Hey everyone,
Time for my last London Fashion Week post for this season- boo! I had such a wonderful time experiencing everything fashion week had to offer, and hopefully I'll be able to attend the full week in years to come. The last show I attended was Apu Jan in association with Fashion Scout at Freemasons' Hall. I didn't have a great view for this show in all honesty, and the venue looked slightly overcrowded. Not to worry- the show itself was still so exciting!
I didn't know much about Apu Jan as a designer before attending the show, but I was certainly anticipating it. The collection had quite a wide range of different shapes and textures- from cable knits to woven dresses. Minimalistic colours were used, but some colour popped up every now and then, particularly red! I loved the grey marble printed hats, as it really brought a bit of elegance to the collection. The shape of the pieces were generally very loose, with some more fitted pieces too. Overall it was a very diverse collection, and I was thoroughly impressed!

Hey everyone,
Bora Aksu was the only Somerset House show I attended during my trip to LFW, and it didn't disappoint! I loved Bora's previous collection so I had high hopes for Autumn/Winter. I had a brilliant view from where I was standing thankfully, but silly me forgot to check my camera settings before the show started, which led to me fumbling about with the settings just before it started!
The Bora Aksu A/W15 show was a pastel wonderland from start to finish. Opulent lace, pretty bow blouses and flowing material graced the runway this season. In all honesty, it really got me in the mood for Spring, even though it was an Autumn-Winter show. I absolutely adored the floral appliqué and the soft, dusty colours. There was something so romantic, so ethereal about this collection, and I was in awe watching the models strut down the runway. The show was closed by the fabulous (and Irish) presenter Laura Whitmore, which although was a bit surprising, was actually very refreshing to see too. One of my favourite looks was the lilac and pink dress below!

Hey everyone,
On Thursday when I flew into London I headed to the Boohoo Bloggers' Gifting Lounge to choose an outfit for fashion week. Naturally, I chose something quite monochrome, but I decided to step out of my comfort zone by wearing a bright fuschia jacket! I'm absolutely in love with it, it's such a versatile piece that I know I will wear time and time again. The chunky black heels were surprisingly easy enough to walk in, despite the huge platform! Mixing different grid patterns is a trend I've been loving lately, and fashion week was the perfect oppurtunity for me to just try something new.
Coat,top, trousers, shoes & clutch bag- all c/o Boohoo*
Earrings- New Look

Hey everyone,
Wow, what a weekend it's been! I flew home from London last night, and I'm utterly exhausted. I've spent the whole of today answering emails and editing photos, so it's been good to relax and catch up. It was my first time attending London Fashion Week, and it was honestly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The style was (naturally) out of this world. I received 16 invites for the 2 days I was there, but only attended 2- 5 of them I wouldn't even be in London for, many were on at the same time and also because of how cold it was! In the end I ended up choosing Bora Aksu as it was my only Somerset House show on Friday, and Apu Jan with Fashion Scout at Freemasons' Hall on Saturday, which I'll be posting about over the next few days.
It was such a surreal experience overall. Even when I planned the trip, I didn't expect countless photographers coming up to me to take my picture. At one stage, I was walking around with my mam and a photographer was frantically snapping my outfit as I walked, chasing my heels from behind. It was scarily wonderful and I really hope there will be many more seasons to come. Although I was only there for the first two days, I did capture some amazing street style shots, and bumped into a few celebs! (I practically tripped over Ashley Roberts from The Pussycat Dolls and mum bumped into Proudlock from Made In Chelsea coming out of the toilet.. fun times).
