So this is where I reveal the extent of my nerdyness - I went to see the first showing of 'The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies' last night at midnight and I have to say it was awesome. All the other midnight showings I have been too, have been really quiet, but this one was packed of Hobbit enthusiasts, but sadly no one dressed as an elf, or orc. So if you do plan on going to see it, I recommend booking in advance.
Anyway to the fashion stuff. This outfit was worn a few weeks ago, whilst the leaves we still clinging onto the trees, as unexplicably as Callum Best clings onto a career. I love simple street style looks, so my Percy Cute 'Flutterby' tee got another outing, teamed with my trust faux leather trews from H&M. As the weather was colder than a witches teat, the faux fur beauty from Next was needed to stop me from complaining all day long.
Is everyone all ready for Christmas? I look at the massive pile of wrapping I have to do, and it makes me want to cry!
Well I am back to the blog after taking a little over a week off following the death of my Grandad; if I had continued my heart would not have been in it and I didn't want to churn out some rubbish because I felt I had to. His funeral was yesterday and it was really touching to see that he meant so much to so many people.
So now that I am back, I couldn't think of a better place to start than with my high street favourite, H&M. This week the Swedish brand had an amazing catwalk show to show off their Autumn/Winter 2014 studio collection, which attracted the attention of many a celebrity beauty, with the likes of Jessica Alba, Miranda Kerr and Solange Knowles, sitting in the front row. Those of us not lucky enough to get an invite could watch the show anyway, via a live stream thanks to the miracle of the internet.
The show at Paris Fashion Week, held inside the gorgeous Grand Palais, was an absolute triumph, with each piece being as desirable as the last. H&M's head of design, Ann-Sofie Johannson explained the collection: “We
had a lot of different influences when we started. We though about
something sporty, something a bit more rock and roll, something
bohemian. In the end it came back to how does a girl want to dress for
the coming season, what does she want to have? We looked at early Kate
Moss from the 90’s, we had Charlotte Gainsbourg there. She always had
that little bit of a tomboy feel. We also thought about club girls
running to and from the club in their little slip dresses with a heavy
coat or top.”
I just can't wait for Winter to come around once again, check out some of my favourite looks.
If you want to see the whole collection, you can watch the video below...it is worth it.
What is your favourite piece from the collection? And make sure you tell all your loved ones you love them this weekend, you certainly wont regret that.
