London Fashion Week Essentials

Another London Fashion Week has gone in a whirlwind of queues, incredible outfits and amazing shows. A few days beforehand I opened up a spreadsheet and organised my show invitations, so I knew where I was going with ready and waiting packs for each day. Then I found a trusty tote bag to fill with my essentials for each day:
♥ My most important tool of the week is of course my camera, fully charged and with shiny new memory cards.
♥ If you're heading to London especially for the week remember to pack some flats. Day one your most fabulous heels might seem a great idea, but by the long and winding queues of day five it's nice to know there are some cosy flats waiting in the wings.
♥ It's really easy to forget to grab a bite to eat or drink in the rush so I always take a couple of bottles of water and cereal bars.
♥ The great British weather is notoriously unpredictable so layers are an excellent idea and a pretty brolly even more so!

♥ Despite the rain, this last LFW also saw glorious sunshine and you'll need a fabulous pair of sunglasses to see you through the week. I really love the vintage allure of this gorgeous Ralph Lauren pair at Optical Express. They're so chic and their versatility makes them a wonderful investment both for fashion week and beyond.
