London Fashion Weekend



London fashion weekend didn't let me down. Being a LFWEnd virgin I expected big things from the day ahead, and I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed every moment, from having my ticket ripped at the entrance of Somerset House, to picking up my tote bag full of goodies, lusting over designer clothes- too expensive for my student budget, and of course the trend fashion show hosted by the super cute Angela Scanlon (who is, thankfully, very pale, much like the rest of us Brits.)
The must-have photo in front of the mirrored wall of fabulous-ness was the first thing to do and whilst posing with my girl friend, we both became temporary photographers, snapping other friendship groups posing in their most fashionable outfit for the most fashionable weekend.
Roaming the hallways of Somerset House and taking in the beautiful surroundings- like the staircase I had to pose on- you came across so many pop-up boutiques full of people admiring pieces from brilliant designers including Blonde + Ginger, Almost Famous and Cheap Mondays, but to name a few.  
Even though purchasing just a scarf would have made my student bank account screech, I did snap up a beautiful ruby coloured ring from My Flash Trash. Another purchase I couldn't resist was a new beauty drink. Refreshing, tasty and with the added ingredient collagen, I'll hopefully look like Rosie Huntington Whitley after a few more bottles. 
The 360 Canon booth was one of many highlights, it was so much fun to jump around in a booth full of cameras and to have a 360 still photograph appear of me and my friend. Brilliant. Find the short video on my Instagram page- instagram.com/_amybruce 

The fashion show was bought to life by host Miss Scanlon and the models looked fresh and fierce. 4 trends- pretty in pink, back to nature, shape up and my personal favourite victorian graced the catwalk inspiring everyone in the room. Fluffy pink bobble hats, bold prints, lace and leather, all autumn/winter wardrobe staples. 

My feet ached when 5 o'clock came around and it was time to catch the train home and grab a cinnamon hot chocolate, but what a fab fashion day out.
Next stop- London Fashion Week.

Hi there,
Welcome to Talk the Talk. I'm very excited to finally start a blog talking about my adventures and inspirations on my journey through university and hopefully (eventually), landing a fashion related career.

This being my third attempt to get my blog right for me, I'm so determined to keep sharing my thoughts, ideas and style. 

My latest visit to London Fashion Weekend at Somerset house was the perfect first blog idea to get me rocking and rolling with Talk the Talk...
