So yesterday was the start of London Fashion Week and my was it a good day. Friday's are always the busiest day for me, I go to a few shows, wonder around the exhibition at Somerset House and most importantly I catch up with my blogger friends. I started the day by meeting Jazmine at Waterloo before going to the Bora Aksu show with Michelle, Rebecca and Ashley which was gorgeous but I'll do a proper review on that later. After the catwalk buzz I met Josh from We Are Social who kindly gifted me with a Clothing at Tesco fashion week survival kit full of useful things like sweets, make up wipes, accessories. Thank you very much! after being laden up like a bag lady the 4 of us checked out the Topshop Newgen exhibition. It was great to see and feel the clothes up close and the Newgen designers never fail to impress in terms of creativity. After resting my tired feet and people watching around Somerset House I headed to the Orla Kiely presentation with the girls where we spent far too long watching the models dancing to a live band and devouring champagne and cake. Whilst we were there we saw Elle, Jen, Gem, Lily and Kristabel so it was a bit of a blogger fest which is always a good thing. After bumping into a few more bloggers including Rachel, Sherin, Carrie, Lucy and Selina, Michelle and I headed to Goldsmiths Hall to see the Basso and Brooke show only to be turned away because the place was full i.e. a PR mess up! Not all was lost though. The 2 of us made it over to Byron in Covent Garden to have dinner with Sarah, Hayley, Amy and Christina which was so much fun. Wine, burger, tequila shots and bloody good company is definitely the best way to finish a day. FYI my celeb spot of the day was Lydia from TOWIE who was looking beautiful in a gorgeous baby blue dress.
