London Fashion Week, February 16th (Part II)

So as promised here is part II of yesterday's LFW experience. After the first bunch of shows I headed back home to change before hitting some of the evening events. I have prepared quite a few dresses as a part of my fashion week wardrobe but it takes some creativity to style them in February. You want to make dresses justice and show them in all their beauty and at the same time you want to stay warm. 

So here is my solution to the problem. I have paired this gorgeous summery Emma Louise London dress with a fluffy coat and I felt like they complemented each other rather well. This dress is so versatile and can be styled in so many different ways. I am wearing it with my biker boots but it will look absolutely gorgeous with heels, sandals or flats too! Wear it with or without stockings depending on the season and have a blast while trying it with all sorts of different jackets and blazers. 

Hope that you are enjoying my adventures so far and come back tomorrow for more xx

London Fashion Week, February 16th (Part I)

So here is what I wore yesterday to the shows at Savoy and Tate Modern. I love playing with outfits during fashion week as it's the time to dress up and experiment. I have always loved this skirt/bomber combo on other people, but have never tried wearing it myself. So I'm glad I had an excuse to do it yesterday. 

Scroll through the post to see a couple of pictures from the shows and make sure you follow me on Instagram (@juliashutenko) to see all instant updates. 

Also as the title of this post suggests there is a Part II from yesterday coming. Look out for my second look of the day later today xo

London Fashion Week, February 15th

Hi guys! Sorry for a couple of days of silence. If you follow me on the Instagram (@juliashutenko) you know that I've been fighting a flu for a couple of days and was forced to miss the first day of London Fashion Week and spend the whole Valentine's Day in bed. I am still not completely well, but I'm back in business and here is my take on London Fashion Week, Day 2.

So you have probably heard that weather in the UK is playing mean tricks lately. Yesterday was no different. One moment it was pouring down with rain and in a few minutes sun came out. There was a lot of umbrella vs. sunglasses action around Somerset House. Because I was still taking it very easy yesterday, I could only attend a couple of shows and rushed back into bed. But those couple of shows were oh so good! Every season I admire Holly Fulton and John Rocha and yesterday their collections were as wonderful as ever. You'll see some of my shots from the shows if you scroll down. 

In terms of my outfit, it might not be visible, but I have layers and layers of clothes to keep me warm. Dressing for February fashion week is never easy. It's cold, it's wet and you still have to try and look good. I am wearing Finders Keepers' top and trousers paired with my most versatile black coat and favourite heels. 

Hope you enjoy my LFW diary and do come back tomorrow for more updates. Have a lovely Sunday and I am off to see TOPSHOP UNIQUE show.

Valentine's Knick Knacks

Valentine's Day is only two days away and I've decided to compile a list of cute little gifts for both him and her. So in case you are still looking for some ideas and inspiration hopefully you'll find it here. All of the things are under £50 which is always good news. 

And just to be clear on my opinion of this holiday - I absolutely love it!

P.S. This is the 100th post on my blog! Yay! Thank you all for supporting me! xo

Turtleneck Chic

Monday is here starting the final countdown to London Fashion Week. It begins on Friday making February 14th twice more exciting. I have pretty exciting things planned for this week including a menu tasting at our wedding venue so there is a lot to look forward to! 

I shot this outfit over the weekend while out and about in central London. I felt like it was a quite an unusual look for me. Last time I wore this dress I styled it with heeled ankle boots and a biker leather jacket. This time I went for a more season friendly variation. One thing I want to mention is the power of a good black coat. I have styled it in so many different ways since I got it earlier this year. The possibilities are endless and that's exactly what I want from a coat.

Have a good week and speak soon xo
