Style Speaks Louder

London Fashion Week is my favourite of all the fashion week's, partly because I happen to live here, but also because I think the designers that show at London Fashion Week are some of the most creative minds in fashion.

There just seems to be an electric buzz in London during fashion week and the venues that host the catwalk shows are range from luxurious old listed buildings to the underground station at Kings Cross!

It was hard to narrow down my favourite looks for the London Fashion Week Round Up but here they are;

What caught your eye during London Fashion Week?

So it has been a while since I last posted in August, and as you may imagine I have now resigned the flirty summer dresses and short shorts to the storage cupboard and embraced again my winter woolies.

Maybe being born in winter (I'm a Decemember born) is the reason why I delight in thick scarfs, wool coats and knitted pom pom hats. I just cant get enough and to kick off my new posting I have made a mood board of all the winter gems I am loving or lusting over at the moment. From Burberry's shearling jacket to the return of fairisle knits here are my top winter treats.

I just love this Burberry shearling jacket, its the coat of the season and I heart the cute Topshop pom pom hat. I'm also have a moment with leopard print and Louboutin - a match made in heaven and these little booties are both sexy and cosy looking - if only I could walk in 5 inch heels (and money was no object) they would be mine!

Pretty florals, pastel colours and floaty fabrics. Yes I am talking about Spring Summer 2010 and the flirty floral trend that is already creeping into stores.
Despite the February cold we are in the middle of a full floral bloom as new season stock floods the stores.

The SS10 feminine trend is in stark contrast to the black leather and power shoulders of AW09 and despite my usual tomboy style I am embracing it whole heartedly.

In good ol’ Topshop I’ve already spied a pretty floral skirt and faded floral print shorts and if dreams came true I would also be snapping up the above gorgeous Erdem floral dress, which is where the whole floral trend really started.

In keeping with the girly feel of the floral trend, nude colours and soft fabrics are also a big SS10 hit. This Topshop layered pink chiffon top will look great with florals, as will this soft ribbed ASOS cardigan. And I love these suede and wood Ash wedges which will toughen up the girlyness.
