I feel quite content today (which is quite rare haha), the Royal Wedding is only in two days time, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be in London! To top it up, I am on holidays, I found a lovely job, and am back to volunteering in the Oxfam Boutique, which I enjoy a lot! Especially because I'm now going to be more involved with the visual merchandising; I just love putting outfits together for the window display, and it makes me so happy when someone buys things from there! Back to my outfit, I am wearing something I used not to like at all: hareem trousers, or are they chino trousers? Anyway, I've recently been liking them a lot, and I think it's all about finding the ones that suit you! I love these ones from <a href="http://www.hm.com/gb/product/83280?article=83280-A&variant=004">H&M</a>, the print is so cute, and they are oh so comfortable! I'm wearing them with the <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/tailoredlooks/48/5?extra=sch&n=women&pid=353-068">Next</a> lace top featured in my previous post, and a turquoise ring from Primark!<br /><a title="doublepic by londonfashiondiary, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55294856@N02/5661473457/"><img height="453" alt="doublepic" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5184/5661473457_361e3530c1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /></div><br /><em>Bonjour ! J'ai vraiment hâte d'être à vendredi, pour le mariage royal ! Je suis de bonne humeur (c'est si rare haha) car je suis en vacances, j'ai trouvé un boulot plutôt cool, et je suis de retour en tant que bénévole à la boutique Oxfam où j'avais travaillé l'année dernière ! Je m'occupe de tout ce qui est visual merchandising cette année, et ça me plait beaucoup; j'adore créer des tenues en fonction de ce que l'on a, des tendances, tout en restant créative !Pour en revenir à ma tenue, je porte un type de pantalon que je n'aimais pas du tout avant, mais dernièrement j'ai changé d'avis et j'adore celui-ci qui vient de chez H&M ! Je le porte avec mon haut en dentelle Next, et ma bague turquoise de chez Primark ! Sans oublier mon étérnel chapeau de paille, qu'est-ce que je ferais sans lui ? ^^</em><em>Allez-vous regarder le mariage à la télé ce vendredi ? Je serais à Hyde Park dès l'aube (ou presque) !</em><br /><br /><div align="justify"><em></em>I am also wearing my straw hat yet again, I love it so much! The last picture is just to show you my hat a bit better.. Ok it's actually to hide my face, I find it so hard to smile/look natural on the pictures hehe. What are your plans for this Friday?

I also fell in love with the bird headband which, sadly, is not mine! Perhaps I could share more pictures with you once the magazine is handed in next week? Our magazine features a lot of vintage, and is a bit like Lula,so some of you may like it! </div><br /><div align="justify"><em>Bonjour à tous !

When I saw this dress, I could not help but think of Gok Wan.<br />Random, I know. But I've been watching his new show regularly, and I just thought he would approve of this dress for my body shape as it's fitted around the waist, but larger around the hips, which is good as my hips are a bit wide. It has a neckline that flatters small busts such as mine, and has batwing sleeves, which creates volume around my otherwise tiny arms. And I love the 70s feel of the dress. Anyway, I can safely say that I love this dress and that I will wear it a lot this season! </p><p align="justify"><em>Voici ma dernière acquisition, cette robe d'esprit 70s provenant de chez Next, que j'ai porté pour célébrer l'arrivée du printemps aujourd'hui (et comme vous pouvez le constater, il faisait beau !)

I know this may not seem much -so many bloggers got tickets from different people and PR companies; but alas, no such luck for me and my little blog.<br />Anyway, I was still very happy and grateful for those tickets and the press pass (I got the Mulberry tote bag this time!). Here are some of the pictures I took, which are shamefully ugly as I made the mistake of borrowing my flatmate's DSLR camera only to realized a bit late that I didn't really know how to use it!<br />I attended Paul Costelloe's show first thing in the morning, it was freezing and even though I made an effort with my outfit, I'm no English girl who can walk around in skyscrape heels and without a coat in sub-zero temperatures and therefore opted for my beloved sheep skirt with over the knee socks, my brogues, and my vintage brown coat. I don't have any pictures, since nobody seemed to think my outfit worth being photographed (and I can't blame them) so you'll have to imagine!<br />I really loved the show, the green dress pictured is to die for, and as all the models had red haired wigs, I could see that the colours could probably suit me too (though my hair is not quite as bright, thank god!)<br /></div><p align="center"><a title="IMG_7681 by londonfashiondiary, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55294856@N02/5520586560/"><img height="333" alt="IMG_7681" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5092/5520586560_e123b2132f.jpg" width="500" /></a><span style="color:#ffffff;"><br /></p></td><td></span><p align="center"><a title="IMG_7688 by londonfashiondiary, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55294856@N02/5520000335/"><img height="333" alt="IMG_7688" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5212/5520000335_e5a56368b8.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><div align="justify"><br />In the afternoon, I attented Aminaka Wilmont's show, where I bumped into the lovely <a href="http://littlebirdfashion.com/">Jen</a>. The collection is really far from my personal style, yet I loved the shoes, and the models' hairstyles: long straight hair with plaits!<br /></div><p align="center"><a title="IMG_7698 by londonfashiondiary, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55294856@N02/5520002091/"><img height="333" alt="IMG_7698" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5520002091_b73436b4aa.jpg" width="500" /></a></p><div align="justify">Then we went to see the exhibition space, I really wanted to see Orla Kiely's new collection, and was slightly suprised as the clothes were displayed on cardboard pictures stuck on the walls!

