LONDON FASHION WEEK

It would be absolutely no exaggeration to say I am literally gutted about missing this year’s London Fashion Week (LFW). Unfortunately due to personal problems and work commitments I was not able to join the fashion world to celebrate the wonderful talent of LFW. Shocking!!!

Not only does it inspire to see the talent and efforts of designers lining a catwalk; but the atmosphere captures you- to be honest it was one of the most daunting things I did last year but also one of the best experiences. It spurred me on; yes I want invites to the shows not blagging my way in, yes I want passes, yes I want the exclusive interviews. So watch this space.

Although I didn’t get to actually go I have been tracking the LFW schedule and timeline, will be watching the videos of the shows and checking out all the pictures…. MORE TO COME!

Kurt Geiger: Elektra

As I’m sure most of you would agree Kurt Geiger wedges are just stunning. This KG by Kurt Geiger ‘Elektra’ wedge sandal is definitely no exception.

Super high of course; though with that killer platform shouldn’t be that uncomfortable from most high heels, the coloured band brightens the shoe contrasting the dark twist from the spike detailing. What a perfect shoe to go with cute little floaty summer dresses or to dress up jeans.
