Blossom

Who could have thought that the end of September can be so warm? We are just in the middle of the Indian Summer and, taking advantage of the occassion, I have decided to stick to dresses and sandals for as long as the weather will allow. 

Having spent three years in London already, I have become somewhat used to its most famous tourist attractions and don't always pay enough attention to just how amazing these places are. That's why this shoot was made in the London's iconic Trafalgar Square. I have mixed with thousands of people who were also having their photograph taken and felt as excited as if this was my first visit here.

While deciding what to wear and how to fool the Autumn's weather this Finders Keepers dress appeared to be the obvious choice. It's colourful floral print lifted my mood every time I saw my reflection in the windows and I am at risk of developing an absolute obsession with it's simple but perfect cut. It's girlie and it's so fun!

London Fashion Week, Day 4

Day four of London Fashion Week was a bit more relaxed though still packed with exciting shows to attend like Osman and Peter Pilotto. I have also previewed collections by Huishan Zhang and the designers from the Wolf & Badger store on Dover Street. There is so much inspiration everywhere that next season's wish list is already shaping up in my head.

My outfit for the day was this super cool dress by Geeks & Stitches available at the Little Black Dress. It's unusual print was perfect for the London Fashion Week and very popular with the street style photographers. Make sure to check out Little Black Dress website to find thousands of dresses of any style. They are all conveniently divided into the occasions, colour and style categories which makes it very easy to find exactly what you are looking for. As yesterday's weather reminded of the deep autumn more than any day before, I have paired the dress with the leather jacket and black tights to stay warm.

London Fashion Week, Day 3

On the third day, London Fashion Week brought me two beautiful presentations and the most coveted Topshop Unique show ticket. 

I started my day by visiting Smythson New Bond street store for The Panama Legacy Exhibition by Quentin Jones launch. Along with the preview of the new SS14 collection, the collaboration with British artist Quentin Jones was unveiled.

Each of the ten unique artworks focuses on different high profile individuals exploring their relationship with Smythson in the collage style. The exhibition will run in store until 21st September.

I then made my way to Covent Garden Hotel to preview the stunning Manolo Blahnik SS14 collection and the screening of a short film. How do you feel when you find yourself in shoe heaven? It's a feeling that is hard to describe while in the presence of the most intricate and breathtaking shoes. It's also difficult to not think about Carrie Bradshaw while looking at this beauty. And for me, every reminder of Sex and the City is much appreciated!

When I walked into the screening room I felt overwhelmed with the desire to install something similar into my daily life. Just how amazing are these seats? 

The short movie starring Rupert Everett and the majority of the new SS14 collection made me forget where I was for just three minutes and teleported me to a parallel shoe reality.

And, finally, it was the time to attend the Topshop Unique show. Even though I was expecting to see some amazing people on the front row, I was blown away when I realised that Anna Wintour and Kate Moss were sitting just in front of me with Sir Philip Green (the owner of Arcadia Group and therefore Topshop) in between them. 

The collection itself was so amazing, that I already can't wait for it to hit the stores next year. I couldn't be happier to be among the people who attended the show.

As for my outfit, after two days of killer heels I have decided to give myself a break and be comfortable in these Supra sky tops. I have paired them with my new IDA skinny jeans, that you will be seeing much more of here, on my blog. I just know that they will be my favourite item this season as there are countless ways to style cool jeans like this.

By the way, I am guest-blogging for Donna Ida's Instagram (@donnaidadenim) from the shows these days so make sure you are following the live feed as it happens.

London Fashion Week, Day 2

London Fashion Week, day two has flown by with an incredible speed. As I have mentioned before, this was my busiest fashion week day, with too many shows and events to attend. By the end of the day I was falling off my feet, though still very proud of mastering a whole day in heels! Who said you can't walk in Louboutins? 

I have seen so many beautiful clothes, models and catwalks throughout the day! Not to mention the street style around Somerset House which is always inspiring to me!

I have seen shows by Zoe Jordan, The Swedish School of Textiles, Holly Fulton, David Koma and Ashish. 

Below you can find a little sneak peaks of some of the shows.

For the second day I chose this classy but still chic look. This DKNY throw is my go-to item whenever I need to keep warm and these cropped trousers are having a come back (check Victoria Beckham SS14 collection for the inspiration.) I also don't know what I would do without this bag as it perfectly fits a camera, flat shoes, charger for my phone, tickets, make up and wallet.
