London Fashion Week SS14 Day 1

Fashion Week • LFW
Day 1 London Fashion Week. I obviously did not realise it was going to rain all day or I would have bothered to bring an umbrella. Fortunately I have my trusty sidekick Frances to help me out with a shared umbrella.  All black isn't really something I wear too much, especially not to fashion week (for many reasons some of which are detailed in this hilarious video) but today I just felt like it.  So I hope you like this simple and casual look.

Carbis Bay

Do • Inspiration

This is one of my favourite places in the world.  Carbis Bay.  Just around the corner from St Ives, it’s the most beautiful bay. The views are breathtaking and stretch around the coves and across St Ives.  The sand is white and the sea is a beautiful tropical blue.

If your thinking it looks familiar it’s because just around the corner is home to the fabulous Porthminster Cafe!  So even if you don’t organise a table you can still pick up some amazing treats from the cafe window on the beach.

Trust me this place is worth a visit, and when the weather is good like this you might as well be on a tropical beach.

Plus why not add a trip to the Hepworth Gallery (I wrote my dissertation on it!) and The Tate St Ives.

Tree Fairy

Editorials • On Location • Outfits
I wanted to do a whole tulle themed series.  First of all, tulle is amazing.  Secondly, I know on this site I focus on very wearable classic style, but every now and then its really fun to get the faux editorial big guns out.  Spending a lot of the summer out of the city really gave me a chance to do that.  Normally white tulle   has the unescapable bridal connotations, but I hope you will enjoy my fairy cream puff version.

With fashion week already upon us I have been rather out of the loop so far this season.

Unlike normal I haven’t been able to travel to New York this season. Avid readers will know I’m in the process of a major home design project (I love my new home and I just can’t wait to move there) which meant that I couldn’t run off to NYFW.

I’m so sorry if you were expecting my New York Fashion Week outfits about now, but they won’t be coming this season. I will be at London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, so don’t worry there will be some outfits to be seen soon.
