Event: London Fashion Weekend SS16

Last weekend I popped down to London for the day with the lovely Rianna Phillips for Fashion Weekend, a 3 day event which gives a commercial overview of all the major trends seen at London Fashion Week. This year it was held at the Saatchi Gallery, such a perfect venue and a great place to get inspired for the upcoming season and do a little shopping, featuring plenty of pop up brands from ready-to-wear clothing, accessories and jewellery.

There are also 2 catwalks you can attend depending on your tickets...trend and designer. We went to the trend catwalk which revealed some of the latest collections/trends and styling tips, these are close to season trends showing SS16. Silver and gold ticket holders also get a limited edition tote bag inspired by the idea of 'Graphic Romance' filled with a selection of treats, this season designed by Preen's Juston Thornton and Thea Bregazzi. 

There were 4 main trends shown for SS16;

//Americana: A bold bright and collegiate trend with a strong American vibe...stars, stripes and of course plenty of red, white and blue.

//Beautiful Botanicals: Florals of all kinds back again for SS16 from country garden to oversized prints, including mixing up floral for a head to toe playful feel.

//Pop Art Brights: A colour pop, colour block trend in primary brights with contrasting colours working alongside each other, a great day-to-night look.

//New Romance: Already hitting the high-street for SS16, such a cute ultra-feminine look filled with ruffles, lace and silk featuring a delicate pastel colour palette.

If this sounds like your cup of tea keep an eye out for next season tickets going on sale at the London Fashion Weekend website, they have a newsletter too so you can sign up to be the first to hear. I'll also be posting all the details from my London Fashion Weekend outfit right here very soon so stay tuned!!

Topshop X Artisan Event

Food and fashion is always a perfect combination so when the chance came along to get involved in a Topshop summer styling event I of course went along with fellow blogger/designer Rianna Phillips. It was held at Artisan in Spinningfields Manchester which I love anyway, it has such an industrial feel, rustic and retro and the food is always so good! There was a Spring/Summer trend talk featuring key pieces from the Topshop collection, it was great to see some of the new in pieces. Personal shoppers Jo and Sarah were on hand to give advice on how they would style the collection together which was great to get different views/options on what works well together...and of course the cocktails were flowing as always.

For the outfit I went for double denim teaming high-waisted jeans with a trucker style denim jacket with a sherling collar. Layering with a stripe rib body from Topshop, I love the high collar detail adding a little 70's retro feel to the look. Finishing the outfit with a chunky gold necklace and my fave Quay Australia sunglasses. The sandals are Missguided but from last summer but there's still loads of similar styles around, they matched perfectly with my bargain Primark rucksack...such a beaut!

Missguided X Selfridges Launch Party

I was very happy to hear Missguided was finally opening a concession in the UK, not only that but one that was right on my door step at Selfridges in The Trafford Centre...even better!! Although not for my bank balance. Of course I was straight to the launch party to check it out and be one of the first to see the capsule collection, I was not disappointed...

Heading down with the blogger/designer beaut Rianna Phillips for a fashion filled evening. Greeted upon arrival with pink prosecco, sweet treats and a tote bag full of goodies. You may have already seen a few snaps from the evening up on my Instagram/Twitter (links below) Check out the hashtag #MissguidedXSelfridges. Not to mention the fab DJ Cassyette playing some on point music, perfect for shopping and photobooth fun! It was also great to meet some of the lovely Missguided girls...thanks for such a great night!!

I was in co-ord heaven and ended up buying 3...oops. Along with a few other bits which I will get up on the blog soon. The prints were incredible, perfect for summer with a mixture of soft pastels and bold brights with such a tropical feel. Spotting floral/leaf prints, and even iridescent shells...total mermaid heaven. They also had a section with more of a tribal feel with bohemian paisley prints perfect for that festival look with fringing, suede and lace up detailing.

Take a look below at some of my favourite pieces from the collection...they aren't exclusive to the concession so do not fear if you don't live in Manchester they can also be found in the Selfridges section at Missguided online.
