004: recently i've been.

Burlesque, I love my London, Choccywoccydoodah - not even kidding, faturdays, woops, Westminster, BINTM on Carnaby Street, Shoreditch sun, the first mention of fashion, discovering my business cards had been hiding at home for god knows how long, Mayfair Maddox, wearing some clothes.

token touristic snaps.

Battery issues, or a lack thereof had me resorting to trustee instagram. AND, to be truthfully honest, I spent a maje part of my time wining and dining with friends that I hadn't seen in far too long- happy snapping weren't my priority. Instead, have a shamefully small handful of the standard tourist photographs, albeit prettier versions.

fashion week inspiration.

Creeping upon us like a shadow in the night, London Fashion Week is literally days away. Somerset House, masquerading as the main stage, will play host to the world's street style playground. An environment, in which I imagine the presence of glamour and scrutiny are at their most ferocious. Bearing this all in mind, I'd like to look pretty haute, moderatley cool, etc. My usual stylish-self (modest, I know) appears to be on holiday and therefore I am calling upon the aid of these stylish sisters.

Fashion week stress has officially ensued.

Suggestions on a postcard, or in the comments. I don't fancy plastering my address all over the internet and whatnot.

where art thou?

Given my prolonged M.I.A period / elusivuty (word?) / general disappearing act, I thought an explanation was warranted. So you guessed it, this is what this is. I come baring no more exciting news than I've been adjusting back into the 'routine' of uni life. No biggie.

I did go to London yesterday however, on an impromptu day trip. Bumbled down New and Old Bond St. expecting to been blown away by the Street Lights exhibition. Alas, I was a day early.

 

Lace crop, bag and shades: TOPSHOP, Levi cut-offs: Camden, Brogues: New Look.

 So there you have it. I promise to be more in tune this week and will be revealing the secret intern shenanigans I got up to, what seems like a lifetime ago.

"Keep it real" - a sixty year old woman farewell'd me with that as me and my sister left her vintage shop on Lancaster Road.

Oh I love that place.
