AW12 Trend: Shopping Romantic Gothic With Westfield London

AW12 Trend: Shopping Romantic Gothic With Westfield London

This week I was invited to shop the trends with Westfield London, which of course I jumped at the chance of doing, shopping isn’t a chore is it!!! My trend was Gothic, which I know for some they will instantly be thinking it isn’t for them as it is quite grungy, but forget the look of season’s past for autumn/winter 2012 Gothic is more romantic, feminine and seductive. Seen on the catwalks of Valentino, Versace, Gucci, Nina Ricci, Helmut Lang, Givenchy, and Etro, the trend is full of black, a given really, but this season the trend really works contrasting fabrics

February 25: Coach Finally Opens In The UK

February 25: Coach Finally Opens In The UK

American accessories brand Coach is finally coming to the UK. It was announced last year, but now there is an opening date, so come February 25, Coach will be opening their debut UK store and I can’t wait. Every time I have been to the states I have lusted over Coach, I remember when I was shopping in Macy’s they had a huge area that it was hard to choose which bag to purchase, so I am pretty excited that London is finally getting its own store. To celebrate their expansion to Blighty, Coach are launching an exclusive Westfield bag,

  • Been having a tea and gin party in the garden enjoying the sunshine today and it was such a lovely end to a very busy week.
...
This has been one of the funnest shoots in a while and I can't wait to reveal my garden party set up - I've got some new cushions, the prettiest crockery and I'm so happy with how my DIY pallet table came out.
...
Did you get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine?
  • Think I might need this cute @asos skirt in every colour - loved the yellow one and couldn't resist the blue one, question is do I need to add the khaki one?
...
There's something about the button detailing and the pockets, plus the great price only £20 and it is so comfortable even in this gorgeous heat.
...
I might as well warn you all now this might become a repeat offender on my feed I love it. Also, anyone else obsessed with buttons lately? I can't get enough.
...
Wanna shop this skirt in all three colours? Follow me on the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot this pic. http://liketk.it/2vrfv #liketkit #asseenonme
  • First up can we please give some love to my mum for this fab picture - isn't it great how do I fire the Insta-husband?
...
Also, hands up who's had a lovely sunny day? Mum and I have had a fab one filled with culture two exhibitions including the new Monet one at The National Gallery that I would definitely recommend and yummy food I treated her to the fabulousness of By Chloe and she loved it - I'm an addict for their guac burger.
...
Then after all that fun we enjoyed the evening sunshine with Falcon on his favourite walk - now off for more food - I can't remember when I've had a better hump day!
  • Spent the day running between press days, check out my stories for a sneak peek at what Boden has coming up for AW18, doing boring errands, trying to transcribe a really difficult interview the designer has a strong accent, and a crazy stack of admin that I sadly can no longer ignore. But hey at least we had sunshine!
...
So kisses with this cutie when I came home was much needed.
...
Hope you guys had a great day in the sun.
  • Anyone checked the weather like ten times in disbelieve that we actually have sunshine and its only going to get better - like 26 on Thursday in April is amazing and I'm so ready for a little warmth after that never-ending winter.
...
Also, sunshine means I get to wear all my favourite sunglasses - I love how fun these Swatch beauties are.
...
How are you enjoying this gorgeous weather?
  • With this gorgeous spring weather we are enjoying it is only right to embrace it - so for our Sunday afternoon I wore my new bright yellow skirt.
...
Not dog walking friendly - Falcon did try to put his muddy paws over me, but I'm kind of addicted to yellow. There's something about wearing sunshine tones that just makes everything better and this is a beauty of a skirt from @asos I'm loving the button details.
...
Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app - you can also follow me on the app as well for all my looks just search for 'Fashionista Barbie'. http://liketk.it/2vnU3
  • Weekends are for treats right? Headed to our favourite burger joint in Rye for lunch @hoof_rye - this place not only does great burgers, sweet potato fries and onion rings but also a monster freakshake that each time I'm too stuffed to try.
...
Afterwards we wandered around Rye, it never gets old I love this town, looked in a few antique shops in the hope that something dreamy would be there, sadly nothing really spoke to me.
...
Then we headed home for a lovely countryside walk with Falcon and saw lots of cutie lambs - not going to lie I could get used to this gorgeous sunshine.
...
How's your Saturday going?
  • Today was a good Friday. I got to interview @rails founder @thejeffabrams who was super lovely and it was inspirational to hear how he launched his successful global brand. I also fell hard for his great shirts and the very Instagramable customised denim jacket, see my Instastories to see what I mean. I've already been on the Rails website and they have a picture of it with Danielle on the back - means it's fate right?
...
Then I got to hangout with the @fashercise girls at their new shop and see their fab collection - you have to see their new trainers so dreamy.
...
Then for date night with the hubbie we went for a long dog walk - yeah to lighter nights - and now I'm eating fish and chips. Seriously such a good day.
