Day 4 got a bit complicated when the invite to Burberry arrived. I always use the show as my line when people ask me what shows I’m attending – I quip, well I didn’t get in to Burberry (it’s always very strictly limited). In fact, I had booked my hair appointment at the time of the show, needless to say this got moved. The thing about fashion weeks is that invites to the shows generally arrive only a few days before so planning ahead is rather difficult.
I started off the day by getting my makeup done at the Maybelline Lounge followed by a cut and style at Toni & Guy. I decided to change the style of my hair and go for something a bit softer with more layers, Spring is soon here and I prefer this sort of style for the warmer days.
Now about this photo which you’ve already seen in my previous post – I’m standing next to a famous singer – Tallia Storm !! I found out after but at the time I thought she looked so cool with that hair.
Andddd here I met one my my favourite bloggers – The Glam and The Glitter
And time for some snaps around the lovely Kensington Gardens – and hey the sun was shining ! After watching the show I was quite happy I wore this skirt – suede fringed leather was a big part of the collection. I’d have preferred wearing higher heeled boots with this skirt but then I wouldn’t have made it through the day and I had other shows, unlike the stars I didn’t have a driver :).
Shoes is the hardest part about dressing for fashion week even just in terms of luggage weight and even though I haven’t worn really high heels, right this minute whilst I’m typing this out my feet are sobbing and asking for a massage.
Outfit Details : Coat : MAX&Co. / Skirt : Rene Derhy / Scarf : Hermes / Boots : Nero Giardini at Stivaletti / Bag : Miu Miu / Earring : Pippa Toledo / Bow Tie : One from the Hubby’s Collection
Now for some of my favourite looks from the collection – if you haven’t watched the show you should watch it here – it’s worth watching even if you’re not into fashion, simply for the most amazing music by Claire Maguire.
The clothes, inspired by Durham quilting, presented were a mixture of suede, multicoloured prints, lots of fringes, swirls and florals and patchwork. The fabrics scream luxury, the coats unbelievably lux and they just make you want to lose yourself inside them. This particular coat in shearling intarsia featuring a floral design below is my favourite.

There was a lot of suede and this cape has so much texture and so much character, wearing it would ensure a wonderful day.
