I thought I deserved it as a small treat after working so hard lately! <\/p>\n<p>For those of you who aren&#8217;t sure what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.londonfashionweekend.co.uk\/\">London Fashion Weekend<\/a> is, it&#8217;s basically a sort of shopping festival held at the home of LFW, Somerset House. There&#8217;s discounted designer shopping, pop up shops, hair &#038; beauty rooms, catwalk shows, panels &#038; talks from leading industry experts and even a little live music thrown in too. <\/p>\n<p>I know a lot of people like to get dressed up for things like this, but for me when I know I&#8217;m going to be on my feet all day &#038; pushing my way through crowds in tiny rooms, I&#8217;d much prefer to be comfortable. These <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/hxpzmxpe\">Kurt Geiger<\/a> wedges have become my go to comfy shoe lately, they go with everything &#038; I can walk around all day in these without any discomfort at all. My new biker jacket from <a href=\"http:\/\/direct.asda.com\/george\/womens\/coats-jackets\/D1M1G20C6,default,sc.html\">George<\/a> was an obvious choice too, can you believe it was \u00a330 (now \u00a315 in the sale)?! It&#8217;s hard to see here, but the body is a twill weave &#038; the collar\/sleeves are brushed wool, this subtle attention to detail makes it look far more expensive than it&#8217;s tiny price tag &#038; it falls perfectly between casual &#038; smart too, I know I&#8217;m going to get a lot of wear from this. <\/p>\n<p>The main draw of the event is of course the discounted shopping, but I didn&#8217;t actually come home with anything, despite being tempted by quite a few things &#038; their discounts. I didn&#8217;t want to get caught up in the low prices &#038; buy things that I didn&#8217;t love, purely for the sake of getting something at a good price. Isn&#8217;t that always the case though, when you set out for a day of shopping you can never find anything you actually want to buy! As soon as we arrived I made a beeline for the shoes, but I was sorely disappointed to find there was no Finsk stall this year, as I was hoping to score a discounted pair of their wedges. <a href=\"http:\/\/miista.com\/\">Miista<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atalantaweller.com\/\">Atalanta Weller<\/a> both had some beautiful pieces for sale however, and I&#8217;m a little bit annoyed Ollie managed to talk me out of buying those beautiful blackened silver boots! It was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tessametcalfe.co.uk\/\">Tessa Metcalfe&#8217;s<\/a> bird claw necklaces that totally stole the show for me though, I&#8217;m still daydreaming about them now!<\/p>\n<p>I think <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laurawelsh.com\/\">Laura Welsh<\/a> was probably the highlight of our day, performing live in the Levi&#8217;s Reveal Studio it was such a pleasure to hear her live in such a small space, her voice is so soulful &#038; gave me literal goosebumps. I have a feeling that it won&#8217;t be long before you&#8217;re hearing a lot about her! We also went along to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.somersethouse.org.uk\/visual-arts\/isabella-blow-fashion-galore\">Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore!<\/a> exhibition, though sadly no photography was allowed so I have nothing to actually show you from that, but there <em>may<\/em> be a few sneaky photos on my <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/faiiint\">Instagram<\/a> if you&#8217;re curious! I&#8217;ll just say that it was the other highlight of my day &#038; is well worth visiting if you&#8217;re in London before it finishes, especially if you&#8217;re a fan of the woman herself, Alexander McQueen or Philip Treacy, there are some spectacular pieces on show!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/2014\/02\/A01_5209_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/2014\/02\/A01_5209_2.jpg\" alt=\"London fashion weekend designer shopping, Somerset House.\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11035\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/2014\/02\/A01_5209_2.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/2014\/02\/A01_5209_2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/2014\/02\/A01_5177_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faiiint.com\/faiiint\/faiiint\/images\/2014\/02\/A01_5177_2.jpg\" alt=\"London fashion weekend designer shopping, Somerset House.
