Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 11- Shop The Collection Now

Gemma Arterton, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Donna Air, Sienna Miller, Mario Testino, Laura Bailey, Rachel Zoe, Ellie Goulding were just a few of the well heeled celebrities who came out for the always-exciting Burberry Prorsum show in Hyde Park, during today's London Fashion week.

Of the celebrities, five of them, including the glamorous Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sienna Miller, rocked up in tight black leather skinnies, so if there was ever a time to invest in a pair this is probably it girls.

The show was opened by the beautiful Cara Delevingne and followed by Jourdan Dunn – and were followed by a host of beautiful models in autumnal shades of dark plum, bronze, mauve, teal and ivy green, a palette that 's more suited to an autumn/winter show but with such beautiful pieces nobody's complaining, plus you can buy several pieces from the Spring summer collection right now, yes RIGHT NOW, only on Burberry (of course!) so this may be in the inspiration for such dark colours. Now Isn't that smart? As Tom Ford has pointed out several times, the shows and clothes get so much exposure that people are bored of them by the time they hit the shops, what a bright idea, in-fact an idea right on the money - to sell your products while they are still very much in everyone's mind and more importantly on their "I want this now!" list. Genius Idea.

Textures were key to the s/s 11 look  - Woven raffia bags, belts and shoes, in stripes of mustard and navy or plum and black, hardy cotton Luxury parkas whose hoods were trimmed in bulging, spiky raffia or with Shaggy fur collars. If we had any doubts about the Parka being back they are long gone!





Ellie Goulding
 Ellie mixed a rather bright shapless shirt with skinny leather jeans for a more laid-back look.
Rachel Zoe
 The formidable Miss Zoe looked as formidable as ever in an over-sized check coat with wool collar and sleeve which seemed to swamp her slightly.it was cold today, not that cold.
Laura Bailey
 The serene looking Laura Bailey looked stunning in a classic Burberry mac.
Sienna Miller
 Sienna Miller was obviously too busy to make too much of an effort but at least she looked pretty!
Donna Air
 Donna Air looked kooky and fun in an over-sized jacked and green jumper over shinny leather skinnies.
Rosie Huntingdon Whiteley
 Rosie embodies the S/S collection from head to toe. You can buy the full look right now on Burberry.
Gemma Arterton
 Gemma decided on a classic look with a twist, opting for a white shirt and a black jacket and skinny jeans.

Olivia Palermo and Pixie Lott both looked utterly fabulous as they arrive at the Jaeger show today at this years London Fashion Week at Somerset House. 


Pixie rocked up wearing the Jaeger Boutique Breton Wool dress while Olivia wore a beautiful white tuxedo jacket with black lapel over a white pattern blouse and a black maxi skirt.

Mawi, three ways to get your hands on it at great prices

Since Mawi launched in 2003 it has fastly become a fashion must have. 


Designer Mawi Keivom was raised around the world and it certainly shows in her eclectic, playful pieces. Her eyecatching designs have an futuristic feel to them, making each item seem like a precious heirloom found in your Grandma's jewellery box, albeit a very modern one.

If like me, you're a big fan of Mawi but not of the prices I've got three solutions for you but be quick..




I've discovered them on ASOS outlet and Brand Alley for a short while. They were also present at the London Fashion Weekender but I'd already blown my budget by the time I came across them..


ASOS, prices start at £65 for earrings but they've got a very small range


Brand Alley, prices from £50 for necklaces and they've got some great pieces with a huge range


Amelie Boutique, prices from £39 and a limited selection but some really nice pieces to choose from.

Bag a bargain at Vodafone London Fashion Weekend!


I spent the most enjoyable day shopping at the Vodafone Fashion Weekender yesterday with one of my favourite fashion forward friends..

Somerset House was abuzz with girls bagging bargains and not-on-the-high-street-finds.

My top picks are definitely worthy of bargain of the year awards..

Anna Lou of London - This gorgeous Jewellery was reduced by up to 70%, my fav pick was a sparkly red heart brooch for only £5 which normally retails for £12.. bargain.






Ant!podium - beautifully cut tops and dresses at a fraction of the original price.. I'm still lamenting the fact I left a black skater line dress behind!


Blingdeenie - I went a bit crazy and spent far too much money on earrings, a spiky cuff and this amazing lion-head/door knocker chain.. take my word for it, it's amazing, I bought it for a bargainous £18 when it normally retails for £50.






Buddhist Punk - I love love these t-shirts, they're so soft and give you a cool edge without even trying.. plus they were all about £20.


The Designer Studio had some Dolce & Gabbana dresses reduced from £4500 down to £450, not cheap but some of them were amazing and would last you forever.


French Sole - My friend picked up the most amazing pair of green suede pumps for £50, they normally retail at £130 (not the ones show below).






Karl Donohue - Fur be it fake or real is going to be HUGE so get some for your winter wardrobe now. I actually bough the hat below last year at this stand but the girl who sold it to me remembered remembered me, which I though was quite nice, although my friend pointed out that may not be a good thing but who cares.. these hats are so luxurious and discounted by almost 50% on the day.
Lola Rose  - My first fashion frenzy of the day began at this stand.. the rings were to die for, no seriously they were. My only problem was the majority of the most beautiful ones appeared to be for fat-fingered people, once i got past this minor obstacle both myself and my friend picked up two rings for £35 each, I've just been on to ASOS and they normally cost £85 and £95 respectively. If that's not worth the price of the entrance in what is?
