<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't owned a pair of Vans since I was about 10 years old, mainly because they are skate shoes and I have not set foot on a skateboard since then. However, I was more than happy to make the exception when Lucy from Access All ASOS invited me to the launch of the Vans X Eley Kishimoto collection. It's my boyfriends fault I missed an amazing party, (badly timed birthday) I got some new shoes though!! How cool are these?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Eley Kishimoto, created by Mike Eley and Wakako Kishimoto lent some of their archive designs to this collaboration and created a new print inspired by the Vans waffle sole. I bloody love a good print and these are amazing. I think I may need to buy the flash print slip ons, and the matching bag, I'm obsessed. Also, if you get a chance check out the Eley Kishimoto site <a href="http://www.eleykishimoto.com/">HERE,</a> they have the dreamiest printed wallpapers, grown up house goals right there. Here's a few more snaps of the collection and party, go and check it out on ASOS <a href="http://www.asos.com/search/eley-kishimoto?q=eley+kishimoto">HERE.</a></span><br />

*R Kelly voice* Now usually I don't do this but uh... Not everyday outfit posts, I've decided to incorporate a little beauty into my blog. So I am really into makeup - I wouldn't dream of visiting Tescos without my eyebrows coloured in, yes I'm one of those sad sad people. I'm the kind of person who could happily spend an HOUR contouring my face, my boyfriend doesn't get it at all he says 'why do you want to make your face more 3D??'. Anyway, I thought I'd share a few of my faves with you so here goes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Thank you Debenhams for bringing Make Up Forever into my life, this foundation keeps me more shine free than any other I have ever tried. I've got the oiliest T zone you can imagine and somehow a combination of this and Macs blot powder keeps me matte all day! I definitely recommend using a primer with this product though as it can be quite drying.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> This is the holy grail. Everyone raves about it for good reason and lets be real by the time you've spent £8.50 or whatever on the Sleek eyebrow palette you may as well have spent £15 on this. The tiniest bit goes a long way, applied with a Mac 208 brow brush expect fleekiness. I would never got anywhere sans eyebrows apart from the gym, and now I don't even have to take them off for a workout. This shit stays on! </i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>I love a good bronzer, I can't be bothered to contour everyday, sometimes my totally flat face needs a little somethin' somethin'. This is not too shiny which I like, looks so natural on, not powdery at all and very buildable. Also, a massive bonus is that this is waterproof!</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Thank you Benefit for consistently making the best mascaras - this one is even better than 'They're Real' in my opinion.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>I am not that experienced with good primers, only godawful ones like that Lancome slippy monstrosity. However, I this body shop primer. At £12 I think it's pretty good for a primer and the tube is big. I bought this before Christmas and I'm only about halfway though! This makes my foundation look so smooth I'd rather not put anything on my face without this.</i></div>

<i>Apparently this is a dupe for NARS Orgasm, personally I would never spend £23 on a blush but I'm quite happy to spend £4.49. This is gorgeous, so summery and shiny but also somehow a very subtle colour on my skin tone. LOVE IT!</i></div>

Long time no see? Every post I'm trying to explain my absence! To summarise,a combination of ugly days/bad hair days/being hungover and just living life have made me the laziest of bloggers. A change of lifestyle was needed and so far so good! You never know, you might even see a recipe for gluten free banana bread on here sometime soon :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, just going to dive straight back in.
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the city of Paris with a few of my friends you may know - Jen of Jen Electro, Sophie Emmet (stylist) and Gary of The Plastic Boy. We did the typical touristy shit (observe me at the Louvre avec bumbag)which was cool, but oh my god is the Paris nightlife amazing! If you are ever in the neighbourhood go to Silencio for a good night. You'll feel robbed by the price of a G&T - 24 euros! But it's worth it, music was on fleek (think everything from Tupac to Zebra Katz) as was the decor and beautiful people (Ian Somerhalder was in attendance). We also spent Sunday at the Afropunk festival which was awesome even though it was indoors (don't even ask me why a festival was indoors). Highlights included seeing Lion Babe, Lianna La Havas and Willow and Jaden Smith, who is definitely a better rapper than his dad!<br />
<br />
Anyway got a very eventful summer ahead, which of course I will be blogging about. Two festivals - Glastonbury and Shambala and also going on a massive vaycay to explore Sri Lanka for two weeks in September so stay tuned :)<br />
<br />
Any of you guys going to Glasto let me know!<br />

