Scarf - New Look, Coat, Shoes, Tartan Top - Primark, Black Playsuit (worn as pinafore) - H&M

I went to London today, in the hope of going to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. But we arrived and it was shut. Hmm, we probably should have checked it was open before going. So we went shopping instead! I bought some nice bits and pieces which I'll probably write a haul post about later in the week. I thought I would share a few photos of what I wore (which you can't really see because of my coat and scarf) but hey ho.

Have a lovely weekend!

This Friday I took part in a (eleven hour!) day at the V&A helping run a fashion show. It was part of the V&As programme Fashion in Motion, featuring Kansai Yamamoto. His designs were beautiful to say the least, featuring vivid colours and bright prints (which can bee seen in the photo above).

My favourite piece by far was the iPad dress, which is on the far right in the photo. It had a beautiful floral train and the model had clear spikes on her head, amazing. The show itself was crazy, at one point people dressed in black danced around with white dolls dressed in jackets and hats, models cartwheeled down the catwalk and a man playing a traditional Japanese trumpet type instrument sat at the front. Another lovely touch was small coins were placed on each seat, which are a Japanese token for good luck (commonly tied onto people's shoelaces, according to one of the models).

I had a wonderful day and after previously helping with a Jenny Packham show in June, I cannot wait to do it again this December.
