Slush, drizzle, one degree weather and overcast skies. Reality has kicked in; I'm back in Berlin, knackered, with slightly greasy hair and wedding ringless (it has suddenly disappeared). London Fashion Week is over, at least for me, and Somerset House seems more like an adrenaline infused memory than something that actually happened just a few days ago. The comedown is now kicking in and it's all feeling a bit depressing. I never thought I would ever be able to partake in any of these events, even if mostly as an onlooked or behind the lens. Berlin, Milan and now London: sometimes it all still feels wonderfully surreal. For me the people themselves make Fashion Week so unbelievably exciting. Seeing old friends, making new ones and getting high on design in the process all makes it so worthwhile. Now, like an ostrich, I'm going to remove my head from the sand and readjust to work and normality. Less peplum, more TEDx. But don't worry, I'd like to leave you with an image unalike to today's greasy hair: my final Fashion Week outfit.

I am wearing an Asos shirt, Elizabeth & James trousers (similar here), an MMMxH&M necklace, Stella McCartney boots, a Proenza Schouler bag (similar here) and a Celine wallet.

 

Phew! What seems to have been a case of me having taken a mini blogging vacation was actually me having to have worked late all last week in the run up to two events. So things will be getting much livelier again here, expecially since I finally have my lens back! This month I'll be heading to Scotland for a wedding and Milan for a weekend during Fashion Week and I can't wait for a small change of scenery.

You may remember I spoke about my 3D penguin jumper in my last post? Well here it is, in all it's messed up, 80s glory. Something so sickeningly cute has to be paired with a pair of angry boots and some leather, preferably in a skirt silhoutte, to at least hint at some form of youthful femininity.

While I have the chance, I'd also like to introduce you to my bike, which even two years later, I have still not named. Alasdair's is called Pegasus.

I am wearing a vintage jumper, an Asos skirt, Balenciaga boots and a Proenza Schouler bag.

Dont' be scared away by my giant red face in this video. Today we're goint to take a small break from wedding photos and go back to the roots of this blog, fashion! A while ago Leni from Fashiondaily.tv came to our flat to shoot an episode of the Look At Me series with me. I threw some of my favourite items together, including tons of Fashionology jewellery, to create a pastel look that I would love to wear during the upcoming fashion week. Hamish clearly thought we were going somewhere exciting afterwards, too bad it was just to the living room. Yes yes, I'm wearing too much rouge and my hair looks stupid but what the hell, I had no time for touch ups! We filmed this right after I returned home from work to catch the waning light. Thank you Leni, I love the video!

I am wearing a jacket from Merchant Archive, a blouse from Thailand, a collar from eBay, Prada trousers, Carin Wester wedges, a Proenza Shouler bag and lots of Fashionology jewellery.

Zara is my go-to-store for blouses. This season they have a variety featuring some amazing collar details. This one with a leopard print and small studs at the collar had to go home with me!

I have been dealing with horrendous back pains for most of April and have been lying on the couch with my hot water bottle since Thursday so heels are currently completely out of the question for who knows how long. It's not so bad though when you're wearing Unif's Hellraisers :D. It was 29 and 30 degrees this weekend! I think we may have skipped spring and fast forwarded to summer. Happy Monday!

I am wearing a Zara blouse and jeans, Unif loafers, a Proenza Schouler bag and a jewellery mix consisting of Fashionology, rings from Thailand and one I can't remember the brand name of.

 

I'm really obsessed with blue hues at the moment. It's always been one of my favourite colours but lately it's all I want to wear. I feel like an easter egg :D. Don't forget to enter my Moxham giveaway!

I am wearing a mohair jumper by Nowhere, vintage blouse, Isabel Marant jeans, Surface to Air wedges, a Proenza Schouler bag and a ring from the weekend market.
