lfw diary | day four

23th February 2016
[lem_title]THE OUTFIT[/lem_title] I awoke on day 4 of London Fashion Week with optimism, I would be heading back stage at one of the most incredibly talented and intricate designers of Womenswear, Erdem. Today would obviously be a good day. There was so much optimism within me that I honestly believed I could bare my legs, in England, in February. I had well and truly lost my mind. But I had been itching to give this beautiful cream dress from my first expedition to Club Monaco on the Kings road for weeks and had chosen to save it especially for London Fashion Week, I would not let something so irrelevant as a bitterly cold start to the day, stand in my way. I lasted until around 12 in the afternoon and then swiftly made my way home to the warmth of my hotel room before heading into Soho for a bubble tea date, missing the Joseph show due to traffic and then on to dinner at our mutual favourite STK. It was almost the perfect end to the shows for this season for me.   photography by Joseph Galvin. [lem_title]THE SHOWS[/lem_title] Heading back stage at Erdem was a pinch me moment. Regular readers will be aware of my love of feminine and delicate dresses the more frills, florals and embellishments the better and Erdem epitomises this perfectly.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
