Zoe Jordan AW13

So the two collections I was luckily enough to see where Zoe Jordan and Bora Aksu! I never normally do reviews on collections, I like to leave that to the professionals! But I might as well give it go! (Never know,Mulberry may ask me to review their show next collection after this!)  This post is the Zoe Jordan collection!

So London Fashion Week kicked off with Zoe Jordan! After the hype over Laura Whitemore, Jamie Winstone and other celebs on the frow had died down the show started!
It started off with clean cut white pieces that slowly turned into monochrome! (Think AW13,Think monochrome) But it wasn't long before the designer was adding in a touch of colour! Oranges and pinks really brighten up the collection! All her pieces were had a simple shape,letting the patterns and the colours doing the talking! The shoes had similiar characterics, many were a strong moody colour will a pop of orange or white! She also adding in hints of knitwear but still keeping the clothing casual! Then at the very end three amazing metallic pieces came out! A very successful collection and a great way to start fashion week!




Also a get back-ground view of the running steps to her collection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_V8J7iA80c




London Fashion Week

If you remember I posted before about how I was going to London Fashion Week! I've been having a break from blogging for a while as I've been using up my time preparing for the day with my outfit ideas and looking up designers ect..  Well,yesterday was the day!

Quickly, I'll tell you about Thursday! Thursday was London Fashion Week eve and vodafone had put on a Mary Katrantzou showcase! It showed two of her last years collections,the hair,the make-up and also a clip from the designer on her inspirations! Mary is famous for her prints and it was great to see some of them up close! She uses regular every-day objects and turns them into a pattern! My favorite was the coat hanger one! She also recently had a collection in topshop! Keep your eyes out on Sunday (17th)  at 16:00 when she shows her AW 13 collection,I'm rather excited! Here's a few pictures but if you haven't already I'd google some of her past collections!

After that I headed back to my hotel and got ready for my early start the next day! At half 7 (It was my half term remember) I got up,got dressed and headed to the underground! Me and my mum headed to the Sommerset house grabbing a starbucks on the way! (Everyone lives on coffee in fashion week,right?) Anyway,I noticed that the early starts didnt stop any fashionistas in London! The highly decorated white tents where surrounded by some of the best dressed in town and also a gang of the Made In Chelsea stars were thrown in the mix! After some serious people watching I went inside and watched the Zoe Jordan AW13 collection and an hour later followed the Bora Asku (My reviews will be posted shortly)

I can only be grateful of an amazing fashion experience I have had! Last season I could only of dreamed of being at Fashion week! But that's not the end of it, fashion week has only just started! Are you ready?

Winter Sunshine

Hey! This is going to be an outfit post (also with a hint of my London Fashion Week excitement )  So basically when I was choosing this outfit I decided to forget it was winter I suppose? I fell into the harsh winter sun trap! Alice,just because the sun is shining,doesn't mean he has his hat on?! Just like a gladiator at battle, I walked out into the 'unbearable climate'. (A little over-dramatic I know..) 
So with the bold flowery shorts I added plenty accessories to add a touch of sparkle!
Both bracelet and necklace are from topshop!



Also my London Fashion Week tickets have arrived!! ONLY ONE MORE WEEK TO GOO! So excited I could literally burst and then burst again! I'll be  at Mary Katrantzou pre-fashion week collection and two other collections on friday morning! I'm not only excited for London but also checking out collections and pre-views of all the fashion week! Feb is defiantly one of my fave months! Here are my tickets..

Outfit Planning!

It still haven't quite yet sunk in that I'm going London Fashion Week!! Almost as soon as I knew I was going,the first thing to come into my head was 'What am I going to wear???' I mean,if it's time to impress, ITS NOW! So the outfit planning has started! Spending several days with my head in the wardrobe and many shopping trips! Here is one option,but who knows,by the end of the writing this post I made of changed my mind...

'The' Dress & 'The' Heels

Do we all remember New Year's Eve? Do we all remember what we wore? Well this post is all about that outfit I wore! (This post could of been done sooner i guess..haha) I thought and planned my perfect NYE outfit for weeks and weeks! Scrolling for hundreds of online sits and countless window shopping trips! Then one day I found the perfect outfit! The dress I choose was very different to some of magazine cut-outs I had but still it was the one for me! As well for the heels, they were just love as first sight! What I love about both of the pieces is that i got them both from House Of Fraser and I'll be able to wear them again and again!

Bits and Bobs

Mish,Mash,Mosh! The post is about not just one but two things! Just like going to a supermarket and buying your fave mag and coming home with two for the same price! 
Yep.. haha! 
First I'll like to write about one of favorite things,my boyfriend..jeans! We all have our favorite pair that just seem to fit us in the right places! The pair that at every opportunity we slip into! Well mine are the pair i brought from a store in Florida. They are baggy,ripped and ruffled but aren't they the key features which add the boyfriend to the jean. So,whats your favorite pair of jeans? Are they because they make your bum look good? or Are you more like me and because they are extra comfy?

Also as well as boyfriend jeans,getting a new bag is another one of my faves list!
And what better time to get one when the sales are on?? So on my shopping trip i hunted around every shop to get find my new arm-candy. Finally I found myself in the same place as last year, House Of Fraser. I found myself looking at the same brand,Linea. They are a gorgeous brand with beautiful bags that i have fell for twice now!

23 Of Fashion


Ahhh!! I've changed my name!! 23 Of Fashion! As i go back to school on Monday I know the timing could of been better however when the name came into my head there was nothing that was stopping me! I have read on all different websites and blogs that it isn't good to have a long blog name! Sadly for me, mine was! I knew i needed to change it soon but I just couldn't think what? 
Well after doing my daily blog browsing i came across one that was called 11! I really their header and how the number was presented! Seeing that made me want to use my favorite number! Some time later I finally worked a name out that luckily wasn't taken! 23 Of Fashion! 23? Birthday number and just a number that seems to pop up everywhere so i thought,why not??

Along with the launch of my new blog name, here is a outfit post! 
I went to a small town a train journey away called Market Harobough with two of friends!
In sales a few weeks I brought a a gorg pair of floral pattern trousers and I was just looking for the right moment to wear them! So when the girls said 'Lets go out to eat' I knew this was my chance!
