Would you like to see a fashion show this weekend?

It's not often that you can get something for nothing. It's also not often that fashion shows are open to any fashionistas that want to attend. But that is what's happening at the museum of london this weekend!
.
Free catwalk shows and workshops are taking place at the Museum of London all over the weekend, run by Fashion Diversity in association with Mahogany Model Management & Untold Design CIC, with shows from emerging, established and honorary designers including
.
I went to the preview last night, and I can tell you that if you don't have any other plans this weekend, it's definitely worth checking out (and if you do have other plans, they can always be cancelled, right?) These pictures should give you a sneak preview of what you'll get if you do:
See what I mean?! Definitely worth checking out some of the incredibly talented designers including choolips (who have a new topshop collection coming out soon), 21 things I love, and a very talented student collective. You can find out more about the events, which end on Saturday, here.

Right, now i'm off to check out my wardrobe for the millionth time: I have to leave for my first show in an hour, and I still haven't decided what to wear!!!!

Daily wear: All these pieces maketh a rock chick!

This is just a very quick post because, due to London Fashion Week kicking off tomorrow (yay!), I am giving myself a half a day off from blogging. I'm eating soup and reading a book instead; oh the glamour! This evening I have been invited by ethical fashion designer Choolips to a reception first and then the show of their new collection. It should be fun fun fun! Here is what i'm wearing in pieces (I think Susie B would call them the "deets") because there is noone to photograph the whole look: Biker jacket from topshop, leather tassel scarf from topshop, grecian dress from dorothy perkins, bag from joy, boots from doc martin.

The close up of my face is to demonstrate the benefit smokin' eyes kit I reviewed a couple of weeks ago-I have literally used it everyday since it arrived! I also feel I should note that wearing these boots is like walking on clouds: you would literally have to wrench them from my feet if you wanted to take them away!
.
I will be posting like crazy whenever I can during LFW, as i'm taking my laptop with me, so keep checking back for my, probably completely incoherent, updates. Or if you can't stand all this LFW hype, then check back on Wednesday, when normal bloggy service will resume! I will also be launching a new competition over the weekend, so watch out for it!

Love Tor x

PPS- Did I mention: woooooo!!!!
