Ladies of the World

I absolutely love following the who's who of fashion throughout the fashion week circuit. My favourite is NY Fashion Week, but I love following the many visual diaries (aka Instagram feeds) of those amazing and incredibly fashionable humans who get to travel from country to country to view runway shows and immerse themselves in the wonderful world of fashion. 

I mainly follow bloggers such as Song of Style (Aimee Song), The Blonde Salad (Chiara Ferragni) and Shine By Three (Margaret Zhang) as well as many others, but then there's those whose lives and style I can only dream of having such as Olivia Palermo and Miroslava Duma. And who can forget the behind the scenes/inside scoop from magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and the street style snaps from Tommy Ton. Not to mention style.com covers pretty much anything and everything you want or need to know about Fashion Week. 

There's something magical about Fashion Week that makes me wish I could travel to an amazing city and lose myself in the aura of a fashion obsessed society, where women are fleetingly treated like princesses and extravagant, over the top dressing is not only encouraged but required because, naturally, the outfit is everything. One day I wish I could holiday in NY during this iconic week and feel what it's like to be a part of the buzz. That's probably as close to Fashion Week as I'll ever get but I can't imagine a more exciting and perfect time to visit my ultimate holiday destination. 

Meanwhile, here's some serious Fashion Week street style inspiration via Tommy Ton (style.com):

Leopard Love

I am a sucker for leopard print. Something about it always catches my attention. It's probably because it's one of the easiest prints to incorporate into an outfit. Leopard print can be added subtly or worn much more boldly. I prefer to wear it in more subtle ways but nevertheless there will always be a place in my wardrobe for this beloved print. 

I'm loving flippy/trumpets skirts at the moment and I love this one in particular because it's not black or an all over colour such as the red, blue, green, pink and many other coloured versions that are currently doing the rounds when it comes to this trend. I don't normally mix prints but I think the leopard in the skirt and the cow print on the shoes actually look really good together! 

This is only a relatively cheap outfit but I think these Giuseppe Zanotti shoes (my faves) add so much more to it. As a shoe lover, I am always happy to welcome designer shoes into my life. But while I don't go out and splurge on expensive shoes very often, they have an undeniable ability to make everyday outfits automatically chic (see above). 

NYFW Street Style

There's always so much buzz around fashion weeks. One thing I love even more than the runways is stalking blogs to check out the latest chic on the streets. Street style is truly inspiring and this NYFW was no exception. I'm sure I'll be embarking on many more blog stalking rampages as London Fashion Week is now upon us. Stay tuned for more street style snaps shortly!
