THE BOX

Wearing: Ann Sofie Back coat layered over Limi Feu jacket, Edun shirt, Moxham Eygypt necklace, Acne trousers, Jack Purcell Converse, Dagmar and Helmut Lang bracelets

Whilst this outfit may seem a little extreme for the nice weather we're sort of having at the moment, this is the kind of look you get used to in London; warm if the weather turns mean and easily shed when the sun turns a smile. 

I love this new shirt by Edun, which is pretty much just a square with a collar attached, also the whole 'cocoon with some legs sticking out and walking around' look. Super comfortable and super layered.

MANY SHADES OF GREY

Wearing: Helmut Lang twisted crop and half cuff bracelet, Nicolas Andreas Taralis skirt with Charlie May satin wrap skirt underneath, Converse shoes and Miu Miu sunglasses

It's been a hot 27 degrees here in London for the past few days, and it's seriously made me realise how winter my wardrobe is. I managed to find this amazing Helmut Lang top stuffed away in a drawer from last year; it's time it went back into circulation I think! My brother's staying with me in London for a few days, which means; serious chill time in the sun, showing him around the neighbourhood and visiting favourite eateries, all before my birthday tomorrow! 

SATIN AND NEOPRENE

Wearing: Stylein satin wrap dress, Philip Lim clutch, Camilla Skovgaard shoes, Backstage* rings and Helmut Lang half cuff bracelet.

I'm giving this blog an injection of some much needed TLC; I've been so busy with work etc that the last few blog posts have just been event after event and lacking the personal touch. A slap on the wrists and I promise to do better, starting with this outfit I wore out on Saturday night to see the ballet, for the first of Michael's birthday celebrations. I hadn't been since I was about 6 or 7 and it was magnificent to see the dancers/athletes perform across the stage. We went to see the English National Ballet 'Beyond the Ballet Russes' which was many short stories in one (perfect for plenty of mini champagne breaks inbetween..) and with costumes originally designed by Coco Chanel. If you find yourself aimlessly roaming around London anytime soon, I would highly recommend it.

FADING OUT

Wearing: Helmut Lang knit, T by Alexander Wang tank, Ann Demeulemeester skirt and boots, Mimco bag, Dominic Jones ring.

Outfit worn on the second day of my Brussels visit; this was the outfit I nearly died tripping over down the Margiela stairs (more to come on that later), but this was quickly healed by the designer telling me how beautiful it was to see women in long skirts again. I love the fishtail on this skirt, the way is moves when walking is really elegant and quite dramatic.

 Thanks Michael for the shots!

RECUPERATION

Wearing: Ann Demeulemeester jacket, Helmut Lang knit, Charlie May crop top, Haider Ackermann trousers, Acne shoes and American Apparel clutch.

Another picture pinched from the Vogue Italia site taken from the 4th day. There was a distinct lack of outfit posts during London Fashion Week so I'm trying to pick up the pieces now. Now, I am off to Devon for some much needed recuperation, see you all soon!

HELMUT LANG SS12

Asymmetric perfection. I've been obsessing over bra tops lately, (more top, less underwear) anything slightly unusual and perfect for layering under garments. Helmut Lang has showcased exactly what I have been daydreaming of in his SS12 collection. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

SILVER AND GOLD

Items: Collar - Unknown, half cuff - Helmut Lang, claw ring - Dominic Jones.

Some of my favourite items of jewellery lately. Anything that's minimal and gold is perfect for me right now. I had a bit of a bust up trying to go to a Dominic Jones sample sale last week, an incorrect map and phone being low on battery led me to the dodgy ends of East London for an hour before I gave up and came home again. Hopefully I'll get my hands on some more soon, but for now this is more than what I need.

PFW OUTFIT DAY 3

Wearing: Helmut Lang loose knit jumper, Alexander Wang tank and crossover bra, Yohji Yamamoto skirt, Ann Demeulemeester buckle boots, Paul & Joe tassel bag, Dominic Jones rings.

Trying awfully hard not to squint in a lot of these pictures. The sun was so bright and beautiful in Paris; hanging around outside the Palais de Tokyo, overlooking the Eiffel Tower whilst children skateboarded around us. Enjoying the final day.

Thank you to Naomi for taking these photos.

 A closer look at some of the ACNE S/S 11, obsessed with that suede maxi skirt!

Every girl needs the perfect silk shirt, and you can get one in pretty much any colour way you desire! Equipment Femme originally launched in 1979 and became one of the most coveted items of the 80's and 90's. Relaunched recently with the help of Christian Restoin, parter to French Vogue's Carine Roitfeld, the label is growing fast. 

 Helmut Lang always doing it right.

 Completely head over heels for these IRO pieces.

 Despite this being S/S 11, it was so cold on the MyWardrobe press day I could not stop lusting after all the knits!

The MyWardrobe Press Day was such a breath of fresh air from the cold miserable weather. We had so much fun looking through the new S/S 11 lines, even dreaming up an upcoming African Safari adventure (I wish!).
MyWardrobe has something for everyone when it comes to style and design, I can't wait to get my hands on these gorgeous Spring/Summer goodies!
