer. I particularly like the dark blue velvet loafers with the gold crest embellishment. These would be a perfect addition to a more dressy outfit; think a smart structured skirt and floaty blouse or go all out and pair it with a matchy velvet dress (I have a missguided one that would be perfect with these!).

The shape of the ballerina flats pictured above and below are simply to die for! I love the cut outs on the side of the shoe which almost make he whole side of the shoe disappear. The pointed toe paired with the elaborate swirling pattern and rich colours ooze class and sophistication. Pair these with your favourite midi skirt for a chic city girl look.

Finally the last shoes in the collection were the sandals. Intricately woven with warm thick coloured thread, strong sturdy fabrics and all brought together with a practical leather sole this is your staple shoe for the summer. There is slight padding around the heel and toes for extra comfort for those long summer days. There are so many shapes from strappy sandals to pool sliders. There is something for every style you may be wanting to try next season.

Welcome back!

I just love winter fashion. Faux fur, turtle necks and woolly tights; all such staples in a winter wardrobe. Luckily, this outfit has all three. I wore this look for a day out in London. So considering London weather, I needed to wrap up warm. I don't know about you but I am certainly not one to compromise on style even when the weather is horrible.

Unfortunately I didn't get many photographs but I hope these two will do the look justice. Enjoy!

Welcome back!

It's been a long time since I posted an outfit of the day but I am back with vengeance and determined to get my A game back on.

I have been a little busy at work and with filming for my YouTube channel so I know there haven't been as many fashion posts on here as I would like. On another note my Star Wars blog series is definitely not over! There will be another one next week so keep your eyes peeled!

Nonetheless let's get on with this outfit. I wore this one chilly day out walking and exploring with my fiancé. This outfit goes to show that you don't have to compromise on fashion even when it's a little cold.