<br/><br/>
So last week me and Rob were invited to have dinner & cocktails at Turtle Bay in Walthamstow.
Note I said Walthamstow, I live in <b>STREATHAM </b>the other end of London literally, and I will be going back because it was that damn good, worth an hours journey any day.<br />
Turtle bay does amazing Caribbean food, all the traditional yummy bits like Jerk chicken, fried plantain and patties but with some amazing extra special eats. We started off with a few cocktails please for the love of god if you like banana get the Hummingbird - white rum, Tia Maria, banana liqueur, cream, fresh banana & coconut. The jerk wings were a must to start, hotter than hell and too good, the chili squid got a big thumbs up from us too. The main event, I am still raving about, and is the reason we'll be going back very soon was the double dipped jerk steak. It was sex on a plate, rare - and Rob kept on nicking bits of mine even though he had the tastiest jerk lamb I've ever eaten. Safe to say after cocktails and my weight in wings and steak, we didn't make it to dessert. Big thanks to Kitty who looked after us for the evening, you were such a babe!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks Turtle Bay we'll be back soon :)<br />
<br />
p.s <span style="text-align: start;">Apologies again for the i phone photos - my camera charger has gone walkabout and I'mw aiting for the new one to arrive *le sigh*</span><br />

Well this is awkward... it's 2015 and I haven't blogged for 7 months. What the hell? Full time employment at a lovely but time consuming job and my lack of appetite for blogging with a hangover at the weekend takes a toll.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I never thought I'd say this but I miss it!!! Rambling on about shit nobody cares about and posting pictures of me wearing the various bits and bobs from hideously extensive wardrobe/floordrobe makes me happy. I'm in a sharing frame of mind.<br />
<br />
Today was one of those days when I felt like I wanted to wear all the colours. I originally bought this vintage Tommy Hilfiger shirt for my boyfriend off Depop, but decided to keep it for myself...sorry Rob! And these trousers were £8 off Boohoo, they tried to Pantone match them at work and failed the colour is that magical!<br />
<br />
Also feel like I should explain the weird colour of my hair, it wasn't planned D: ! I got bored with blonde and decided I was going to dye my hair purple last night, violet to be exact. I wasted £4 on Crazy Colours Violette, and unless I'm colour blind my hair is definitely <b>BLUE! </b>My poor hair :( I'm going to be spending the next week frantically trying to fade it out, trust me having a weave is so much less stress than looking after my actual hair! If anyone has any tips for getting blue out of hair help a sista out?<br />
<br />
I've got a bunch of ideas for posts I'm going to definitely do..and I actually mean it this time. I've embarked on a journey to get <strike>fit and healthy</strike> , lets be real skinnier so maybe I'll blog about my progress (if there is any, fingers crossed). Anyway watch this space.<br />

Hello my lovelies! Hope you had a marvelous weekend, thank god I managed to get through it with minimal sunburn (yep I always manage it) and not a hangover in sight.<br />
<br />
I wore this last week to the Schuh house party I went to with Jen & Beth. It was <b>AMAZING! </b>The best possible end to a 3 day juice cleanse - vodka, bubbly and Macaroni cheese galore. Surprisingly, I didn't spill anything on my new white jacket. I saw this coat at the Primark SS14 press day and I have been on the lookout ever since, by that I mean I asked jen every day if she'd seen it in store yet. Also, I'm really happy I wore this shirt, I bought it a couple of years ago in a charity shop and haven't really worn it much and I think it looks quite nice :D <b>YAAAAY!</b><br />
<br />
Going to keep this short and sweet, I'm bloody tired and it's about a million degrees in here, hot laptop on my legs is not great right now. I'm pretty sure I'll read this back in the morning and it's going to read a bit like a passage from Angus Thongs but hey ho.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be back soon :) </div>

