>> I think you might have figured it out; I really just like saying pseudo-ghetto phrases like "Holler Y'all" in my head hence why I've titled this post thus for the third time running. Of course, should I even attempt to say something like that in reality, I'd be given the icy stare of disdain, bemusement and worse of all, pity. So I'll keep my ghetto vernacular tendancies to the blog, ta very muchy.
So London Fashion Week is over and whilst I gave up the chance to go and blog blog bloggy at D&G, Dolce & Gabanna along with the likes of Bryanboy and Tommy Ton I'm supremely glad to be sitting at an actual desk, geeking out, eating Pret sandwiches and err… talking about stuff other than fashion.
So here's to the last of the filler for a while until Paris which is… uh-oh… only next Wednesday… doh!
This outfit actually needs further clarification and investigation because I was lucky enough to preview the HUB collections that ASOS have worked on. At the moment they have capsule collections by the likes of Louise Amstrup, Ligia Dias, Florian, Ostwald Helgason and Poltock & Walsh but there's much more to come throughout October-November. Here I'm wearing the Natascha Stolle for ASOS long tuxedo jacket and the leather bangled arm warmers (online beginning of November) and a Louise Gray for ASOS purple and green chiffon tasselled top (online mid October). I'm pretty much in love with every piece and whilst these pieces aren't for keeps, I'll be snapping them up closer to the time…

I bumped into the beautiful Saga of The Neverending Story whose photography keeps getting better and better (made her Dazed debut in the new October issue!) and she snapped me on film here… reminds me I need to take more film snaps when I get the time…
(Outsapop zipper necklace, Natascha Stolle for ASOS long tuxedo jacket, leather bangled arm warmers, Louise Gray for ASOS chiffon tasselled top, pink PVC skirt, Topshop pale green tights, vintage white multi-strapped shoes)
I wore this Luxirare jacket twice and without a doubt, it was the piece of clothing that got the most questions and because I'm rubbish at articulating speak about bloggers etc, my vague descriptions probably left people none the wiser. I kept saying "It's by a blogger called Luxirare…" and people kept saying "Luxi-what?". Thankfully I hadn't lost my spelling skills so I just spelt it out for them. I almost met the very mysterious Luxirare when I was out in New York but fate intervened and it seems like it's meant to be a web-only relationship. In any case, this anecdote is there to remind Luxirare of her amazingness and that the questions asked can only be postive encouragement for her to take her food/fashion ventures beyond her home.

looking beautiful in both! i particularly love the asos pieces and the leather shorts.
Love the colour of your dress in the first outfit, and the pink peeping out beneath. Those are amazing tights! And the shoes and bag are rather nice indeed.

Holy Smokes! That Luxirare jacket is more beautiful than newborn babies. I think you just made them a sale. Sorry you are not comissioned.
I totally second Amanda. I’m already on Luxirare’s site. — This is great!
Awesome outfits! I partucularly love the first- The pictures you had taken in it are fanatstic!
Still can’t get over how rad you look in the Luxirare jacket!
Oh, that glorious zipper necklace.
That first outfit looks fabulous! The layering with the Natascha Stolle for ASOS long tuxedo jacket, scarf, down to the shoes.
Happy shopping,
Melissa

Ahaha I speak in pseudo-ghetto slang online alll the time. I could never say any of it in person though I’d sound like such a tool!! But it sounds funny in my head >_< ! x
of all of your outfits, susie, that first one might be my fave. it is just so…balanced. and p.s…visit the dirty south in the states and you can say holler y’all until your heart is content and no one will bat an eye.
OMG Susie, that first picture of you is one of the most gorgeous EVER!
I love the air of grandur that long tux jacket gives, and then below you have your fab way of mixing all those colours! The Luxi jacket really does suit you, and I like what you paired it with. I think these are two of the best outfits Ive seen you in, really amazing!
Where did you get the leather armwarmers??? They are fab!

How sophisticated do you look in the first photo?? (not that you don’t look sophisticated in the rest of the post) I can’t point to what it is exactly that makes you look so elegant, but you look rather lovely! Bravo! xx
