LFW AW14- People Watching & The Sartorialist

Last Sunday I spent the day in London with my cousin and fellow blogger Jodie. We started the day at Somerset House and managed to kill a good few hours people watching. I met the lovely Jen from A Little Bird Told Me, and spotted Gemma from What's In Her Wardrobe from afar. The highlight of my day has to have been meeting Scot Schuman, a street photographer and creator of The Sartorialist, a blog which is constantly inspiring what I wear. 

So here are a few snapshots from my morning- look out for a few pictures from the Topshop Unique show too, they're on their way! I'm still pinching myself and I can't say it enough- if you have a spare day and train tickets are ridiculously priced, then get your butt down to London! We had no plans for the day but just ambled around making it up as we went along, and I can't believe all the people I saw and even got the chance to have conversations with. 

Happy Monday, Everyone! 

The Vlog: London Fashion Week

Hi Everyone!

As promised, here is the little vlog I put together for my day in London. I had an amazing day and can't wait to share this video with you, so I hope you all enjoy watching it! (I hope it's worth it, it took me over two hours to upload...) Here are a few photos I took too. I bumped into the lovely Kavita from She Wears Fashion, and we had an amazing chat! I got to take her photo for you guys too, she was so gorgeous and so, so friendly. 

I would love if you subscribed to my YouTube channel- then you'll get to see any vlogs I post! I may be thinking about posting more frequently on there, but no promises as of yet...

June Favourites

1) White Crochet Top- H&M- I've had this for over a year but I've gotten so much wear out of it, especially recently! It's really versatile, I've been wearing it with shorts, jeans and it goes with smart trousers too.

2) Hand Food- Soap and Glory- I love Soap and Glory products and this is one of my favourites. It smells good and doesn't leave hands feeling greasy.

3) Necklace- River Island- I've worn this lots recently!

4) Skin Food- Weleda- I've been suffering with the joys of a cold over the past few weeks and my skin has been needing extra nourishment. I know this was in last month's favourites but it's such a great, multi-purpose moisturiser.

5) Summer Glow- Dove- Thanks to the English weather, I tend to stay pale all the way through summer. This is my go to product because it's so gradual that I think you could call it fool proof. I've never had a streak. I recently (very briefly) strayed away to try a Fake Bake gradual tanner and got streaks on the first use, so would definitely recommend Summer Glow by Dove.

6) Vanilla Cinnamon Shower Gel- Korres- My mum went to Greece a few months back and bought this back as a present. I've nearly finished using it and love it. Okay, it smells like Winter but I don't care, I'm going to use it even though it's Summer, it smells THAT good.

7) Berry Ice Cream- Barry M- Another thing I've had for ages. It's just a cute lilac for summer.

8) The Sartorialist- Scott Schuman- I'm always catching up with The Sartorialist's blog and love his work. This book is a great reference book and is a great place to find inspiration. 

Covent Garden, London

This is the last photo I took whilst in London. I wasn't expecting to take any more, but when I saw these guys walking down a street in Covent Garden I had to grab my camera. They were so cool- they put their shades on and even thought about what they wanted as the backdrop to the image. These are the kind of people I love to photograph. 

New Bond Street, London

After yesterday's meeting I headed over to New Bond Street to get some photography, Sartorialist style! I love doing this and really want to do it more often. I love each and every one of these outfits for different reasons- I think they all show great style. One of the reasons I like doing these posts is because everyone likes the images for different reasons. 

I love the pink and yellow- great combination! Also love all black with small gold details, simple yet effective. 

I LOVE how eclectic and, in my eyes, brave this couple are. The matching KENZO is a fantastic statement.

Again, I love the simplicity and layering of this outfit. The little flash of blue is really pretty too. 

The first thing that made me want to photograph these friends was the orange gilet. But when I looked closer at when each girl I loved the coordination of sweater and bag (on the left) and the bright colour popping out from a neutral pallet (on the right).

Let me know what stands out to you from these images in the comments! x
