I am very excited to be going to The Glam Show this weekend and so very glad that I am over being sick and this is just what I need. I am just going for the Saturday but it runs for two days, full of fashion, fun, pampering and shopping - couldn't think of anything better. it's taking place at Earls Court and is in association with TV lifestyle guru Nicky Hambleton-Jones. I think it's going to be a pretty packed day as there seems to be loads going on, from Fashion shows to vintage workshops (A MUST!!!), there is also going to be a beauty and hair salon zone, as well as health, body and mind zone...if you need to relax from all the crazy shopping that I am sure will go on. I know that I am going to be hanging out in the Vintage row most of the day. Lots of photo's will follow of course and I will be doing some outfit posts soon, as it's shopping tomorrow for Saturday - yey :). So if your in London this weekend...you know where it's at

So I recently acquired my grandfathers 1965 trilby and it's exactly what I have been looking for - it's by the British Brand Vero and it's just simply quality...unlike the "remakes" sold in places like H&M (which I have and still love) but the fit on this is great. Anyway this is the first outfit post with what I term my "winter" boots. I am very much into sweaters and jumpers right now.
So it's Vero Vintage Trilby, Le Chateau Jersey, Laura Ashley Necklace, H&M tights, Clarks boots, Ferragamo Bag

If your in London do go and check out the show-studio exhibition at Somerset house, it runs until the 20th December and is well worth checking out. Showstudio.com has been online for 9 years and is the brain child of fashion photographer Nick Knight. The exhibition is based on the themes of  Process', 'Performance' and 'Participation', and showcases over twenty projects from Show Studio's archive. As soon as you enter the exhibition to step into the mirror room...which you could literally spend hours in, mirror's on the ceiling, floor and all around you like a dome of observation. Leaving that you are confronted with huge over 10 feet tall Naomi sculptures with different images being projected on to her. You get a real sense of involvement in this exhibition, you can touch everything, pick it up, listen to audio and even call the good looking model sitting in the room. They have a cool collection of small class plates with lipstick kisses from famous models alike including Agnes and Kate Moss. The exhibition also host's a beautiful collection of various designers outfits, photographs and really inspiring fashion films.

 

 

Had a lot of fun in the mirror room - so a quick outfit run down - Gerard Darel Jacket, French Connection Top, Next jeans, MK shoes, Mulberry overnight bag, H&M Beret

Spotlight on......Jean-Pierre Braganza

Spotlight on......Jean-Pierre Braganza

He seems to be the one everyone is whispering about but those whispers are getting louder and for good reason. At London Fashion Week I just feel in love with Jean-Pierre Braganza's designs....they are straight, edgy and to the point with bold colours and architectural shapes. I felt like they reveal enough but still hold a sense of comfortability and masculinity in a dress to feel empowered. I also love black....I just do...and I love with his designs black seems to be the basis and then colour is added on top of this. Jean-Pierre said in an interview that he lives and breaths hard rock and industrial music and you can totally see this in his designs, he recently designed some piece's for Nine Inch Nails. He was also personally selected by Karl Lagerfeld to showcase his work as part of Innovation's Protégé Project in 2008.I expect big things are going to happen for this talented designer.
