London Fashion Week 2013

Fashion Week seemed to go by in a flash this year! One of my favourite things has been the live streaming of shows and the new Move It feature on Style.com, it makes a huge difference when you can see how the clothes move on the body and get a sense of the atmosphere in the showspace.

Here are some of my favourite collections from this year...

What I'm wearing

Outfit posts are one of my favourite things to read on other people's blogs but my lack of proper camera and a decent backdrop (I'm currently living in student halls) are an issue. This is my temporary solution, plus it's making me actually plan my outfits instead of throwing on the nearest thing in the morning! 

Here's what I'm wearing for a day messing about in the studio -

T Rex t-shirt by Tee and Cake at Topshop, pencil skirt from Fred Perry and shoes from Vans.

Teenie zine

Last summer I put together my first zine - Kids at the Back - a little 16 page ditty featuring an interview with Lee from Trash Talk, some photos and a bunch of DIY fun. Since then I moved, started art school and a new job and haven't had the time to pull together something of the same (or greater) quality. Which led to this little Friday night project... 

A collection of six photos from the past couple of months in one weenie A6 black and white zine. I've been mostly researching and developing ideas for all of my uni projects and it hasn't felt particularly productive so it was nice to do something separate for a couple of hours and actually create a tangible thing for a change.

It's definitely something I intend to keep up and am hoping to produce every six weeks or so. If you're interested you can pick one up here - at the Kids at The Back store.

Welcome!

I never know how to start these things but here goes...

My name is Laura and I'm a twenty-something vegetarian, vinyl collecting fashion student from Glasgow living and studying in Aberdeen.

Here is where you can keep up to date with my adventures in the (so far) chilly North East!
