a LFW post -at long last-

Sorry I've been off the blogging radar for a while, some things (mostly bad) have happened to me recently and have prevented me from posting.
Back to LFW, I had a press pass this time round, and a couple of tickets for the first day (Friday 18th)! 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.
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!
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!
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!)

In the afternoon, I attented Aminaka Wilmont's show, where I bumped into the lovely Jen. The collection is really far from my personal style, yet I loved the shoes, and the models' hairstyles: long straight hair with plaits!

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! I spotted the designer herself, and later Leith Clark, but obviously I admired them from afar, I'm way too shy to talk to them!

I hope you liked this little round-up, I did not have the opportunity to come back during the weekend as I had my family visiting, and then I had uni, but next time I'll really try my best to get more tickets, as it's just so exciting to attend the shows, it really is a unique experience!

P.S: reading my post now, I hope it doesn't sound too negative; I'm not one to whine on my blog or in general, as I don't really see the point, but I have to admit my mum is really ill, I had to go back to France for a week to look after her and so I hope you will excuse my somewhat negative tone, but I really wanted to post -I'm not ready to give up on this blog just yet!
