London Fashion Week- Oxford Street

Yesterday was not such a day of great weather, but definitely of great use. My two friends and I wound up at Oxford Street, trying to gain some of the stylist atmosphere during this eventful week. In the massive Topshop down there, they were giving mini makeovers to shoppers, showcasing the new trends with Topshop makeup. I took up this chance, and my look copied that of one Lara Stone modelled recently, rather grungy, but not quite Goth. I loved it, and gained many handy tips.

 This makeover was filmed by girls for their blog, so check it out at www.make-lemonade.com. Also there, we met Grace Timothy, a freelance writer and journalist, who has contributed to companies such as Vogue, she was talking to my friend and I about how to join this interesting field. Apparently blogging helps a lot! I’m glad we met her, as I was so stuck on information around journalism, and she really has the perfect job. Her blog is http://www.the-three-graces.com/, so take a look! When casually walking down the street, we sighted upon a tourist shop, which to my pleasure sold pretty damn awesome earrings, great for my cartilage. I quickly bought one, only £6, and I can tell I will be wearing it 24/7.

Evie, whom I was with, is a budding photographer, so after our busy day we travelled down to the Common, and she took some lovely pictures of Lily and I. Lily’s new to blogspot, and so far so good, so visit http://www.lilyannburton.blogspot.com/.

Oh I just remembered, I’d love your opinion on these creeper shoes, I WANT THEM!

looks

this weeks been a tad hectic really. firstly ive been practising non stop for a concert i'm playing my double bass next week, aswell as tons of home work, and i really wanted to get a few lookbooks done. The one i posted a couple of days ago, "Born for this" really relates to how much i love fashion. Since i was quite young i've known i wanted to work in this field, and i guess my blog and lookbook is helping that, so yay :) the american flag shorts, from Topshop, are by far my favourite shorts. They're original, but not overly quirky (even though i often like that in clothes). They're now doing trousers with the same print on, which my friend is getting. We'll look like twins!

secondly was "We are broken". The leotard matches well with the shorts in my point of view. Unfortunatly my mother would say its too short to go out in though...

so i hope you like them, feel free to check them out using the link to the left :)
