Ah isn't Somerset house beautiful?
It feels a bit odd to be here when it isn't fashion week, most noticeably was the lack of the big courtyard show space in the centre where willowy model types can usually be seen having a quick cigarette break during the show season. This time, the frantic fashion vibes were replaced by a much more relaxed and sunny one on this visit, as it was the location of the
Next Autumn Winter Press day. Probably my favourite location yet. There are definitely a few things that caught my eye and as ever, there are lots of great shoes to look out for!

I still don't own any leopard ballet flats, despite the style and print being absolutely everywhere for years now. These bright red ones are really cute, a little quirky/retro but the brightness means that they are a bit of a statement piece.

Another thing I don't own yet are printed jeans. Next always do great jeans and this heart print is a nice addition to their range. Plus the dark colour is super flattering too.

I've also reached an age where browsing home-ware with friends is actually enjoyable and I particularly love the home section in Next. I actually loved this Canvas with all the little messages on it, it's so positive and happy! It would make a perfect housewarming gift too and is super DIY-able. Probably not the main intention of the press day but I can't have been the only one to think this. Time to buy some paint, stencils and a big canvas!
Oh wow, I'm totally in love with all of the shoes!
ReplyDeleteI'm moving to London for a semester and I was wondering if you've got any tips on the big move for me? I'm super excited, but I have no idea what's in store!!
It was great catching up with you at the Press Day. I loved the collection too!

hahahah I'm sure Next won't like the DIY idea, but it is a very nice idea indeed :))
ReplyDeleteI super prefer flats too, I don't even own heels XD it's so uncomfortable, I don't get why women like them!
I love printed jeans, you should get some! But I love printed anything, really XD
Wow, super impressed with Next, I have to admit I have never ever shopped there... maybe I will now though! xx

Those red leopard pumps are fab. Glad to see lots of red stuff creeping AW12. Love your curly hair from the previous post - it looks super glam and REALLY suits you, great decision! xx

ReplyDeleteHow great!! Love the shoes!!
ReplyDeleteOoo I love all those shoes too, Winnie! Cath just bought a pair of leopard flats, but before that neither one of us had a pair -- and you are right, leopard and flats -- been around forever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing you Next sightings with us!