How sunny and lovely has it been this weekend?? Despite my raging hangover me and Rob took a few steps out of our front door to go laze around on Streatham common, armed with tinnies & books. I wore my new favourite dress (which was only £14.99!!!!) and not much else he he! And big thanks to my friend Rachelle for hooking me up with the most amaaaaazing Anne Klein watch - <b>I LAVS IT!</b></div>

Thanks so much for the lovely comments on my last post and being so understanding even though I was having a bit of a rant :D . Really made me want to keep blogging, knowing people don't think my blog is shit makes me all warm and funny inside :) Also, I'm thinking I might do a Youtube haul video later because I want to share all the beautiful things I've bought lately with you - let me know if that's a shit boring idea? Anyway, going to keep this one short and sweet as I'm heading into central to go check out the Gumball 3000 supercars <b>WOOOO!</b></div>

This is going to be a quick one as today I have a hangover and to combat that I'm about to go spend the rest of the afternoon in a beer garden getting over it :) Recently, the uber talented legends at Cats Bros contacted me and asked me if I wanted one of their hand embroidered T shirts and of course I said hell yeah! A friend of mine Stacey, who works for them bought the label to my attention, and I love their vibe. Superstars such as Eazy E, Tupac and the Beastie boys have been lovingly illustrated and hand embroidered on the coolest T shirts in the world! And I've got to mention the sliders, at £16 you cannot get a pair of comfier shoes. I definitely prefer this type of shoe with a laid back look on me, I am a <b>NO CHIC ZONE! </b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone still reads this or really cares about my lack of commitment to this blog lately, who knows but I think I might keep going with it. I keep fannying around, wondering if I should continue with this blogging malarky. Things have changed with my life, and with blogging. And god knows how I've ranted about the blogging world in the past. It's slightly frustrating that those who get the most recognition are the ones who you would never see wearing that shit outside, really?? On the other hand I know I can't really complain because if that's what people like and want to see I can't argue with that. But, the main reason I think this all boils down to the fact my boyfriend grumbles <b>EVERY TIME</b> I ask him to take pictures of me. Yeah Rob it's all your fault :)</center>

Hello hello! Long time no see? I'm back with some summery goodness, a grown up job and a new hairstyle! I know I'm not the most regular of bloggers but something about Sunshine makes me want to wear pretty things and make my boyfriend take pictures of me in the middle of the road - so hopefully there'll be more to come.<br />
<br />

<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">You are now looking at the newest lingerie and accessories Allocator at Boux Avenue <b>WOOO!!! BALLIN'</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I've moved in with my lovely boyfriend of six years Rob and it's domestic bliss up in here</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I went a bit blonde, when I inevitably get bored of it I don't know if I'm going to dye it violet or pink <b>HELP?</b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I've embarked on a health & fitness journey (that sounds so wanky sorry) and have already lost 11lb - trust me I know I'm not looking like a skinny minnie now but progress is progress.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I have a new found<b> LOVE</b> of brown lipstick, so questionable but so good!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
At the slightest hint of sunshine I like loads of you I'm sure decide to wear less clothes as if it's 30 degrees out . I was very lucky this week, as I was perusing ASOS for a new bag, I was contacted by the lovely Lizzie from Pauls Boutique who let me pick out a bag. Green is forevs my fave colour and I can't really let myself have a big bag otherwise it becomes a sack of shit in no time, so I chose the Suki in Pistachio <a href="http://www.pauls-boutique.com/products/Suki-Ice-Cream-pistachio.html">HERE, </a>and it's perfect!<br />
I am also doubly, triply lucky to have had the lovely Maura, designer of the fantastical Lucky Little Blighters jewellery create this one off custom ring for me (see massive gold thing of beauty attached to my middle finger above). My first bit of proper grown up valuable jewellery and I'm loving it, go and check out more of Maura's beautiful designs <a href="http://luckylittleblighters.com/home/">HERE.</a><br />

