LFW Day One
I thought I’d start my blog with a first day LFW survival guide!
I always get my hair done by Miguel at Daniel Galvin Jnr. He’s really good at getting volume into the hair that stays: when you’re running from show to show you want to look your best all day.

LFW Day One
What to pack for a day at the shows? In my handbag you’ll find By Terry Baume de Rose, (£35, www.spacenk.co.uk,) it’s a great all-round beauty balm. I’ve also got a sample size of Penhaligon’s Artemisia (£68 for 50ml, www.penhaligons.com): I’ll be applying this to my pressure points in the cab between shows to revive and refresh myself.

Throughout LFW I’m going for a natural eye make-up look. I love this Dior Couture Eye Colour Palette in Rosy Tan (£40, nationwide). Today I’ve added the light brown in the crease and used the shimmering shade to contour. I’m tired from partying at LFW events, so this little trick makes me look awake.

I don’t leave home without my felt hat. I can fold it up and put it in my bag and it protects my hair and make-up when I’m running to my next show. Much chicer than an anorak.

I’m also wearing my sunglasses a lot, to fit in with the fashion crowd.

Hi guys!
Wake up... LFW has begun! It was hard getting up so early but worth it to see DAKS. Luke Hersheson from L'Oreal Professional talked me through the hair for the show! It’s gorgeous. Stay tuned for the next update... Xx

At the House Of Holland show, Sophy Robson created two custom colours - a pink and a blue and then a houndstooth stencil to go on top!

Thank you Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice for giving us the coolest taxi. Thanks to them we got to every show on time! And I got to wear my heels all day.
Plus - a shout out to Mark our taxi driver! I'll miss him lots when fashion week is over.

Show: Mark Fast
I love the girly, wispy aspect of this hair style. With the braids almost coming undone - which is in contrast to the model’s perfect skin and nails - it will look great with Mark’s designs!

I loved the nails backstage at Erdem. The hair and make-up was very stark and modern and the blue nails gave the look a futuristic pop of colour!

Erdem had a new take on a feline flick.
