Short memory lane.

Between manically figuring out what needs to be committed to some form of knowledge for my last two exams at the end of this week, I started reminiscing about RAFW that is now a good month and a half ago - though it really doesn't seem like that long. So, because I haven't had the chance to share all of my snaps from front row, back row, no row, backstage, streetside, foodside, friendside... I thought I'd bombard you with an absolute monster of a post of photos that have been waiting patiently to have their moment.

Ready?

27. Pretty Miss Nadia attentive at one of the group shows

Did I just put 29 photos in one post? Yes I did. This is probably a good time to say thank you to all the amazing people who made RAFW possible/fun/a whirlwind of an experience for me! Can't wait to dig into a ridiculous number of projects that have arisen because of it. Evidently, I have so much to share once these awful exams are over and done with - see you on the other end, lovers!

Hope you all enjoyed that and that you all had a fantastic weekend.

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.

Paper Skye SS11/12.

Photos thanks to Dean Hargreaves

I'm fairly sure I've showed you 5001 bits and pieces of the Paper Skye collection I styled/shot/loved at RAFW, but I don't remember showing you the actual runway photos. So, thank you to the super talented (and efficient) Mr Dean Hargreaves, here are some snaps of the stunning collection (if I haven't said it enough). Although it's a while away, I'll definitely keep you all updated on when these babies hit stores (a dance around a change room in some of that chiffon is definitely worth a go).

P.S. thank you all for your sweet emails about my feature in DOLLY Magazine! I'll put up a scan tonight, I promise :)

*love*
