Take all that you can carry!
With London Fashion Week approaching, I have to start to get organised with my clothes and essential bring-alongs. Other than tickets to the shows and presentations – which lets be honest are kinda the most important things to remember – I also have a survival kit.
This includes…
- Bottle of water – not glamours but essential
- iPhone
- iPad
- Tissues – again boring essential
- Camera – either my Polaroid or Canon 60D
- Blister plasters
- Scarf either white or oatmeal – even if it doesnt go with the outfit, its winter be prepared to hang around outside in sub-zero temperatures, you can always remove for photographs anyway
- Touch up make-up – depends what you are wearing but generally a lipstick and bronzer… I hate looking pasty
- Lip Balm – sooo essential, I like Eve Lom, Palms and Chapsticks
- Mints and gum – no one wants to be talking to smelly breath
In terms of the most interesting – by which I mean decorative – essentials, I have certain wardrobe essentials that I always need at some point during LFW…
- Big bags – big leopard YSL Downton or Fendi snakeskin tote
- Big sunglasses – Giant Vintage, Tom ford, Lanvin
- My mini Hermes Birkin
- Belts – mostly Hermes ‘H’, collier de chien belt and vintage
- Venetian gloves
- Statement shoes with super high heels
- Hats, hats and more hats – Philip Tracey, Marie Mercier and Maison Michel
- Costume jewellery – mostly Topshop and Asos