This award ceremony is sponsored by Next this year, and to 'celebrate' this fashionable event on my blog, (which I would SO want to attend!) I thought I'd show you my favourite celebrity outfit of this (past) year and how to recreate it using <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/">Next</a> items!<br />So here it is, featuring Florence Welch from Florence & the Machine, whose style I love and who inspires me a lot! She is one of my style icons, and her music is of course, fantastic! (by the way, anybody watched the latest gossip girl episode which aired yesterday? Florence was singing at the W party in the show!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXzj0qvOrVwQ831xdReun4dDsYS41GXPRP7Cu9W4VEGW7MevOT1Xv7Jh7_UKFY38VoyWiSLoVI-V78-pJSf-Cez3TBphoTw8R_Itx3Ez7JCHVYkylNxFfNxIUGQOQF1qHf-8PIgKzezy3v/s1600/outfit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571269750032088738" style="WIDTH: 284px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXzj0qvOrVwQ831xdReun4dDsYS41GXPRP7Cu9W4VEGW7MevOT1Xv7Jh7_UKFY38VoyWiSLoVI-V78-pJSf-Cez3TBphoTw8R_Itx3Ez7JCHVYkylNxFfNxIUGQOQF1qHf-8PIgKzezy3v/s400/outfit.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Florence wore this outfit at an event organized by the University of the Arts (where I study) last summer, and I think she looks great!<br />All the items featured are from Next, click on each link below to find them on the website!<br />I really love this <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/smartcasual/6/3?" extra="'sch&n=" pid="498-262&returnurl=" bct="%26quot%3bBlouse%26quot%3b">blouse</a> , it looks really similar to Florence's blouse, don't you think?

These pictures comes straight from my bedroom I'm afraid, the weather has been really bad this past week, and it was just too cold for me to pose outside!<br />I have been quite lucky shopping-wise recently, and even though I am *totally* broke, I still managed to snap some great things reasonably priced! Earlier this week I found this lovely sheer shirt in Primark; I really like the fact that it's longer at the back, and it looks so romantic, I love it! I can tell that I'm going to wear in so many different ways: tucked inside a skirt, with jeans, or on its own (with leggings or a bodycon skirt as it's so see-through). I also found this cute charm necklace, which you may have already seen on <a href="http://rosedl.blogspot.com/">Rose's </a>blog!<br /><br /><em>Bonjour ! J'ai trouvé cette adorable blouse/chemise chez Primark cette semaine, j'adore le fait qu'elle soit plus longue derrière et je sais déjà que je vais la porter de plein de manières différentes !

BIG mistake. It was sold out on the website, I went to 4 different shops in London and none had it, and when I went back to France for Christmas,it had sold out in Lyon too! I called other stores nearby and it was the same story. I even tried Ebay without success. As you can imagine not finding it made me want to have it even more the usual story of wanting what you cannot have!)<br />So after two weeks of almost constant search and disappointment, I was ready to give up,and was just clicking away on the H&M website when suddenly, instead of the usual 'this item is sold out' it went on a different page and there was one size left, mine!<br />I obviously bought it straight away, received it last week, and I love it!

Needless to say they are not obscure designers, but only 'la crême de la crême' (such as Vivienne Westwood, Anna Sui, JPG and Kenzo to name but a few).</div><div align="justify">The next show will present the work of <strong>Stéphane Rolland</strong>; on the 10th of December. There are four shows during the day, but if you want to grab a ticket, I'd suggest to call quickly because they are going fast! (by the way the shows are free to attend, which is just amazing!)</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmtMEJ36Vunvi860RzbaudIYU2imexMlRaYqt4dndDrMe7q-yps5wSqaWkRODtfEx15niZoGN9wtTHUz-aoEpmY4yiBlALg6TV8joRCJmbH8B8jOb4PGLwYsJ2RP8I_nGDRau-8jP2P1n/s1600/stephane_rollandhcs0916.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545053549615760562" style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqmtMEJ36Vunvi860RzbaudIYU2imexMlRaYqt4dndDrMe7q-yps5wSqaWkRODtfEx15niZoGN9wtTHUz-aoEpmY4yiBlALg6TV8joRCJmbH8B8jOb4PGLwYsJ2RP8I_nGDRau-8jP2P1n/s400/stephane_rollandhcs0916.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkedFcFUbgqMvpcCsYjDzlqsT2lwQ43yHnghnU5KRJiwc7lkU3v8NZhDExumaa7tPPAGa5qAyjALuOX-Qay6e77FAFklJ0vhKC7q_E1Eo0-8DenlaS0EHuLCAcMtvfJRVLJKt8sxyYXZf/s1600/large_Rolland6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545053346859045922" style="WIDTH: 261px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkedFcFUbgqMvpcCsYjDzlqsT2lwQ43yHnghnU5KRJiwc7lkU3v8NZhDExumaa7tPPAGa5qAyjALuOX-Qay6e77FAFklJ0vhKC7q_E1Eo0-8DenlaS0EHuLCAcMtvfJRVLJKt8sxyYXZf/s400/large_Rolland6.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br />Stéphane Rolland is a Parisian couturier, who launched his Haute Couture house in 2007, and is well known for "his modern and original interpretation of couture". He is now working on a ready to wear range for 2011.</div><div align="justify"><br />*** </div><div align="justify"><br />The second event I wanted to mention is a one day event this Saturday (4th of December) entitled <strong>'Behind the Scenes with the Ballets Russes'</strong>. The Diaghilev exhibition is on at the moment, which I would highly recommend because it's just brilliant (there is a lot to see and it is so worth the £7 or so to get in); and this is a study day where we are going to explore the sets, costumes and graphic art associated with Diaghilev's dance company. Because I am a student, I only pay £5 otherwise the day (10.30-5pm) costs £46. I know that this is going to be so interesting and a great way to spend my Saturday, in my favourite museum, learning more about the Ballets Russes!<br />I will make sure to report back about those two events, and hope it will be of interest to some of you!

