My London Fashion Week

.. that you can actually wear now.  London Fashion Week is amazing when it comes to getting ideas of what we will all be wearing next Spring Summer.  It's also a chance to champion and remind ourselves how great and strong British Fashion is. 

But to be able to see the designers who have diffusion ranges on the high street - well that's super interesting.  This is the third time I've been invited by Debenhams to see their Designer's shows and we went to four this time round. 

AND we dressed in current season outfits for each show, which are now available for AW instore in Debenhams.  I attended the shows as part of a partnership with them but I wasn't asked to do a blog post.  However I've had so many people ask for details of the outfits  - most of them weren't actually yet in stock mid September, but now practically everything can be bought.

First up was the sublimely elegant Jasper Conran.  We sat opposite Suggs and saw Darcey Bussell and Kristen Scott Thomas afterwards.  Day. Made.

J by Jasper Conran Multicoloured diamond jacquard coat £130

J by Jasper Conran Navy Printed Jacquard Jacket £85



And the matching trousers £49



J by Jasper Conran Purple Suedette Jip Shoes were £59 now £47.20 (currently on 20% offer)




They also do these in a black patent which I think would be super useful and a fabulous change if you're not a fan of a stiletto.



But here I am in the purple...






Red Suedette Biletto Faith Boots £59


 




Studio By Preen Wrap Dress £89




And then finally to the sublime Jenny Packham showroom.  Simply the most stunning evening dresses ever.

Alas the boots aren't in stock yet.

No.1 Jenny Packham Dark Gold Natalia Satin Wrap Evening Dress was £159 now £129.20







So there we have the super brief story of my London Fashion Week(end).  I say weekend as I did only do Saturday and Sunday. 

In other news, I really wanted to apologise for not writing as much as I used to.  Work in this crazy sphere, working with brands, has really taken off and I simply just don't have as much time as I used to. There is a lot of travelling and writing and shooting for other people, all of which is great but it does mean that I have significantly less time to focus on the blog.  Not to mention having three children in three different schools, which has its own challenges (as in - life is INSANE!). 

However in the next week, I definitely have more generic blog posts up my sleeve - we have blazers to look at, I have had requests for leather and coated trousers and skinnies, not to mention I still haven't done tote bags... Oversized knits have my name all over it, so I'm going to be looking at them too, along with some super interesting beauty blog posts. 

There is ALWAYS something going on over on Instagram - may I suggest, if you're not signed up, it really is a great great place (and I'm the imaginatively titled Does My Bum Look 40 over there..)

Have a great weekend everyone!
