>> I think you might have figured it out; I really just like saying pseudo-ghetto phrases like "Holler Y'all" in my head hence why I've titled this post thus for the third time running. Of course, should I even attempt to say something like that in reality, I'd be given the icy stare of disdain, bemusement and worse of all, pity. So I'll keep my ghetto vernacular tendancies to the blog, ta very muchy.
So London Fashion Week is over and whilst I gave up the chance to go and blog blog bloggy at D&G, Dolce & Gabanna along with the likes of Bryanboy and Tommy Ton I'm supremely glad to be sitting at an actual desk, geeking out, eating Pret sandwiches and err... talking about stuff other than fashion.
So here's to the last of the filler for a while until Paris which is... uh-oh... only next Wednesday... doh!
This outfit actually needs further clarification and investigation because I was lucky enough to preview the HUB collections that ASOS have worked on. At the moment they have capsule collections by the likes of Louise Amstrup, Ligia Dias, Florian, Ostwald Helgason and Poltock & Walsh but there's much more to come throughout October-November. Here I'm wearing the Natascha Stolle for ASOS long tuxedo jacket and the leather bangled arm warmers (online beginning of November) and a Louise Gray for ASOS purple and green chiffon tasselled top (online mid October). I'm pretty much in love with every piece and whilst these pieces aren't for keeps, I'll be snapping them up closer to the time...

I bumped into the beautiful Saga of The Neverending Story whose photography keeps getting better and better (made her Dazed debut in the new October issue!) and she snapped me on film here... reminds me I need to take more film snaps when I get the time...

I wore this Luxirare jacket twice and without a doubt, it was the piece of clothing that got the most questions and because I'm rubbish at articulating speak about bloggers etc, my vague descriptions probably left people none the wiser. I kept saying "It's by a blogger called Luxirare..." and people kept saying "Luxi-what?". Thankfully I hadn't lost my spelling skills so I just spelt it out for them. I almost met the very mysterious Luxirare when I was out in New York but fate intervened and it seems like it's meant to be a web-only relationship. In any case, this anecdote is there to remind Luxirare of her amazingness and that the questions asked can only be postive encouragement for her to take her food/fashion ventures beyond her home.
