BAR

In terms of design, I absolutely love this set of earrings from Zara...

But the first pair I bought broke within a week, so I went back and bought a second set. After another week or so, that one broke too. Too angry to go back and even swap them - now all I have is this picture.

They went down in the sale, and now I know why!

WANG

As soon as I saw the H&M x Alexander Wang collab last year, I knew I was going to be one of the ones queueing on Oxford St for it before work. Being about 300 deep in the queue at 8 in the morning, I was given a 1pm timeslot.

I'm not going to go into the horrors of getting my hands on the pieces - but I am so, so happy I got this dress and the matching skirt. It fits like a dream, and is one of the few dresses I love wearing.

TOPSHOP TRENDS

Here is my final look for Topshop's Fashion Week trends campaign that ran instore. I wore Topshop fur coat, Topshop Unique blouse from last season, Topshop navy scuba trousers and & Other Stories heels.

For Topshop's Oxford Circus store, I designed a pop-up fashion week space to hold the trends, which changed daily. It was sooo strange seeing my photo in the store that I visit nearly every single day!

CARAVAN

Working as a designer for Topshop, I'm used to creating the instore graphics and campaigns - but not featuring in them!

Still looking back at last Fashion Week while I start to get ready for the next one, above is a look at the day I was in front of the camera instead.

I turned up to King's Cross with my Topshop fur coat, navy trousers and Topshop Unique blouse nervous beyond belief. After a quick breakfast at Caravan, outfit checked by Rosie and Carly (pictured above), I was ready for my close-up.

 I'll post the final looks soon!

MY CALVINS

I spent months searching for the modern cotton Calvin Klein sets last year, until finally my opportunity came to snap them up when Topshop started stocking them in the Oxford St store.

I rushed to get my hands on both the black and white sets (and was elated to get staff discount!)

I heard a rumour that they'll be getting the grey set in Feb, but I can only dream...

BRAIDS

One of the best things about moving back to Lewisham is the twenty or so barbers and hairdressers on my road. Mainly Afro-Carribean, I took it as an instant challenge to find the best braids.

I'd only ever had two at a time before, but wanted to try four... I don't know what it is, but as soon as I walk in all the women getting their weaves done kiss their teeth and look at me blankly as if I'm going to ask for directions.

They usually tell me £40 or more for braids, thinking that I'll pay anything. These ones were too tight, and even though I love the back of them, I look like I have four horns from the front.

Took them out only an hour later, so all I have from this expensive experiment is this photo... My search will continue.
