London- 2





The hangers on the wall on Carnaby Street reminded me of my balloon shoot  i did for the La Baloon Rouge


The Peter Pilotto dress I loooove!

On our second day in London we went fabric shopping near Shepard's bush and we found that it was much cheaper than if we went to Soho. I got a few samples for my garment and I cam across the fabric crepe which I really like, as its good for draping but yet its still strong. From there we headed down to Soho stopping off at Carnaby Street and Liberty, I love Carnaby street as I think its just a little bit different compared to Oxford Street and Regent Street. In Liberty's we spotted Mark from Take That which meant I had to text my Mum straight away as he's her favourite haha! Also I came across lots of things I would love to own like that Peter Pilotto dress that I blogged about a few weeks ago, its even more beautiful in real life!!! I also liked seeing the Martin Mirgella collection in person as I found it really inspiring for my own work because of the way its constructed. 

After that full packed day we had some spare time were we just went for food and walked around the shops a little bit. Then we had the J.W.Anderson X Topshop Collection preview at the Oxford Street flagship store, It was really good to experience! We basically got to buy the collection the night before it went on sale to everyone else. Yes that meant I had to treat myself to my favourite pieces but in all honesty I liked most of the collection and I think its very wearable and on trend. I treated my self to a black pinafore and check shirt which I have lived in since I bought! We even got little goody bags which had some Topshop nail varnishes in which are cute and on trend. There were drinks and biscuits floating around as well with some good music playing which really set mood and got everyone hyped for the new collection. I had a good night and really enjoyed myself so thank you Grasiza for the opportunity!