White clothing shows<b> E V E R Y T H I N G</b>. At the moment it's difficult to figure out which part of my body I hate most - my tummy, my chin(S) or my boobs. At least I can change two of those things, boobs not so much. Since moving back home I've been trying to get on the health kick that everyone else on the planet seems to be on, I've been running, gyming and eating a lot less shit. I can't really see a difference yet, although this could be down to eating copious amounts of things that are supposedly good for me, elephants eat plants and they are still huge sooooo.....<br />

I'm coming to you straight outta bed with a nasty hangover wearing my Kigu feeling sorry for myself. I wore this delightful little number out last night to celebrate the birthday of one of my nearest and dearest, Aphra. Myself and a group of similarly wild ladies descended on Dalston Superstore last night to go to a night called 'Twat Boutique' and it was <b>SO GOOD! </b>I woke up this morning wondering why my legs were so sore, vaguely remembering a copious amount of slut-dropping going down last night (the Dakin sisters got crazy) and recalling fondly how no creepy guys were hitting on me but for a change it was nice girls ( not that I even noticed at the time). Anyway, I definitely recommend a visit to Dalston Superstore, the music was so on point - 90's house classics, Prince, Destiny's child, gay or straight you'll have a good time. </div>

Why is it so much easier to write a blog post than a cover letter? I'm taking a little break from the myriad of job applications I'm doing today to share with you my newest acquisition, <b>YES MORE SHOES! </b>The lovely ladies at FrontRowShop asked me to choose an item to style and after seeing these on Pretty Sickly on Instagram I knew I wanted these. I've been..shall we say keen (obsessed) with getting my hands on a pair of shoes that resemble the Stella McCartney 'Kristy' pumps for a very long time, and finally these perfect little beauties are mine<b> I A M I N L O V E ! </b><br />

I am delighted to tell you that the dream team that is ASOS + Puma have collaborated again to create another collection. This has to be my favorite offering from the online shopping and sportswear brands so far, combining my love for the 90s, prints, metallics and general comfort chic. Even though I don't have two pounds to rub together I am lusting over it all.. ugh! My pick of the collection has to be the split front maxi tee dress <b>NEED NEED NEED!</b> Head over to ASOS now to snap it up <a href="http://www.asos.com/women/A-To-Z-Of-Brands/Asos-X-Puma/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=18968&WT.ac=FL&r=2" target="_blank">HERE</a> now.<br />

Even though that shitty January feeling of Christmas being over and my bank account being empty I am still fantasizing about shoes far too much. I've been obsessing over the pink and white River Island platforms for about 3 weeks now, battling with my mind whether the are worth overdraft charges. Thanks god my common sense won out. </div>

Wassup guys :D ? I'm blogging from my boyfriends house with a well deserved San Miguel after a very wet day of last minute Christmas shopping in Bristol. We got everything we needed but my hair was RUINED to say the least - I'm sat here looking like Chaka Khan. A few weeks ago I went to the Motelrocks Christmas blogger party as Jens fabulous +1, as we were part of the first 30 to get in we got to select an item from the new collection we wanted and I chose this leopard print bad boy, RAAAH! Anyway, you absolutely can't got wrong with leopard print and red lippy (RiRi Woo) a la Kat Slater, the PVC is just the cherry on the top. </div>

