Fashion Week Essentials

I know every blogger is doing these posts at the moment but I find them really useful, especially for new bloggers like myself that have not attended many fashion shows.  So I've done my research and rounded up the essentials that I'll be taking to London Fashion Week when it kicks off this weekend.


Camera

Well duh.  You can't do fashion week without taking 100s of photos (and selfies) of all the amazing outfits you're going to see.  You don't even have to have a super duper camera, in fact, I think I'll only be taking my iPhone as the quality is really good and I won't have to lug my heavy DSLR around with me then.  I usually only take my iPhone to events but I'm thinking of investing in a smaller compact DSLR like the Olympus Pen.

Notepad and Pen

Whenever I've attended a fashion show I know I'm always going to blog about it afterwards so it's a good idea to take down notes when the curator is speaking about latest trends and designers etc.  They usually always have industry talks too with different designers and bloggers which are always useful to get tips from.

Flat Shoes

I love wearing my heels to fashion week but sometimes there can be a lot of running about which kills my feet and slows me down!  So if you can fit a pair of flats in your bag or some of those fold up shoes, great, if not, grin and bear it!

Makeup and Hair Ties

I usually just pack mascara, lipstick, a compact mirror, one hair tie and a few hair grips.

Umbrella and Sunglasses

You never know what the weather's going to be like in London and more than likely it will be raining so the last thing you want is to turn up looking like a drowned rat so try to squeeze a little brolly in if you can.

Snacks

You can say what you want about models/bloggers not eating but quite frankly if I'm running about and watching back to back shows then I will need to eat at some point.  Mostly there will be food places you can grab something or a drink but if you don't have time I like to pack a cereal bar or something a like.

I've got 3 days to attend this year and I'm super excited but have no clue what to wear yet.  Be sure to follow along on Instagram and Twitter for updates @wonky_lauren  Are you attending LFW, what are your essentials?

My Favourite Looks From Fashion Week

Last month was 'Fashion Month' with showcases and catwalks taking place each week in different locations across London, New York, Paris and Milan.  Although I have been attending London Fashion Week for several years now, this time around I was in California and unfortunately could not attend any shows. However, that did not stop me from catching up once I was back from my trip to check out all the latest trends.  I was also browsing the   Esprit website   and noticed they had some awesome pieces just like the trends seen on the runway last month. Here are some of my favourites that I think are going to be hot this season and where you can copy the looks for less! Floral prints at Gucci.  You can shop the look for less here . All black at Marc Jacobs.  Shop the look for less here . Bows at Chloe.  Shop the look for less here . Sparkles at Alexander McQueen.  Shop the look for less here . Not only does   Esprit   do runway trends for

New Year, New You

As with every New Year, we make resolutions (you can see mine in my last post) but I think for most of us it's about becoming a newer and better person than we were last year.  I've come up with a few ways we can make little changes to become a newer and better you. New Hair I've said in many of my posts how much I like to change my hair and you can read about my hair dying experience here and my hair extensions experience here .  However, it needn't be a drastic change, just a little trim and some subtle highlights .  Whenever I change my hair I always feel like a new woman! New Wardrobe The New Year is probably the best time to invest in some new clothes because there are so many sales on.  You don't even have to spend a lot of money, I love affordable brands such as Esprit which do really on trend pieces at high street prices.  With a new wardrobe you will not only feel better but look better too!

How to Wear a Pink Lip

Wearing a pink lip can sometimes be quite hard, especially if it's a rather bright and vibrant shade but I think it looks so lovely for this time of the year. My favourite shade of pink is Impassioned by MAC .  It's very bright and has such a creamy texture that it glides on really well and stays put for quite a few hours.  I find I never have to wear a lip liner with this one either. When wearing a pink lip I think it's important to get the rest of your make up right so that you don't look washed up and colours don't clash. So starting off with the skin I would get myself nice and tanned.  My favourite tanners at the moment are the Superdrug Solait tan in dark and also Tan Truth which you can get from Sally's Salon Services.  Where I have just come back from Ibiza I have still got a bit of a tan so every few days I use the St Tropez Everyday gradual tanner and this helps top up my tan slightly. Then you've got to get the make-up right so
