London Fashion Week AW12: Topshop Unique
Aside from Mulberry, this was my other favourite show of London Fashion Week. I know we haven’t even had a chance to wear Spring/Summer clothing, but this collection makes me want Autumn/Winter to hurry up!
Where Laura went: Glam Media Blogger's suite at...
Held in the Dome Suite at the very chic One Aldwych hotel, The Glam Media Blogger’s Suite was a place for bloggers who were attending London Fashion Week to visit with their laptops or iPads and use as a temporary workspace to type up some copy or just browse the internet.
A stone’s throw away from Somerset House, the venue was very gorgeous and fitting to Glam and Rimmel London, the sponsors of...
London Fashion Week: Essentials
With London Fashion Week finished until September and the fashion elite moving on to Milan, I was thinking about the last few days and the more than a few moments of panic I felt in the run up to the biggest fashion event of the year. First off, what do I wear? Second, what do I pack?
I am a big fan of bags (especially Mulberry and Chanel!) so I had to think long and hard about what bag to take....

London Fashion Week AW12: Mulberry
In my opinion, Mulberry can never do wrong and they proved that on Sunday, with their Autumn/Winter show at Claridge’s.
I woke up to news of the latest addition to the Mulberry family - the Del Rey and then the pre-show tweets began to take over my Twitter feed. The Mulberry show is one the fashion press, buyers and lovers look forward to each season and it never disappoints.

What Laura wore next: LFW day 2
Outfit number two, for day two of London Fashion Week. Once again, I’m wearing print but I found this ‘Zoe’ dress by Motel in their concession at the Topshop flagship and instantly fell in love! I have been a huge fan of Motel for years and have a few dresses by them. Their sizing and prices are brilliant. I have always found their dresses to me very flattering for my body shape...

What Laura wore next: LFW day 1
This is what I wore on Friday to London Fashion Week. I have found myself drawn to a lot of printed clothing in the shops recently, and I found this maxi skirt in Zara about a month ago. The jumper is by Monki and is very comfortable and warm which, is one of the reasons I wore it! I actually had my photo taken a couple of times throughout the day and both times, completely forgot to ask where the...
Where Laura went: London Fashion Week
Ok so I’m a little behind with my blogging. Fashion week has ended and here I am recapping my two days! Last Friday, I headed up to London to attend my very first London Fashion Week. My press application was accepted a few days before it started, so unfortunately, it didn’t give me much time to request tickets for shows. However, I spent a couple of days running around Somerset House having a...

What Laura wants: Zara
I reckon I love Zara more than my cat. Each season I want almost everything they produce. It’s a little bit ridiculous actually but the quality and price points are so good.
Zara is my first stop for any occasion. As much as I love other high-street brands such as Topshop, I always end up in Zara first. I popped in the other day to my local store and found myself trying on so many pieces!...
What Laura made: Slutty brownies
I found this recipe a couple of weeks back on a lovely blog I follow called The Londoner. Ever since I laid eyes her post, I have wanted an excuse to try them out. So, yesterday I had plans to meet up with some of my lovely friends for drinks and dinner to ‘celebrate’ Anti-Valentine’s day and decided that this would be the perfect time to bake some ‘Slutty Brownies’ to show how much I...
What Laura wore next: Little black dress
Another week finished and I can’t wait for a chilled weekend at home in Brighton.
This black dress is from Topshop (of course!) I bought it ages ago but it is still available in stores and online. It comes in various colourways and patterns and is so comfortable and versatile.
The blazer is from River Island about 3 years ago. I got it for £20 in their winter sale and I wear it every...

What Laura wants: Topshop Unique SS12
For me, it’s hard NOT to find anything I like in Topshop. I’ve always had this problem and each season it seems to get worse for my bank balance but better for the British high-street. They seem to flourish season, after season and are always the first point of call for me and millions of other ladies when it comes to finding a dress or a new pair of jeans or even a simple t-shirt.
This being...

The object(s) of my affection
I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day and never really have been. However, whilst browsing the internet this morning I slowly started making a list of things that I am in LOVE with right now. So, seeing as February is (apparently) the month of LOVE, I thought I would share these with you. Remember - a girl can dream!
I am *still* in love with all the jewellery by the girls behind the...
What Laura wants: Monki
Monki is still one of my favourite high-street brands around at the moment. They are such a quirky, fun brand which shows through their products. Something that I think high-streets brands need to remember - that fashion is all about having fun!
Moa Blouse
Katleen Jacket
Leto dress
Monki is opening a store on Carnaby Street in London over the next few weeks and, I can’t wait to...

A few of my favourite things
I thought I would post a few of my favourite things that I’ve been using over the last couple of weeks.
You may recognise these beautiful studded high tops from a previous post of mine. They’re by Kurt Geiger and are part of their SS12 collection. I fell in love with them back in November at their press day and I’m so happy they are now a part of my shoe collection! They’re very soft,...
