London Trip: Outfit Post

What with one thing and another I've been finding myself visiting London quite a lot at the moment and I'm not complaining with it being England's Capital of Fashion. In my most recent visit to London I went to the +The National Gallery  I was hoping to also go into the Tate but one day didn't really give me enough time to fully appreciate more than one gallery. I went mainly to gather inspiration for my Art & Design studies and unsurprisingly the gallery did give me some great ideas. I quite enjoyed the Michael Landy: Saints Alive exhibition which is currently running from the 23 May - 24 November this year.

However it wasn't the gallery alone which inspired me it was also London as a whole. Trafalgar Square is such a lovely place to visit and I went to see my favourite lion (pictured with me above). I love the classic architecture as it reminds me of similar designs you might see in St Marco's Square, Italy, something which in some parts of England, outside of the main parts of London, we unfortunately lack.

I also find the Underground an unusual yet inspiring place. There always seems to be someone playing acoustic music down there and the stereotypical 'London Underground' sign gives me a nostalgic sense of security (a bit like the red buses) which I don't think you can get anywhere else.

I've written 'Outfit post' in the title - this is because I thought I'd include what I wore whilst in London. Firstly is this amazing flowered t-shirt from South, which I really like because of the material which attaches the sleeves to the body giving a 'winged' effect. I paired it with some YesYes jeans along with my favourite earcuff and a few rings from Topshop, a River Island bag in red, a biker jacket from Miss Selfridge and my own DIY 'Stardust Walker' heels: instructions can be found here.

P.S. Sorry for the late post I've just started back at school and everything's a little hectic and for those of you that didn't already know +London Fashion Week has now started!
