(London) blues

miroslava duma-stockholm streetstyle

I was supposed to write about London Fashion Week today, but when I sat down to do it I realized how little I liked the collections this season. Maybe I was not in the best state of mind to watch the shows, but the truth is that nothing clicked for me, except for a few looks here and there (you can see them on my fall/winter 2013 board on Pinterest), and the whole thing left me with the impression that something was missing. I never quite know what to expect from LFW. And the best way to cure the lack of excitement on catwalk is some inspiring street style. Blue nonetheless. From Miroslava Duma’s gorgeous suit and Gabriella Wilde’s cape, to blue jeans: I’m fascinated by them.

Are you planning to watch the Oscars on Sunday? I certainly am, it’s already a tradition in my family. Have a great weekend!

    As for the collections – I agree with you completely. I am still unsure if I should even blog about LFW at all…
    Have a wonderful day and great weekend, Ada!

    Oh I do love that cape … I saw it earlier today and just adored it.:) For me, it’s all about Milan & Paris Fashion weeks really. And yes, I will be definitely be watching the Oscars – I’m already planning how I can watch it undisturbed (although I don’t like my chances!). Have a lovely weekend Ada :)x

    I like everything about that first picture, the hairstyle, the magnificent suit, the clutch and the shirt, what a lovely appearance. Ada, I am a little fed up with this collections, I feel like we are always during the fashion week (I need time more time), but the Oscars are almost here and this year I really want to watch the show. Have a wonderful weekend :*

    Love the green coat in the fourth photo (what is it with me and green these days?!!) – love the entire outfit. I haven’t viewed a single collection from LFW and only a few from NYFW. I simply don’t have much time these days and maybe my heart just isn’t in it. It will come later, I’m sure.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Ada!

    Hello Ada! I have to admit that the last weeks I have been so busy at work that I’m relying on m bloggers’ friends for the London and Milan fashion week reviews…I see a lot of jeans in these pictures (good as I’m currently focusing on revamping my denim wardrobe!) and Gabrielle Wilde look is just perfect! Looking forward to your Oscar post and wish you a nice w-e, Caterina

    I’m a bit underwhelmed by the shows I’ve seen so far too, but for me I think it’s because it’s somewhat irrelevant for my life in general. The street style, on the other hand, resonates with me. I love seeing what the ladies are wearing to the shows. It’s immediate, and often I find myself very inspired.

    Street style never fails to inspire me, even if the collections do! I adore Gabriella Wilde’s chic coat and Miroslava always looks incredible xx
