Brianna

After my enjoyable evening at the L.K. Bennett fashion show at the Library, I decided to invest in the beautiful Brianna bag. It is designed with three striking colours, Yellow, Purple and Grape of fine kid leather, and comes with a handy detachable strap.

At the fashion show I spent all evening with one eye on it. Though can you really blame me?  I spent my time during the intermission of the showcase deciding how I could fit it into my current wardrobe, and by the end of the evening I was sold. I would make it fit no matter what.

The only downside of the bag is it struggles to fit, phone, purse and make-up. It is purely due to the folded in grape sides which helps make the bag pop, so I honestly wouldn't change them.

One of my favorite parts about it is the large contrast exposed stitching it has, I personally think that if it didn't have it the bag would look as though it was just not right and was missing a key element.

It is just a little annoying having to play tetris each time you take something out of your bag, but since i'm not using it as an everyday bag I really can't hold it against it. I just need to remember to not carry and cash with me and I shall be fine.

Since buying the Brianna, I have worn it out with every outfit since I bought it on Thursday. Much to the mocking of my parents, but I don't care and am enjoying adding this burst of colour to every moment I am out of the house.

L.K. Bennett at Norwich Fashion Week

Last week was my favourite week of the year (ignoring christmas and my birthday) it was Norwich Fashion Week, and sadly this year it fell the week before I moved into my new house. So I was being a good girl and not spending any money on tickets, and following every moment like a tiny blonde stalker through twitter and feeling massively jealous of everyone there.

The Library Restaurant

However, my boyfriend being lovely as he is, treated me to an L. K. Bennett ticket for their fashion show at the Library Restaurant (mostly knowing I would be unbearable if I missed it). And boy I was impressed. The lovely ladies at Jarrolds impressed me with this seasons controversial collection. Not a single traditional colour to be seen.

Once sat down in the bar upstairs with fashion week themed cocktails, we were welcomed to the new season in style.  

First up were two outfits chosen for Ascot Ladies Day.

Lime, who would have thought it

Left: Lander skirt, Perth jacket, and Willa bag. Right: Sayno dress, Florisa shoes, and Leonie clutch.

Lime was mentioned to me about two months ago about it being in the new collection, and my reaction was you can't be serious Lime?! But now seeing it in the flesh, I am now a fan of the colour and can't wait to try it out. But on top of that Pink and Lime, L.K. you are a genius putting colours together I would never even dream of trying them myself, but for reasons I can't explain they work so well.

Hair by Hairsmiths

Once the girls had walked around and let us see the outfits, the cocktail glasses where topped up and the final outfits came around. 

Theses were picked for the Mother of the Bride. Even beingyears off picking my Mother of the Bride outfit I still enjoyed them greatly, especially the Floret Shoes, and matching bag.

Left: Houston dress, Palmita shoes, and Avona bag. Right: Amol dress co-ordinating jacket, Floret shoes, and Flo bag.

If I am honest I was starting to wish I was the mother of a bride, or I may just crash a wedding for an excuse to wear the Amol set. It was so well tailored and looked so much fun to wear. Especially paired with the amazing splash of pink.

This collection blew me away, I wanted every single item. I enjoyed the breath of fresh air that was brought to this collection. It doesn't just say hello to the Summer, but welcomes it in with a nice glass of bubbly at a lovely garden party whilst watching a sunset.
