LFW

I could hardly sleep the night we got back from Ireland, because London Fashion Weekend was the next day!!!! It really was unbelievable. The actual London Fashion Week is invitation only and closed to the public Monday-Thursday, but London Fashion Weekend is open to the public. There are all sorts of levels of tickets, but the one my friend Melanie and I ended up getting got us in Sunday afternoon for a 1:30pm catwalk time and as much frolicking about as we'd like. We walked in gorgeous London sunshine all the way there and as soon as we got in the doors in down poured the rest of the day, so we definitely did well on timing!
One of the many reasons I was so excited to go is because Sunday is called "bargain day" because by the time the last day of such a long week rolls around all of the designers and so forth want to get rid of the last tid bits of what they brought so they knock off the prices big time! Having a hard time simply eating a descent meal under 15 pounds here I didn't buy anything from a high end designer, but it was unreal to

see booth after booth and rack after rack of designers from Sass and Bide, Rag and Bone, Corey Lynn Calter, Vivienne Westwood, Emilio Pucci and the list is endless. For me, I am just amazed by fashion and the creativity, talent, and design that goes into each handmade piece...I think it's fascinating and gorgeous of course. It was incredible to see the actual pieces and designers I am so fond of right in front of my eyes and all half price. The place was packed and
we walked what seemed like hours oogling over

everything in front of us.
Catwalk time! We saw 4 different shows and it was a blast! The models looked a bit unhealthy but what's new. We saw the lines of Mark Fast (one of my new favorites), Bora Aksu, a mixture of Zara pieces, and a colorblock collection. Melanie and I had the BEST time!!!


Quite an amazing Sunday afternoon...
