I'm back from a lovely birthday vacation on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands and am finally getting around to posting my outfits of the day from London Fashion Week. My first outfit was taken from the website thefashinist.se and was photographed by Swedish street fashion photographer Fosco Giulianelli. I wore this outfit backstage to the Belle Sauvage SS12 show at the Old Sorting Office.


I knew I wanted to wear the suede boots I was given last spring by Korean designer Jung Du Young after I walked for his VanHart Homme FW2011 collection. I picked up the grey trousers when I went shopping with my friend Paula (aka Noonablog) at Behave near Brick Lane in east London a few weeks ago and thought they paired nicely to create a sort of riding look.



I wore a lot of accessories with this look. The belt is a vintage find from Canada which I love for its stripes. I bought the clutch from Urban Outfitters when I first visited London last Christmas and wore it with one of my favorite outfits of the day HERE when Burger and I went all touristy near the Tower Bridge. The Cazal sunglasses are from Burger's extensive collection.



I made the non-watch out of vintage watch parts that I thrifted at an antiques market - sort of as an anti time statement since who really needs a watch nowadays when you have a phone in your pocket all day? I've made a few of these and sold them on our Burger & Fries boutique on ASOS Marketplace. They have been a hot seller are all sold out at the moment, but I'm sure I'll be uploading more in the next few weeks.

sunglasses / vintage Cazal


My first chadchad of the day from London! I thought I'd better make a big statement, so I chose this vintage raw hide jacket that I found in my Grandma Noni's basement while I was home in Canada. It was worn by my Grandpa Peter when he used to frequent rodeos in the 80's and was handmade by some Native American ladies who live near our families summer cottage. It's all raw leather with hand-cut tassel and hand-sewn beading. It must have taken hours to make. You definitely do not want to get caught in the rain with this puppy or you will smell like a freshly skinned animal.

Burger was given the screen-printed tank right from the sweaty back of Hercules & Love Affair singer Andrew Butler during a recent concert in London. He was pretty happy about that, but I'm sure glad he washed it.




I picked the sunglasses & cross ring out of Burger's vast selection of accessories. I swear I could wear a new hat, glasses or ring for every day of the year if I looked hard enough through that kid's cluttered little bedroom.