The brogues you all know by now, and the jeans and belt are from Primark! <br />All in all, this is a pretty cheap Autumn outfit :)<br /><br /></div><table><tbody><tr><td><p align="justify"><a title="IMG_4447 by irisinlondon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42066269@N03/5096786735/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_4447" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5096786735_00f23e07ea_z.jpg" width="375" /></a><br /></p></td><td><a title="IMG_4451 by irisinlondon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42066269@N03/5097383356/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_4451" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/5097383356_8ae284f4b8_z.jpg" width="375" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />I wonder how you are coping with the weather?

All the money raised will go to different women's charities supported by Oxfam.<br />Being a volunteer for Oxfam, I've had the opportunity to help set up the shop hence working in Selfridges for a few days, which has been very exciting! I will also work there when the shop is open, so why not come and say hi? Some celebrities will also be part of the staff, so this will definitely be a unique shopping experience!<br /><br /></div><p align="center"><a title="IMG_3860 by irisinlondon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42066269@N03/4604114511/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_3860" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1242/4604114511_6cc1db8ba2.jpg" width="610" /></a></p><div align="justify"> As you can see, there were of loads of clothes to sort, steam, and price!

Today I wanted to show you what I did on Thursday afternoon.. I was at the Sketchbook pop-up shop in Carnaby Street where I attended a 'Getting Started Lecture' about blogs, given by the amazing Jill (<a href="http://www.blogger.com/streetstylelondon.blogspot.com">Polka Dot</a>) and Jen (<a href="http://www.blogger.com/thestylecrusader.com">Style Crusader</a>) !<br /><br />But first, you may be wondering: what is the Sketchbook pop up shop? Well, <a href="http://www.sketchbookmagazine.com/">Sketchbook</a> is a quaterly magazine 'that showcases established and emerging creative talents in fashion, design and culture with a focus on features, photography and illustration'. The shop is great, and will close down on the 14th of May, so if you're in London, I can only recommend you to check it out before it's too late. The last lecture will be given by Susie from the blog <a href="http://stylebubble.typepad.com/">Susie Bubble</a>, (on the 13th), I can't wait to go!<br /></div><div align="justify"><br />Back to Thursday; the talk was brilliant: it was great to talk about blogs, fashion, the blogging 'community', and Jill & Jen gave such helpful advice on how to develop your blog, as well as talking about their own experience! I also got to meet lovely people there, and I am looking forward to seeing them again soon (btw I didn't write any of your links down, so please feel free to leave them)<br /><br />Here are some photos of the shop, it is so lovely and creative, I adored the animal paintings!</div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#ffffff;">**</span></div><div align="justify"><table><tbody><tr><td><a title="IMG_3840 by irisinlondon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42066269@N03/4593520206/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_3840" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4593520206_bd4f45cc38.jpg" width="375" /></a><br /></td><td><a title="IMG_3845 by irisinlondon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42066269@N03/4592902259/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_3845" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1379/4592902259_b773545f0d.jpg" width="375" /></a><br /></td></tr><tr><td><a title="IMG_3842 by irisinlondon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42066269@N03/4593520486/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_3842" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1024/4593520486_8b630641d1.jpg" width="375" /></a><br /></td><td><a title="IMG_3844RAP by irisinlondon, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/42066269@N03/4593592494/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_3844RAP" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3287/4593592494_48e902e353_o.jpg" width="375" /></a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div align="justify"><br />(Below) Meet Jill, wearing here some lovely shorts and a breton striped shirt (yay!), and Jen, wearing her already famous miu-miu-like dress and her clogs which she gets so asked about!<br />Aren't they just lovely?
