AMONGST a season of simplicity with the emphasis on a grown-up, classic look I've found the perfect thing to slip on underneath. Young, London based lingerie label Beautiful Bottoms.

I met one of the designers and founders Poppy Sexton-Wainwright at the London Fashion Week exhibition, one half of a girlie duo which is completed by friend Lauren Skerritt. The girls, both 22, met at university and set out to create a fresh and innovative lingerie label. Their array of unique and eclectic designs which have a real vintage feel certainly portray just that.

My friend and I were immediately drawn to the beautiful prints and feminine shapes, the collection is certainly aptly named, but it also feels amazing to touch as every piece is made of silk. It certainly puts the t-shirt bra and control pants to shame!

So I think while wearing this seasons camel coat and tailored trousers, feeling all sophisticated and every bit the fashionista, these little beauties are the perfect undergarment for 'girlie girls' at heart. Prices range from £25-£40.

A catch up...

I'VE BEEN on hiatus but I'm back and have lots to share!

So much going on in the world of fashion at the moment..

  • Lavin for H&M - oversized floral prints, hot pink, puffed sleeves and shoes and bags to die for, the collaboration of the season is about to live up to expectation.
  • Jimmy Choo for Ugg is now available making cold winter days so much more glamorous.
  • And Jonathon Saunders, Preen, Jonathan Kelsey and....personal favourite Roksanda Ilincic have signed up to Debenhams - can't wait!...a designer/high street collaboration theme seems to be occurring here!

And over in my little world, so much has been going on while interning...

  • I've helped style The Wanted (it was tough but someone had to do it!) amongst a few other celebs.
  • Narrowly dodged a TV debut having assisted on a shoot with Laura Z & Samantha of Seven Days fame on Chanel 4.
  • Partied with Jodie Harsh, Miss Frank & Brian Friedman at the All Stars Lanes on Brick Lane for the Puma 'After Hours' launch (yes, we bowled...we were beaten by Tomo from Random Mag)
  • And I've assisted on countless fashion shoots - camel, leopard, shearling, chunky knit, military, tartan...the list goes on...
Here's a few pic's to sum it all up so far!
