The weather may be warming up but this gorgeous oversized coat is arriving today and I can't wait. Total impulse buy I can't really afford, but when it usually retails at £295 and I got it for less than 90, who can really say no?

SIMON ANNAND: THE HALF

Wow where does the time go? I can't believe it was two weeks ago today that I attended the Simon Annand Private View and I'm only just getting round to writing about it.

Theatre photographer Simon Annand, has for more than 25 years had the privilege of going backstage in London's West End theatres and shooting actors during the last half an hour before curtain up. His images which feature some of the world's best known actors, capture a private moment that is never usually shared. The exhibition showcases images from his book The Half as well as some never before seen work.

Some of my favourite images were of Cate Blanchett, a young Colin Firth (he hasn't changed a bit!), as well as Daniel Radcliffe below.

SUMMER

Images on Nasty Gal Vintage are making me long for the type of Summer we never see in England. Time to book a holiday.

CARVEN SS12

Carven SS12 has just hit down at Selfridges and looks so cute!! I love the styling with the bow back court shoe, appeals to my girlier side which doesn't come out very often. Love the yellow on yellow.

MFW: PRADA

Just seen these awesome images of the Prada show on the Self Service blog (haven't seen the full show yet) and had to post. Love the prints and the HAIR.

It's also a good time for me to rave about the cover of the SS12 issue. Daphne Groenveld photographed by Alasdair McLellan. I love the one in colour the best.

HEN WEEKEND

Just on the train back from Shrewsbury after a wonderful hen weekend at Condover Hall. It was the type of weekend you never want to end, highlights include singing and dancing along to Whitney on the big screen in a matching costume and climbing a 30ft pole, standing on a 2ft platform at the top, jumping off it and catching a trapeze in mid air. A bigger post will follow, but for now a couple of quick snaps...

LFW: MARY KATRANTZOU

Dying at this Mary Katrantzou dress. Watched the show live on Topshop.com and was totally mesmerised, especially by the more fluid pieces like this in contrast to the structured shapes she is already known for.

LFW: CHRISTOPHER KANE

Love this look, the jumper reminds me of strawberry laces!

LFW: TOPSHOP UNIQUE

I found it hard to narrow down my favourite looks from the Topshop Unique show, there were so many! This has to be their most wearable collection yet, commercial but edgy, Kate Phelan's influence was obvious. Especially loved the harnessed printed midi dress, the oversized knits with cross print and the velvet dungarees. Savings started.

LFW: LOOKS FROM LONDON

Most of the shows I get excited about take place in London, because Londoners never hold back! Here are some of my fave looks so far, from my favourite London designers..



Simone Rocha
