"I have imbibed such a love for money that I keep some sequins in a drawer to count, and cry over them once a week." ~ Lord George Byron.

Alexi Freeman Stardust Trench - Alexi Freeman Sheer Maxi - Cotton On Black Tank

I was probably the luckiest girl alive to have up-and-coming detail-mastermind, Alexi Freeman, lend me some pieces to shake up at 6am before Uni and share with you all. Those of you who observed my Friday at RAFW will remember something like general appreciation for Alexi's sequin work - which, evidently, is working tenfold in this incredible trench from his AW11 collection. How he has managed to make that amount of sequins still look classic is a bit of a mystery to me, but I'm not going to make any complaints about appreciating its bedazzle-talent.






Ironically, the statement nature of the trench has made me appreciate the longer trench shape that much more - definitely need to get hunting some time soon.

Be sure to check out the rest of Alexi's collection HERE.

Paper Skye Pleated Maxi Dress - Belle Bijoux Woven Bag - DITA Sunglasses - Alexi Freeman Sequined Leggings - Therapy Shoes Big Ben Boots

I realised this morning on my rainy way to uni that I never share what I wore to the last day of RAFW (by which I was well and truly a mess in a corner - clad in sequins nonetheless). The combination of the sheer Paper Skye pleat glory and sequined legs by Alexi Freeman was probably the most fun I've had in an ensemble in a long time. Who doesn't love passer-by double takes - "Margaret... why are you sparkling?" - and billowing skirts?






Thanks so much to Nicole for snapping these for me!

And some extras thanks to Miss Zanita and Nicole respectively:




How was everyone's start to the week? Sydney decided to have a massive cry on the day I decided to wear a wool cape. Good times.
