FASHION WEEK FABULOUSNESS, INVITES & FW PLAYLISTS

Well hello cupcakes! I know, I know... it's been a fashion forever since I last posted in blogosphere. Sorry for going all m.i.a on you, it wasn't intentional, I just a few things I must attend to whilst being in London.
For what it's worth, I've slowly been catching up on all things fabulous and the latest happenings in Fashion Week, here's just some of my favourite things - Style, Fashion Week Invitations - I love papery goods with pretty designs and awesome graphics, and lastly a good Playlist that'll have you tapping you feet. Yup, I've listed some of the finest Fashion Week music playlists and tunes, so enjoy little lovelies!

A sack load of invitations prior to Fashion Week is probably enough to drive the postman nutso, but still, who doesn't love a beautiful, creative work of art in the form of an invitation? I love all of these, some of them are from the past, but they're still fantastic - notice the Willy Wonka one from Stella McCartney? Fab, no?

I just love the Burberry Prosum pop up invite and the Kenzo pop up one below from 2009.

September has arrived! I feel like I outta throw a cocktail party on the terrace just because the sun is still shining and summer isn't O-V-E-R yet, y'know?

Back in London, I know that Autumn has clearly made it's sultry appearance, it's also the time for kids to prep for Back-to-school, or for some us, getting virtuous all over again with re-invention, organising our closets, getting a new haircut, stocking up the fridge with healthy foods, signing up to a gym, eyeballing the sample sale sites & scoring some new stylish pieces for workwear or even working out your outfits for the front gates (if you're a yummy mummy in the UK or going to Fashion Week).

It's been an indecently long time since I kick-started September with a bang, I blame procrastination, but I'm going to start running again, coz it gives me an adrenaline buzz like no other. My friends will beg to differ, 'Why run? The only time when you need to run is for the bus, train or when you're late for work!' Anyhow, the evenings will get a lot cooler in the upcoming weeks, so at least I won't melt.

What about you, what are you feeling?

I'm also giddy excitment about the possibility of the McQueen Savage Beauty Exhibition coming to London too, see full article here. That in itself is enough to make me buy a return ticket home in a jiffy. Hoorah we almost have lift off!

New readers, commenters and silent (invisible) followers, thank you to you guys for popping over and listen my incessant love of random things. You are my Ray of Light in blogosphere!

I guess I'll leave you with my longtime fave style obsession, Taylor Tomasi-Hill styling another Marie Claire (US) editor, Amanda Hearst... seriously, if you've ever wondered how this woman makes fashion (and next season's picks) look good, check out the video below! She whips up a gazillion looks in no time!
