So I’m in London!
Thus far, I’ve attended a great number of shows, including Issa, Marios Schwab, Rag & Bone, and Moschino Cheap & Chic. I’m off today to Burberry (wee!).
My schedule is actually pretty light, so I’ve been able to take in a few London monuments, like Buckingham Palace.
It’s been quite chilly in Londontown, so I decided to pair a Faith Connexion Annabelle Dexter-Jones crepe jumpsuit with a few UK accessories: a pair of Charlotte Olympia Leopard and Zebra Foal Jenny Court Shoes and my Stella McCartney bag.
And no, your eyes don’t deceive you! I tried a new hairstyle. My scalp has finally gotten a bit used to the braids, so I attempted a braid bun, thanks to this Youtube tutorial.
How did I do?
A dash of MAC Morange and a pair of Tom Ford cat eye Nikita sunglasses, and I was good to go!
What do you think?

*Later on, I grabbed drinks with friends, and switched out my huge tote for a smaller printed clutch from Urban Outfitters.
Which bag works better?

Cute! Have locs myself and interested in seeing how this works. Or how the braids aren’t sliding out. You can’t even tell!

I love the clutch as it gives it an elegant twist. It plays up the tones from the shoes and the jumpsuit. Love it :-)

September 17, 2012 10:09 am
Glad to see you’re enjoying London! Love the jumpsuit! Both purses work, but I like the clutch better. Very nice!
September 17, 2012 10:14 am

Love the jumpsuit!! I like the clutch better.

Looks good!
September 17, 2012 10:43 am
Love the jumpsuit, not sure about the shape and your body type. All and all a well put together look. Very effortless.
September 17, 2012 10:58 am
Love that jumpsuit! Go with the clutch. The colors compliment the jumpsuit very well and it’s less bulky so you look leaner and taller and the jumpsuit stands out even more.
September 17, 2012 11:23 am
Absolutely love those shoes! And the jumpsuit looks great on you.
September 17, 2012 11:29 am
Absolutely love this look! I like how the clutch gives off an “I’m ready to have fun” vibe.

I love this jumpsuit and the pictures. Beautiful bun as well! I hope the scalp is feeling better from NYFW :)
September 17, 2012 11:41 am
beautiful!
September 17, 2012 11:49 am
I love the picture of you in front of the gate, but I don’t like the jumpsuit. Shoes, nails and sunglasses are fab though.
September 17, 2012 11:56 am
I luv the clutch!
September 17, 2012 12:13 pm
I am loving the look! I totally love the jumpsuit. It would have been even more cute with a pop of color or print for the belt. Love the braids and sunnies too!
September 17, 2012 12:15 pm
Claire you look fab, I adore your braided bun. xoxo
September 17, 2012 12:30 pm
Love the look, so stylish and cute!!!!!
September 17, 2012 1:39 pm
love Stella and perfect for London 2 wear her designs, but the clutch ties in the look much better. I’d see that bag with more of a denim look, maybe fadedblackishjeans with crushed ankle booties
September 17, 2012 3:06 pm
Love it!!! You look amazing Claire!
September 17, 2012 4:17 pm

September 17, 2012 4:54 pm
The jumpsuit…the nails…the hair…love!
September 17, 2012 5:20 pm
The jumper reminded me of a mechanic overhauls. Loved the updo and shoes though
September 17, 2012 5:21 pm
Yes to the nails, the hair and especially the second bag! Hope you’re enjoying our capital!
September 17, 2012 5:26 pm
Welcome to Londinium! Nice to see such a stylish lass like yourself grace our shores. Hope the English weather is kind and the shows inspire
September 18, 2012 12:56 am
now this is fashion! From the nails to tha feet! love it!
September 18, 2012 3:49 am
I agree 100% with Starla… I think your body shape makes it look a little off… I need that clutch in my life tho…
September 18, 2012 11:45 pm
great look save for the jumpsuit needs a bit of tailoring
September 27, 2012 5:14 pm
You look FAB in that jumpsuit! …and the clutch worked fabulously!