I am so friggin excited for Chistmas! I've got all my presents wrapped and I've already shaken all the ones under the tree to me hehe :) I'm spending Christmas with my boyfriends fam this year for the first time ever in the five years we've been together, it sounds like a big deal in relationshipy terms but I don't really think it is. Means to an end, he's got to come brave the craziness that is my family at Christmas next time! I'll be posting tomorrow so keep an eye out, and if you get bored between now and then go check out my <a href="http://instagram.com/frizzledizzle" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/frizzledizzle" target="_blank">Twitter</a> :) both @Frizzledizzle</div>

Wassup wassup? Hey lovelies! So today I thought I'd attempt something slightly different, yes that is three date outfits you see up above. Not just any date outfits though, my babely friend Millie introduced me to what is possibly the coolest dating website ever - <a href="http://www.doingsomething.co.uk/">www.doingsomething.co.uk</a> . Forget dinner with some awkward creep you met on Zoosk, you could be going on a date to see the penguins (free trip to London Zoo is always a winner), rap karaoke, ping pong in Dalston - the list goes on. Basically, all you do is sign up, think of something you'd like to do, someone who wants to do it with you will come knocking. Or, if you are lazy like moi you can peruse what dates the dudes of London are offering. Putting together an outfit for a date is HARD WORK, so I chose 3 of the funnest dates from the site and picked out what I would wear. Hopefully these outfits are guy friendly ;P Lies!<b> IDGAF</b>!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go find a guy who's not a loser - <a href="https://www.doingsomething.co.uk/">https://www.doingsomething.co.uk/</a></div>

In the words of Eric B and Rakim - it's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you :0 So today I decided to bite the bullet, fuck the anxiety and get on with things and write a new post. I have been getting <b>BIZAY</b> trying to get myself a new job, I've just graduated so I kinda want to get off the shop floor and get into the office, plus I want to go to South America next winter for 6 months so I need to save up. Even Though I'm Skint has taken a backseat of late, which is ridiculous because I've had so much to write about- press days and events coming out my arse!<br />
<br />
In other news, if you follow me on Twitter you may remember way back in the summer (oh how I miss the summer) I went along to the CageCity headquarters with <a href="http://fashionrushhh.blogspot.co.uk/">Tiger</a>, <a href="http://www.lulutrixabelle.com/">Lucy</a>, <a href="http://bellsfashion.blogspot.co.uk/">Helena</a> and <a href="http://waiste.blogspot.co.uk/">Sara</a> for a day of boozing and dressing up. I LOVED the handmade designer pieces, one off bombers and matching knitted co-ords were amazing. Kelli McGuinness is a genius with knitwear check her out!!<br />

Wassup Wassup? On Tuesday when me and <a href="http://jenelectro.blogspot.co.uk/">Jen</a> wondered around London, popping into various press days to see what everyone had to offer for ss/14. We went all over the shop, but started at Louis Vuitton...<br />

Not going to lie it was a little intimidating going into the Louis Vuitton showroom but it was amaaaazing! The main room was all black and had a wall covered in mongolian sheepskin, I kid you not it was so fluffy - definitely had to resist having a 'Get Him to the Greek' moment stroking the furry wall. As you probably know, the SS14 Louis Vuitton show at Paris fashion week was the last of Marc Jacobs for the fashion house and it was so cool to see some pieces from the show in the flesh (or should I say fabric??). The things Marc did with denim in the collection - obscenely brilliant. My favorite piece from the showroom was the scarf with monogrammed LV planets, probably the only piece I could conceivably afford in the whole place D:<br />
<br />
We headed over to Daks which was pretty cool, I <b>LOVED</b> this trench made of thick leather, and the simple white shirt dress was to die for!<br />

The Paper collection was all about the neoprene, the laser cut pieces were amazing. My favourite piece was the red neoprene culottes which I unfortunately didn't get a picture of *doh*<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">I died when I saw Fyodor Golan, smiley faces, transparent trench coats, white snakeskin, pink snakeskin - cannot express how much I loved what I saw. I hate to say anything is perfect but it was perfect. If you get a chance check out the catwalk from London Fashion Week on his website - the yellow shorts suit *drools*.</span><br />

