We (Myself, Jasmine, Leah and Emily) my fashion girlies from WSA, were fortunate enough to land ourselves tickets for Sunday and the 'Want to work in Fashion?' talk, which for four fashion students is perfect.

We were allowed entry into the foyer at 4pm, there was loads on offer including free hair, make up and nail bars, Burberry photo booth, Vogue cafe, champagne bar and Vogue gift shop; where I picked up a Vogue keep cup so I can now take a stylish cup of coffee into my lectures and a 1960's Vogue print for bedroom in my new house. Our talk was at 4.30pm and wow what legends were on the stage. If I'm honest I was a little scared when I left, the fashion industry is so daunting and a surprising small world, first impressions count.

London Fashion Weekend Febuary 2014

20-23rd February 2014 was Vodafone London Fashion Weekend, a follow up to London Fashion Week. We were lucky enough to score silver tickets for the Sunday which was also Momma Jones' birthday (sorry Mum), our tickets also included a trend show and filled tote bag designed by Julien Macdonald. Our goodies included Essie nail polish, Mabelline baby lips, dry shampoo and a flapjack to save us from starvation.

LFWend is set at Somerset House, there was loads to see and do, all the wings were filled with designers including: Charlotte Taylor, Textile Federation, Cadenzza and Yolke to name a few, check out the full list of designer shopping here http://www.londonfashionweekend.co.uk/index.php/shop 

We also caught the 12.30 Trend catwalk show which showcased 4 popular trends for Spring/Summer 2014 including Precious Metals, Flower Power, Lace Embrace and Good Sport. Precious metals is by far my favourite, I love anything shiny this season I'm like a magpie. 

Catwalk photography on your iPhone is a skill on its own, I don't know how these bloggers and fashionista do such a good job, this is my only non blurry attempt.
