OOTD, LFW: Day 4

Day 4 was a very sunny but cold day at Somerset House, I started off the day walking by the Thames trying to find the Pringle of Scotland presentation, which I was very excited about! I have been thinking more recently about starting to do OOTD posts. I bought a new blazer, it's London Fashion Week so I thought why not?! Seeing as this is my first EVER OOTD I would love to know your thoughts....

It's raining men..

Monday the 7th of January 2013 kicks off the three day event 'London Collections: Men' also known as men's fashion week. London Collections will attract the biggest and best menswear designers of our time, along with journalists, bloggers and celebrities alike. London Collections started off last June, where there was definitely a buzz around it, however this time around people seem to be getting a lot more envolved and excited about the shows and exhibitions that follow. 


London Collections has a lot of people describing London as 'the capital of menswear' and I have to agree, the talent and determination of designers in London is so refreshing right now. Before London Collections menswear designers had a dedicated day at London Fashion Week which led many to argue they weren't allocated enough time. London Collections has given other menswear designers the opportunity to showcase their collections and get their name heard.

London Collections has really given menswear a new lease of life and everyone from the designers to journalists and the media have really embraced it. I will be covering some of the shows, in the forthcoming days, so don't forget to check out my blog this week. Also remember we are now in the 21st century and you can now watch most of the shows from the comfort of your own home.

Also follow me on twitter and Instagram for live updates on the days.

Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 2013 Campaign

It may be December and the only thing on everyone's mind is CHRISTMAS! However some of us continue to look to the future and seeing what trends are going to hit our stores next year, not to mention S/S advertising campaigns.



The Marc by Marc Jacobs is one advertising campaign for Spring/Summer that stood out for me whilst browsing through various campaigns. I can't help but see similarities to some of Vivienne Westwood advertising campaigns and I don't think this is a coincidence as they were both shot by renowned photographer, Juergen Teller. German fashion photographer has a long relationship with brand and designer Marc Jacobs, and has shot his campaigns since 1998. Known for their simple white boarder you can always identify a Marc Jacobs advert from afar, and I have no doubt the crucial ingredient is Juergen Teller.

Georgia May Jagger for Vivienne Westwood Jewellery

When I found out that the face of Vivienne Westwood's new Gainsborough jewellery collection was Georgia May Jagger I couldn't contain my excitement! She is one of my favourite British models and anyone that knows me knows how much I love Vivienne Westwood's jewellery and mostly bags..

Shot by none other than the iconic Juergen Teller-Georgia May Jagger for Vivienne Westwood

Georgia was a great choice to represent Vivienne and was chosen simply because: "she's absolutely gorgeous. She's so beautiful and looks wonderful in the jewellery"-I agree!

The collection was inspired by Vivienne's Iconic collection of paper jewellery that was in the Dame's collections around 2000/2001. The collection includes Gainsborough necklace, tiara and earrings all completed with diamonds and sapphires. 



The collection will be available to buy at the end of October 2012.
