Milan Fashion Week Day 2

The Highlights.....

Today's look was a mix of texture and shades of black....

Denim top by Marques Almeida

Leather jacket by All Saints

Skirt by Jil Sander

Boots by Maison Martin Margiela

Bag by Fendi

Moschino have taken up the trend of a new designer/ creative director and brought in the fabulous Jeremy Scott who sent models down the catwalk referencing MacDonalds and Spongebob Square Pants

If red and yellow are not your colours maybe try the accessories!

We all got these crazy phone covers.... How many will you see on Instagram!

Chocolate bar invite comes to life in for of a dress fit for the oscars....if you are brave enough!

Fendi was the first show of the day and sent Cara delevigne down the runway carrying a miniature stuffed Karl Lagerfeld...he always funds fun in himself and fashion

In the navy... I love the sporty look but all navy keeps it cool and wearable

The show we have all been waiting for was Prada who caged us into a metal box and played us live classical music whilst e girls wander round in sheepskin coats that I want in every colour!

Lunch today was Pizza....carb overload in the middle of he day but what the hell it's Italy! Head to Paper Moon for amazing Italian cooking if you ever come to Milan

Maxmara is a staple brand that always delivers! They had. Great take on the puffs and layered them over coats and also went for the moss green effect but a gold cowboy boot finished every look and I think I want a pair too!

Milan Fashion Week, Day 1

The Highlights.....

Today I arrived in Milan for the third leg of fashion week. it's pissing it down here but meant to be sunny tomorrow lets hope as in need of some good weather!

Having to go straight from the plane to the first show I decided to keep my jeans and jumper on its a day of flats to the old Celine trainers came out and a good coat was all that mattered today! I have also trialled my new Fendi bag (I do love their bags!) black and silver the perfect combo

Coat by Christian Dior (vintage)

Jeans by Levis

Shoes by Celine

Bag by Fendi

I am noticing a lot of white everywhere.....

my mini Loewe bag (it actually is the size of my hand and not great as doesn't even fit my mobile but it's so cute!)

Love a retro painting

This new jewellery designer I spotted at the Vogue talent night here in Milan Lliy Kamper is stocked at Liberty and these pendants are around £150 upwards

white show invites

Top tip, the Birkenstock should be your shoe of choice for summer but if they are too ugly for you try these studde ones to add a bit of rock n roll to this ugly shoe trend happening right now.
Birkies by Giambatista Valli at Matches

It's all retro and sixties at Gucci today

To add to the retro vibe these guys who form the brand Finlay & Co are 5 guys who have never worked in fashion before but decided to form a brand making wooden sunglasses that get more expensive the better the wood lightweight and in loads of cool natural colours get yours now!

Best show ticket so far has to be the Willy Wonka style chocolate bar, unwrap to see if you have a shit seat or not!

The day is finished off with my first ever Prada bag gift feels like it's he 80's again with a gift like this! It's the new Double bag and I feel very spoilt/ lucky/ grateful (all of the above!)

Then my favourite show if the day and a brand I have been a big fan of for a while now...No.21

If you like sparkle this is how you would want to wear it without feeling to pretty or girly!

Girly grunge.....

Here are my favourite looks

The river view as the sun breaks through

My fav brand Marques Almeida if you do t know it get to know it stocked and Opening Ceremony and Matches, known for denim but this collection include great velvet and furry pieces. My personal collections getting bigger and this is what I want next season....

Simone Rocha is the other huge talent for London and the stand out looks for me are below, again lots of furry bits and loved the checks, she does the modern punk whether you like girly or boyish take your pick

Fashion East is all about emgering talent and these two stood out to me

Helen Lawrence

Inspired by menswear too I love her take on knitwear in particular

Ashley Williams

Dallas cowgirl, over the top great prints and slogans it's a bit of fun for your wardrobe

Another slick and minimal brand Barbara Casasola this white all in one was a key look for me and something easy and simple giving the all in one a more refined make over

I am now half way through the shows so join me for the gird week in Milano.....see you there!
