I wore yet another new leather waistcoat the other day, I've realised it goes with everything I own and looks nice zipped up as well... I'm sure you'll see it worn many different ways within the weeks to come.

I'm having somewhat difficult converting to fall, this week it's been promised to be around 25 degrees here in london, which is really nice but (dare I say) somewhat boring..

Elves at Aminaka Wilmont

Preparations before the show, backstage at Aminaka Wilmont. The collection was inspired by Scandinavian changeling, where the signature jersey pieces were transformed in to a more structural, fairytale like collection.

the hair was done by Kenna and his creative ghd team. They started off by braiding the hair in sections.

whereafter the braids were straighted and comb through..

a straighted clip was added on the side, leaving the ears sticking out to enhance the whole fairytale like feel.

overall a beautiful collection complimented with a extraordinarily hair, wouldn't you agree?
a huge thank you to ghd for taking me backstage.

For a day at LFW I wore my new zara coat over a thick suba jumper in the hopes of fighting off this cold.. I added a beautiful helmut lang skirt, that I sadly managed to rip within the first hours of the day. I should not act that surprised as I went with pairing a delicate jersey piece, that I am way too short for, with a spiky boots...

for a bag I wore the originally black clutch, that after the paint job from last fall looks better everyday. I've used it as a computer case ever since to get that perfect distressed finish.
