Paris Fashion Week, Day 1

The Highlights

Firstly the day started sharing a train with VB and when exiting never realised who I was walking next to until the camera flashes went mad and saw her to my left...good start to fashion week celeb spots!

 

 

Stella always comes up with an inventive invite for her show this season the the double google eyed ring but love the nail art more

 

A personalised note from Ricardo Tisci for my shot of Naomi Watts in the October issue of InStyle wearing Givenchy, nice touch

 

 

The Dior show sets are becoming an exciting experience each season and this was jaw dropping lay beautiful with a frame filled with tropical flowers and orchids the colours were insane and sure to be copied at a billionaires function in the near future

 

 

 

 

Nicholas Kirkwood for Pollini men's brogues but wish they were in unisex sizes!

 

 

Today's look was recycled from Milan I love this coat and investi in a statement coat in a great pastel colour would be perfect for anyone this winter plus the colour palette brings you ahead of the game for next season too just add jeans and a metallic heel

Milan Fashion Week, Day 5

The Highlights

Today I have continued my landmark runs around the world and run around the centre of Milan taking in the sits such as The Duomo below. Getting up early for sport is a new experience for me but there is something quite magical about running in a city like this past buildings as amazing as this when no one else is around! Although I don't think I will ever be one of those people to exercise at the beginning of the day this was definitely worth getting out of bed for!

This nun inspired look means adding a white high neck top under a black sweatshirt and add a metallic heel to soften the look the leather board shorts are on trend for next summer so keep your eyes peeled any fabric will do

Then the most modern update and a great way to update old wardrobe staples is wet hair fresh from my run and no time to dry it add mousse to keep texture and hold

Flower Power...envy thing has gone floral for next summer from invites, clothes and even rose tea at Marni

Milan Fashion Week, Day 3

The Highlights

Today I started my day with the Nike fashion week concierge service and met them and Penny from Gentlewoman (also doing the marathon with me) for a 45 min run around Milan. Another chance to explore the city by foot but up for sunrise it was worth it with an early night before. The smoking and drinking over the show season has definitely put me back but as I can't say no at least I can say am still running ( or trying to at least! ). Anyway it was the first time I have ever set my alarm to do exercise but always try everything once I say!

This is the third time have worn this top over fashion week and it has become my staple piece that can be worn with everything. White is a blank canvas so look for graphic shapes and cuts to keep the top half fresh and modern and this time have worn with a loose wide leg trouser in a pastel shade and toughened it up with my black Margiela boots

Top JW Anderson

Trousers by Full Circle

Sunglasses by Prism

The Prada show became the talk of Milan inspired by artists including the graffiti artist Stinkfish the collection was a sporty mix of art and fashion....who will be heading down to JJB sports to cut off a pair of hockey socks and customise them for next season?!

The crowds outside Armani show today it gets crazier every season
