I haven't blogged in so long, i miss it! It really is down to the stress of college life... Make that the stress of life full-stop.

I just thought i better do a brief profile on the Queen Of Fashion herself before I bombarded you all with pictures from her latest collections. I'm obsessed.

Maybe it's my expressive taste but in my opinion her collections were by far the best this season. I do, however, always say that... My one single exception was Spring 2008 John Galliano (AH, don't me started... so beautiful).

I also felt that Vivienne's hair was convenient for my Halloween post.

Have a good one :)

Lily for Chanel Coco Cocoon

Hey everyone! Look what i found...

How beautiful are these campaign photos?

The rundown: Lily Allen is the face of the eagerly awaited Coco Cocoon collection by CHANEL that launches this month. Karl Lagerfeld created the collection. It contains sleek, casual handbags and other accessories which all bear the signature CHANEL quilted pattern.

I love how we see Karl behind the camera :)

And she looks SO much like Audrey Hepburn in these snaps it's unbelievable! Seriously...The dark hair with the fringe and quiff... The sunglasses... The hair pieces...

See for yourself:

uncanny likeness!

Most of the items are a little too plain for my liking but I LOVE this white lambskin bag and sexxxy keycase... if only! -->

Ooo... and i also adore that frilly black and white wrist cuff Lily wears in one of the photos up there... Anyone know where i can find one of those beauties?

Anyhow... you can see the entire collection at http://www.chanelcocococoon.com/

Lots of winter love,

1.Wo/Man at London Fashion Week

About three words sum up Monday 21st September for me -

Crazy, happy and surreal...

Aindrea Emelife, the girl behind fashionista du jour, gave Camilla two tickets to her exciting fashion show of which she was the Project Manager (at 15 years old! She's amazing).

The project, organised by BBC Blast, ran for 5-6 months in which a group of 13 to 19 year olds designed, produced and styled a brand new collection, PLUS organised the fashion show itself (phew..)

On arrival we got wristbands and grabbed the last two copies of The Daily before we got sat front row, next to the art editor of Amelia's Magazine - Satu Fox.

She was so nice. Like, SO nice. How-are-you-in-the-fashion-industry nice.

So amazingly nice that she put her trust in US (us meer, small fashion bloggers) to take over her job for the evening and write a next-day report on the entire show.

We acted cool about it. But we really weren't.

We did the article at 8 in the morning the next day (dedication!) and you can find the link in the column to the left - we were so proud!

Aindrea was adorable and nothing like a 15 year old - sweet, mature and stunningly dressed. (I say this because my sisters are 15 and really not...)

We also met Sophie (fashion editor of The Dish) & Claire (from Young Shields) who, i swear, we did not stop laughing once in the company of! Like us, they were your average sixth formers so had just commuted from the depths of teenagehood to be placed in the middle of Fashion Week : the same scary boat.

The show was really impressive, especially for a group of teenagers. The structures were innovative and on-trend but the fabrics fairly simple. It was extremely urban in most places and the shoes were AWESOME (sequined brogues and floral wedges).

Here are my favourites from the show:
