Matthew Williamson Fall 2011: LONDON Fashion Week

Boho Chic 2.0

Matthew Williamson moves further and further away from that dreamy, flowing look–the look that made him king of the boho chic set.
like last season’s, was an updated idea of boho, with jewel-plated collars and wild fur coats
It was also very, very trendy–pretty much every trend we saw at the New York shows appeared on his catwalk, from red and pink to red and blue to plain ol’ red. There were also massive ombré furs nearly identical to those shown at Prabal gurung, only Prabal’s were pink and red, not olive.

Sunday Randoms

Here we go, my "I'm wearing nothing of interest so have some random photos" post! I hope everyone is having a great weekend,
those of you at LFW...I hope your not too exhausted! I'll confess, I've barely looked at the collections online, fashion week seems to pass me by in a haze, it's too soon to think about A/W when I barely know what I want to be wearing tomorrow, but Paul Costelloe has captured my heart!

This is my latest recipe book purchase, I've seen it mentioned on several foodie blogs I follow and although I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian I have an interest in elements of the vegan lifestyle, especially baking and I can't wait to give it a go! Next purchase will be the cupcake version.



Popped in to see my grandparents yesterday and was greeted with "We're glad your here, we have a present for you" and they proceeded to present me with this cushion. Good taste for older folk don't you think?





Snack of the week! I purchased this on Monday after meeting B and pursuing M&S for something for dinner. I bought a multipack but wish I had thought to get more. I'm going back...there were other flavours too. I LOVE popcorn. Randomly we found a popcorn maker in one of our kitchen cupboards, so I will experiments with creating my own combinations.





And finally, a couple of postsecrets that caught my eye this week. I might try the first one!

(and because I'm an idiot and forget things, my giveaway is actually open for another week! We won't talk about the state of my memory!)

Just a really quick post to say I am home! Home home home, for good. It's so surreal and I now face the daunting task of unpacking...my tights took up a bag of their own!

Give me a few days to settle and I'll be a regular fixture on the blogging circuit once more.
