London Fashion Weekend..finally.

Sorry for the delay. As I slowly sort through the hundreds of pictures, I figure the best way to explain our experience with London Fashion Weekend is to see it through our eyes...err, camera lens.

First, we have the outside of the beautiful Somerset House (on the strand). Hot pink was this season's color for banners and gift bags.

And, inside we traveled through Escher-esque

stairwells to view all the sales.

We had tickets that for the 14:00 Catwalk on Friday and arrived early to make sure we'd grab seats and wouldn't have to stand.

So excited!

Our hostess for the evening was Louise Roe,

the British E! entertainment fashion correspondent.

(She also does some work with Elle uk and has been a guest blogger on the piperlime/gap.inc website... I guess she's a bigger deal than I ever knew.)

Toni & Guy took care of hair, while Elizabeth Arden did make-up... get ready for some red hot or bright orange statement lips and purple eyes this S/S (just don't do both together, please.)

Since this was LFWE (the E adds the "end" onto London Fashion Week), the catwalk was about Spring/Summer, but the whole week before showed the F/W10 collections.

Normally, a single designer will show a collection. This catwalk was a combination of many designers split into three trends, which I'll pick an outfit or two to post.

On with the show....

CANDY ROCK:

SWALLOWS AND AMAZONS:

I love these shorts... unfortunately, Jaeger only made similar ones for the RTW, but more shops are picking up on them.

VINTAGE GLAMOUR:

Lastly,

Betty Jackson's S/S10 collection:
