This blogpost was inspired by the beautiful brands at London Fashion Weekend. I was grateful enough to go to the event on behalf of label.m and received a hair makeover (check out my amazing Bardot look on my twitter @rheadillon), a goody bag packed with products perfectly chosen for my afro hair type needs and a free glass of bubbly! Despite having a crazy mare of a morning and journey getting there, I ended up having the best evening and I can't thank Eve and India from label.m enough. They really know how to cheer a gal up and the whole team at #LFWEnd were so kind, cheers guys and I will be back!

London Fashion Week, Free (Shows are invitation only)
Quelle surprise! 
London Fashion Week (or for the hip peeps amongst us LFW) is widely known as the best Fashion Week out of them all because of how exciting and free the fashion is here in LDN. Anything goes really, making it the best place to go people spotting! Go along and make some contacts or even have a go at some Satorialist-worthy street style snaps yourself! Walking around the Somerset house courtyard is completely free and so interesting! 
Have a look at @twistedtime on instagram where I have done a #twistedtimetakeover for the weekend (give me a follow @rheadillon while you're there!). I have posted many snaps of LFW SS15's best dressed that I'm sure you'll enjoy - want more hi-res shots? Then check out my flickr

This is a perfect bag for those of us who carry too much and may want to mix around with styling because you can use the shorter straps and hold it like a handbag. What's more, they come in so many cool colours you'll be spoilt for choice!

This week's blogpost is based on going off to university as students received their A level results on Thursday. Luckily, Thursday wasn't as stressful for me as it was for my friends because I already have an offer for Central Saint Martins to study a Foundation Course in Art & Design this September. Phew! However, I did apply to study English starting 2015 and I can happily say that I got a place at Newcastle University and cannot wait! 
Well done to everyone who received their uni places and got their grades, and good luck!
