On Saturday I went to the London Fashion Week Festival for the first time, to meet up with some girlfriends and potter about the pop up stores. I ended up buying more than I bargained for, see below, but was very happy with my purchases!

The first thing to catch my eye was this great print wrap dress from Never Fully dressed. I do love a wrap or shirt dress for the Summer, but will wear it now with a black skinny cropped jean and boots, probably with a thermal t-shirt underneath given the current weather system!

It feels silky but is actually made from 100% polyester which makes it easier to care for. I paid £60 for it at the LFWF and it's currently on their website at £69, see left, for a better idea of how the style looks  actually on.

I was tempted by an Anya Hindmarch boxy All over Sticker cross body bag, which had a great discount but it was still £595, so decided to pass.

I didn't pass on the Jane Carr 100% silk scarves though. I ended up buying two; one in darker tones. see above left and a larger one in summer brights.

I then came across the S'well bottle stand and as I've promoted their bottles several times it was a no brainer and plumped for the design above right. It will definitely elevate my gym kit! 

Then onto the shoe section where I fell in love with a pair of Julia Mays slouch boots with contrast panel block coloured heels, below. They didn't have my size left which makes the decision making process a lot easier and cheaper! This is one luxury footwear label to watch; Julia designs the range in her London studio and then they're handcrafted in a family run factory in Northern Italy, in keeping with her brand values of 'fair sustainable production' and a 'celebration of art and craftsmanship'.

However I did buy a pair of statement two tone French Sole pony skin flats with a buckle. They have a sixties feel about them and will liven up a basic look of skinny jeans and silk shirt. Come Spring I know I'll get my wear out of them so was happy to pay £80 for them when they can retail for about £140.

We finished off our retail therapy and headed for a cocktail in Scarfes Bar at The Rosewood hotel, which was the perfect way to catch up properly with the girls before heading back to the South Coast!