I'm sat on my sofa, watching The Face wishing Caroline picks Chloe to go home; she's <b>SO ANNOYING!</b> If Naomi tells you not to do a dramatic walk waving your arms in the air then you don't bloody do it. Goodness me. You can probably tel I'm far too into reality TV at the moment. X Factor has already begun to consume my weekends, even though it just makes me angry (I don't think Louis Walsh would know good singing if it kicked him in the face).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anywho..this weekend Jen sent me to the East End Thrift Shop £1 sale to get pieces for a shoot we are styling together tomorrow and I managed to buy not 1 but 2 shearling jackets for £1 each (I know right! Bargain!) I was going to go buy a winter jacket from Topshop and now I'm so glad I didn't. Out of the two shearling beauties I procured this weekend this one is my favorite, I've barely taken it off since I practically had to knock some girl out to grab it ha! Might I add that the fact that my legs are bare is completely cancelled out by the fact that I'm wearing half a sheep :) </div>

My autumn/winter essential will always be a oversized coat - F O R E V E R. You can't go wrong with a giant coat, they work especially well when you are wearing less clothes underneath. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sooo.. that's all from me today (I desperately need my beauty sleep). If you watch the face let me know who you think is the best/the shittest :D I love a good reality TV chat!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/60411220@N08/10142601693/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="_DSC0134_black and white by FRANKIE**Dakin, on Flickr"><img alt="_DSC0134_black and white" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5321/10142601693_8b9523f557_b.jpg" height="483" width="824" /></a></div>
<br />
The last day of LFW was grim and rainy (surprise surprise) but ended on a high. Me and <a href="http://jenelectro.blogspot.co.uk/">Jen</a> were fortunate<span style="font-family: inherit;"> enough to attend a Q&A with the editor in chief of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman - big thanks to <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">M&C Saatchi PR</span>. </span>We headed over to the Playboy Club where we were treated to canapes and cocktails by gorgeous Playboy bunnies. Very unexpected to have the editor of Vogue talking in the Playboy club, but I couldn't have chosen a better venue - it was awesome!<br />
<br />
I sat in awe for what seemed like ten minutes but was closer to an hour listening to the lovely Alexandra Shulman talk about fashion - everything from how London Fashion Week has evolved to the British High Street. Lets face it, My preconception of what Alexandra would be like couldn't have been further from the reality, not at all the cold scary dragon woman I was expecting (we've all seen the Devil Wears Prada), but a warm, relatable lady - not to mention incredibly chic wearing a Simone Rocha dress and Nicolas Kirkwood heels.<br />
<br />
Alexandra had a lot to say on the subject of London Fashion Week, how it has evolved from being somewhat of a mess into a world renowned fashion event with amazing designers such as choosing to showcase their collections here as opposed to New York or Paris. Of course, having only attended LFW the past two seasons I have no knowledge of what LFW used to be like - but the transformation she helped bring about to the event is definitely a success judging by what I have enjoyed!<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a pleasure listening to Alex - think we might be close enough for nicknames now ;) . I came away from the evening thinking about fashion in a different way, feeling like (or hoping) a little bit of her wisdom rubbed off on me.<br />

Helooooooooo! I'm finally flu free and feeling human again! If I had blogged during my down time rest assured the posts would have involved OOTDs featuring various dressing gowns and onesies, with a birds nest for hair, clutching a mug of Lemsip like my life depends on it - pretty sure this post is preferable. I am in luurve with my new H&M boots at the moment - £29.99 and they look really similar to the Vagabond Dioon boots, except in my opinion chunkier and in general just more awesome. Needless to say the men in my life (i.e Boyfriend and Dad) think they are hideous - in my eyes this can only be a good thing. I love dressing in a way that makes men go away hehe!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With my recovery I warn you will be coming a barrage of LFW posts starting tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'm going to blog regularly from now on, not just about 'look at what I'm wearing' either - going to be branching out to make it a bit more interesting. <b>WATCH THIS SPACE.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd also like to say a big thanks to Erica from IPR for the much needed super stretch jeans, the only jeans that fit my gigantic arse at the moment, and La Moda for sending me this schweet satchel today! Much appreciated !</div>

