Dress: River Island, Ring: New Look, Extensions: Head Kandy (post to follow)
So today I went on my travels over to London for Vodafone's London Fashion Weekend at Somerset House. My friend Kurt and I had been overly excited about this for the past month so the event had some pretty high expectations to live up to!
I wore my new leopard print shirt dress that I got for my birthday, as I'm still obsessed with all things animal print. I wrapped up in a long black blazer, fur stole and chelsea boots - a good thing as it bucketed down all day!
The event itself was quite disappointing. We'd opted for the Mulberry goodie bag, which consisted of such uninspiring goodies as a packet of tissues and a toothpaste sample! As well as this, the discount designer sale seemed to be full of clothing from several seasons ago. However, we did enjoy the designer catwalk from Twenty8Twelve, which consisted of some lovely pieces and was nicely arranged. Having said that, they did show us AW 2012/13 not SS 2013 which was a shame as it wasn't their latest collection as you would of seen during London Fashion Week.
Despite getting drenched from the rain and being quite sorely disappointed we still had a fun day out, but may just stick to Oxford Street next time...
Who else attended London Fashion Weekend this year? Did you have a similar experience?
I went about 4 years ago and was pretty disappointed! Your hair looks gorgeous though, and I love that dress! Xx

Sorry you didn't have a great time!! I've been a few times and have picked up some good things, but I totally know where you're coming from, it is a bit overrated. I love your outfit, how do you always look so flawless, you give me serious hair envy!! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI feel more like they're trying to create an experience, like what it would be like if you were lucky enough to go to actual fashion week. I don't know if that makes sense? Thank you anyway poppet :)
DeleteI love you hair in these pics! How did you style it/ what products? Thanks :) xx
