I went the opening night of London Fashion Weekend at Somerset House with my girls from the course last night. Despite a veery heavy night before I still managed to have an awesome time and its the first time I've visited the beautiful Somerset House which was sort of surreal after a life time of seeing it in fashion magazines finally being there. The catwalk show itself was a bit of a disappointment, technical difficulties included, but I think thats down to personal taste. However I loved the Kat Maconie shoes all the models were wearing.

The rest of the event was far better- we has such a laugh with Diet Coke in the Jean Paul Gaultier photo booth and got kitted out good a proper with Triumph Lingerie. Lots of smaller Designers had stalls there including my fave Zoe Karssen, so anyone who knows me knows  I was in T-shirt heaven! The goodie bags are worth a mention too- I've heard a lot of grumbling along the grapevine about the price of the 'Showbag' but actually it was really reasonable considering the amount of products inside: A good size miniature of Label M sea salt spray, aluminium JPG bottles of Diet Coke, cute pink Frenchies from Triumph, a variety of Estee Lauder products and lots of discounts and coupons. Did someone say recessionista?!

Welcome To The Greatest Show On Earth

Ive been blogging for nigh on a couple of years now, and every now and then i get a little fed up and call it quits. I did the very same about 6 months back now, and since then my head has been over run with thoughts and pretty dresses so here I am all over again...

It seems a good reason now more than ever as so much is about to change. After dreaming it for years, I'm finally leaving for the big City lights. This September (in a couple of days actually, eek!) I'm relocating (yes, relocating as these mature types say) to London to study Fashion Buying at London College of Fashion. I'm beyond excited-  Ive always been a country girl with big dreams, and this has been one ever since I can remember.

Whilst I'm leaving a lot behind, I know I'm on the verge of something special. Let me share my adventure with you....