London Fashion Week ended last Tuesday, leaving me a nasty cold (I am dying) but also the memories of some pretty cool experiences. I've finally brought myself to go through the hundreds of photos and thought my first LFW post be a bit of a street style post. Friday the 13th didn't bode well for us at Somerset House - it rained so much and it continued throughout the weekend. Luckily, on the Monday the weather was pretty good and that's when I got most of these snaps. I forgot to take my camera for the first three days (worst blogger ever) so I had to make do with my dads i pad - more outfit posts from LFW to come soon.<br />
<br />
I managed to get photos of my two favorite outfits however, the first being this awesome Monki dress the lovely Erica let me pick out at the showroom just before fashion week. If you are crap at planning outfits like me you'll appreciate how much of a lifesaver this one was - only had to faff around for 15 minutes choosing what coat to wear over it haha! I also went to Monki to pick up some jeans and found these smiley face socks I included on a wishlist a while back, I was on a bit of a Monki hype that day and<b> I LOVED</b> it.<br />
<br />
The best bits of LFW were the ones I shared with blogger babes - It was nice to chill with everyone and catch up, the New Look Refuel room was the place to be again this season, champagne, manis and a photo-booth took the edge off the fact that it was pissing it down outside.<br />
<br />
<b>SO</b>, more to come, I went to some really good shows (<b>OMG KTZ</b>!!!!) and the most bloody amazing sick parties ever - expect to be reading about them soon!<br />

Oh my goodness I've been <b>SO BUSY</b> moving out of my flat over the past week, haven't had a chance to blog for a bit sorry guys :) I'm so glad to have finally moved out of my uni flat now, back to my dads where the fridge is always full - it's amazing. Aaanyway, the babeatron that is Suzan from Educate & Elevate sent me this lush B Ball jersey the other day. I usually only wear jerseys as pyjamas but thought this one was too nice not to wear outside- I bloody love it, <b>TA BABE! </b>Also, I think we all need to appreciate my awesome Nike roshe runs that the lovely<a href="http://www.glitzngrime.com/"> Sheree </a>from Glitz and Grime helped me procur. I really wasn't that jazzed about the roshe till I saw these on the Urban Outfitters website, pretty much fell in love and when I got them so did my feet, comfiest kicks eveeeeeeeer! So that's all from me today, this week is the calm before the storm that is London Fashion Week. Expect a bazillion LFW blog posts in the not too distant future, let me know if your going :D<br />

So yesterday I attended the GS Shop show with my girl <a href="http://jenelectro.blogspot.co.uk/">Jen</a> and this is what I wore :) If you follow me on Instagram ( @Frankiegd) you are probably sick of seeing this red kimono I got from Topshop a while back (I've got matching shorts to how cool is that!), it's my staple jacket a the moment whilst it's too hot for denim. For some reason outfit planning doesn't work for me and this is the result, I always end up throwing something on last minute - refer back to my LFW outfits last year haha! </div>

The GS Shop show, which I was lucky enough to attend thanks to Pop PR comprised the work of four Korean Central St Martins alumni designers. All four shows seemed to be A/W to me, a little confusing ( I'm hating A/W coming in the shops at the moment, still in summer mode) but I loved the coats and jackets - especially the mens ones from Xess Homme. I wasn't overly jazzed by anything in particular but I've included a few photos of my favorite looks from a couple of the designers. </div>

All in all I had a great time, and a hangover by 9pm thanks to the champers. This show got me <b>SO EXCITED</b> for London Fashion Week which is coming up very soon, I'm actually trying to plan shit this time - got some cool bits and pieces to wear and plenty of amazing shows to see. If any of you are going to be around this London Fashion Week let me know :) It would be great to meet up!</div>
