London Fashion Week February 2013

So from my following street style pictures from London Fashion Week also comes a LFW street style film. This film was created for a university project based on the theme of 'Nextism' meaning the next big thing. So our idea came from the idea of street style being the next big thing. People go to LFW to watch the catwalk shows but even more so to be photographed on their individual style and also to show off and get a reaction from all the fashion critics to see if they end up in magazines and on blogs.
Street style will soon be taking over the catwalk trends.
Take a look at our video on the link below

London Fashion Week Street Style day 5 feb 19th 2013

so here goes... My favourite type of photography, street style.
Along with the filming we did today I also took some great street style photos. I love how crazy people dress for fashion week and it makes getting street style photos all the bit more exciting.

London Fashion Week

So at 12 'O' Clock last night, totally spur of the moment thing a few friends and I decided we should go to the final day of London Fashion Week to film some footage of street style for a University project. Which meant I had to be up at 6 because Im all the way back in Bristol this week.

The film will edited and shortly uploaded in a few weeks.

My outfit consists :

Daisy street Monochrome knee length dress

Urban outfitters long sleeved black polo neck top

Primark Gilet jacket 

H&M Biker boots

New Look Back Pack

Monochrome

I think the unwritten rule is to never take a mirror image of yourself...but i did!

It acceptable due to the fact this is an outfit post and i have not quite mastered self timer. 

Going for the monochromic colour scheme and a fashionable biker edgy look.

H&M biker boots, jumper and shirt matched with Zara patterned tailored trousers. 

Primark leather biker jacket. 

Countryside Fashion.

working on a current magazine project at Uni with the theme of diversity. We are split into two groups and we are basing it on how diverse Britain has become. Im doing a regional article on Bristol about countryside heritage fashion (typical for a country girl like me)  and how designers like Burberry and Mulberry have influence the countryside heritage patterns into catwalk fashions.

The pictures below are a sample photo shoot I did for my article on Thursday 31st January.

Going for the smart look

Well its been a long time since I have dressed up a little in a smart way. Usually just go for the comfy scruffs for Uni and then when I work I have to wear Uniform. So today I thought I would make a bit of an effort. 

Blazer: Republic with leather arms

Shirt: Charity shop (handed down by one of my house mates)

Legins: River Island

Hat: H&M

Scarf: Present 

Bag: Florence & Fred (posh word of Tesco)

Shoes: Stone Brogues 

Christmas Day

outfit post on what i wore on Christmas day. As i stayed in Brighton all over Christmas for work when i eventually got to be at home (In Bristol) I felt the need to get a little bit dressed up as wearing work uniform all the time is never pleasant. On christmas day i wore a Topshop High neck cropped top with a Zara high waisted pencil skirt. Accessories i wore with this outfit were: 

1) my new skull ear cuff

2) new fluffy shaw scarf

3) new H&M chunky biker boots

as always on christmas day you have to wear your new belongings. 

Matt finish acrylic nails

I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to the nails. There is no better feeling than having long nails. As i have small hands i feel that these acrylic nails give my hands a more feminine lady like look. These colour is a very deep burgundy which has been applied using a matt nail varnish. Then to complete the look I had a glossy nail varnish on the tips to create the shiny effect. Just need to keep up to date with getting the in-fills topped up when they grow out now.

Outfit post

Just another quick outfit post. It was one of my uni friends 21st birthday on Wednesday and we went for a birthday lunch at Donatello's in Brighton's Dukes Liane's. It was very frost outside so i wore a bowler hat to keep my head warm. It is from H&M borrowed from one of my house mates. (always a bonus being able to share and swap clothes). I then wore a black high neck top from a charity shop with my denim Levis shorts with a black belt. To complete the look i wore my must have item, my leather jacket. 

Levi's

This is just a quick outfit post on what I wore today. From top to bottom I am wearing my dad's old Levi's denim jacket. I suppose in one way you could call this 'vintage'. My new top £10 from republic which says 'live, love, fly' and has two eagles either side of the writing. My leggings are from Zara. I cant go anywhere with out these leggings they are my must have essential item because they are so thick and hold you in on the belly i call them my 'control pants'. My shoes are black platform plimsoles worn with some white socks. 

Student Lock In

The other day I went to a student lock in at Brighton's churchill square. There was 20% of in most stores but the queue's to buy anything were out of the doors. Anyway I did purchase this baggy tee from Topshop for £12. I have wore this top with River Island disco pants £30 and a classic pair of High top Converse and studded head band. 

Mark Ronson

The other night me and some of my house mate went to a night at coalition in Brighton where Mark Ronson was doing a DJ set. I wanted to go for more of a casual look for this night so i decided to go for an old pair of denim dungarees which is found whilst clearing my bedroom which are from Bay Trading.  I wore a plain black vest top underneath and matched it with a leather waistcoat and some black converse with socks.

Graduate Fashion Week

I was lucky enough to have the chance to work backstage at Graduate Fashion Week on Monday 11th June with the Northbrook catwalk show at Earls Court in London. Here are a few sneaky pictures from behind the scenes.

I also had an exhibition pass where I could walk around Earls court and view the Graduates exhibitions. Each University had their own exhibition.

 The two pictures about are the outside of the Istituto Maragonim exhibition, which is the fashion school which I got to visit whilst in Milan.
