LFW; Catwalk Collections.

London Fashion Week has been and gone in a manic blur of colour and print, and whilst the outfits were certainly a highlight, the grand unveiling of S/S14 collections were the reason for the flocking fashionistas to London's Somerset House. From sophisticated and stylish to cute and quirky, here's some looks from my favourite catwalk collections, and my new season fashion forecast fresh off the catwalks.

For the past couple of seasons pink has been HUGE and that isn't about to change just yet. When I say it's everywhere... I mean everywhere. Keep tight hold of all your candy coloured goodies 'cause you'll be needing them when the sun comes back!

Graphic prints seem to be a big thing this coming season, the zanier the better. Florals are an obvious choice for the summer months but make yours big this coming season. Plaid prints showed up on the catwalks but the trend is definitely diffusing after the A/W frenzy, though don't throw them away just yet... who knows what next winter will bring?

Oranges and yellows are set to be massive too, any shade and as bright as you like it! Blue hues are also going to be sticking around for just a tad longer.

As for the mediums... leather has finally departed the main stage giving way to flowing fabrics such as chiffon, lace and silk organza. 

Sadly we will all have to wave goodbye to our fur coats until next year but don't fear, lightweight bombers and the ever trusted blazer will save you from those late night summer chills.

Flats are massive on the catwalks at the moment and I personally was elated to spot models strutting in their jelly sandals... yay!

I LOVE MY COAT!

I celebrated my 21st birthday last Thursday and to celebrate my boyfriend treated me to a weekend away in Edinburgh. It's the first time I'v ever visited Scotland (not including T in the Park festival), and I was shocked by how beautiful the whole city was! The sheer amount of green country space is staggering and the History of the city was amazing. We found the coolest vintage store called Armstrong's Emporium and my man treated me to my coat. It's by far my favourite item of clothing. The fur is so incredibly soft considering it's circa 1950. I've been looking for a nice fur coat for ages now but this one definitely excels all my expectations. Its breathtaking. I recommend every person on this planet travels to Scotland, simply to experience Armstrong's, honestly, its amazing.

The skirt is also new and its so cute! I love the colour which is the palest of pinks, almost beige, which is huge this season. I can definitely see it becoming a wardrobe staple. It was a little pricey but the fit is wonderful, I think it was worth it.

I mentioned in my previous post the new found obsession I have developed with head scarves. It's beginning to get out of control...

This top was a present from my boyfriends Grandma when we visited the family down south last week, and I adore it. It's so well made and absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful. When you look at it closely there's a million and one tiny details that have gone into it to form all the different textures, it really is stunning. When I purchase a decent camera I will have to upload a close up. I fell in love with it straight away when I saw it. It was bought from a small boutique (I forget the name...) in Chichester town centre, which sold the most amazing designer gear. I can't wait to get myself back there soon, hopefully with a fistful of cash next time!

I'v had these leggings years and I'v worn them so much, they are beyond comfy! I keep waiting for the day that they'll go out of fashion and be sent to the back of my wardrobe but it just won't come! I'm chuffed to say the least... They are the perfect pant for next season too, velvet fits right in with the luxe gothic trend and the rebellious take on style that will be huge for AW13. Definitely a wardrobe staple!
