London Fashion Week – Day 1

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman

London Fashion Week, it’s here!

London Fashion Week The Frugality
Hat: TK Maxx. Coat: Zara. Shirt: Uniqlo. Bag: Sophie Anderson. Leather trousers: Marks & Spencer. Shoes: Jimmy Choo
 
A TK’MAXX Find
Now it’s not often I pop into TK Maxx for clothes, but I just happen to pass a hat for £12 a little while back and love it. Sooner or later, I knew something would have caught my eye in there… Generally speaking, it helps to lift an otherwise plain outfit – just make sure it’s not a windy day! Reiss also do great hats, this one is very similar to my frugal find (and probably better quality).
The Leather Leggings
And I know I’ve featured these M&S leather leggings before, they are so versatile and such a wardrobe staple (seriously). They no longer sell them, but have a (sort of) similar pair here. I wear mine with a long-line shirt from Uniqlo to keep them paired back and simple, a classic look. They work well with flats but equally with a fab pair of pointy courts, as demonstrated by the gorgeous Style on The Couch blog.

Sophie Anderson Clutch Bag
 
This fabulous clutch is by Sophie Anderson, an amazing accessories designer who I have stumbled upon through work – I love the vibrancy of this bag – and it fits my iPad – the dream. Her SS13 collection will soon be stocked at Matches.
 
London Fashion Week pass
 
 
My new ring, is from Maria Francesca Pepe from Amazon’s Jewellery Boutique. I knew Amazon stocked jewellery, but I certainly had no idea they had edgier brands like Maria Francesca Pepe, whose studded designs are a hit with our Fashion Team:

    I'm looking for some pointy courts, but with a little (kitten maybe?) heel. Ideally not slingback and black, though something vibrant could work. Any ideas?

      What about something like these from New Look…? I really rate their shoes http://tiny.cc/w4dmsw
      Office also do some but alas, they are slingback x

    You look perfect! Love the coat and hat. So nice to see a proper hat (how old does THAT make me sound?!?) Rather than a bloody bowler hat!!

    Jealous of your lovely LFW times even after only day one 🙂 xxxx

    Thank you so much for the mention! I was hoping we might bump into each other for fashion week but the days get a bit crazy, no? I'd love to meet up for a coffee sometime and talk all things blogging.
