Yes, the bum bag or fanny pack is back (it made huge headlines in the 1980’s to mid -1990’s). It’s main attraction is that they are hands-free! Many of us fear the bum bag. It used to be only the geeky tourist or hikers who would wear them but now they’ve really become a festival staple. They’re rarely worn on the bum - wear it on the front to look cool and avoid any pick-pockets. You can also fit quite a lot of stuff - a mobile, some money, antibacterial hand gel, sunscreen and some tissues.
This cowgirl bum bag is from Angel Jackson and you just know it’s going to be a huge hit on the festival circuit. It’s easy to imagine wearing it with your favourite demin shorts - add a pair of hunter wellies with long socks, a cool T, a pair of Ray Bans and you’re good to go.

Caroline? Caroline who? I may hear you ask.
Why she is my newest girl of the moment. We all know I’m a huge fan of Olivia Palermo but well, she hasn’t been seen since her London Fashion Week trip and well I need a new Girl Crush to take her place while she’s MIA.
When Caroline Sieber attended the Chanel show in Paris earlier this week she looked the best by far. Alexa, yes still fab and yes she was clutching the most amazing Chanel hamper bag type type thing but it was Sieber who rocked the front row. Looking every inch the trendsetting stylist she is (she is Emma Watsons go-to girl). Wearing a two piece Chanel suit (of course) in a vibrant shade of red teamed with a pair of gorgeous nude coloured Louboutin sandals. Her hair and make-up simple and unfussed. Elegance personified.
If truth be told I didn’t know much about this girl either, but after a few clicks I found out that apparently Sieber came to London from Vienna to be an accountant. However it’s obvious that number-crunching took a backseat to being a ‘Brand Ambassador’ for Chanel (nice gig if you can get it!) She’s now a permanent fixture on the front row, she made the top 10 in Tatlers Best Dressed list and she’s a regular on the posh party circuit. She counts Balenciaga, Balmain, Yves Saint Laurent, Charles Anastase, Burberry Prorsum, and Chanel—naturally!—as her favourite designers and brands. Oh and she also loves Krispy Kreme doughnuts - with her figure? Who knew!?!
What I love the most about this girl is how she dodges anything that is too trendy or polished, she accessorises her outfits with tough harsh accents such as leather belts and heavy heels but then adds a girly touch whether it be a cocktail ring or a jewelled headband.
While I’m still not 100% sure about how she makes a living or have a firm understanding of her client list. I am still quite certain that Sieber is the perfect embodiment of the classic Chanel ethos: modern, independent, iconic, confident, and above all else, effortlessly chic!

This was such a a fun shoot - Holly our model came down from Manchester for the shoot and she was even early! James was quite cool. I ran into him during fashion week as he was doing some shows on the menswear day.
Some shoots are just such an easy day. Everything is well planned and just runs smoothly, the models just looked so effortlessly cool. It’s always so interesting to see people like that - you just notice them in a bar or club and they just look cool but you’re not sure why…

I really loved the third season of Skins so I was quite pleased when I met Kathyrn Prescott - I really like her character Emily Fitch - one of the twins. Kathryn attended her first London Fashion Week and was at William Tempest’s show, and below is a mini-interview with Kathryn about fashion!

This was your first London Fashion Week - did you enjoy it?
Yes I did, I’m not really into fashion as in what’s in or out at any one moment, but I love fashion as a form of art and expression and I think that’s what fashion week is all about.
Do you have any favourite London designers?
I love PPQ and Vivienne Westwood, and I saw William Tempest’s collection this fashion week for the first time and thought it was great - the cuts and structure of some of the dresses were amazing.
Do you have a favourite shop on the high street?
I do buy clothes from the high street but try to avoid it because everytime I do I see so many people wearing the same thing. The problem is that everyone knows where its from, how much it costs when you buy from the high street. I prefer buying things from vintage or charity shops because you will never see the same thing on someone else or end up looking like a clone.
What is your favourite piece of clothing?
My favourite thing in my wardrobe used to be a pair of mint green, t-bar heels which I bought from Peacocks about two years ago for about £12, but my dog ripped them apart just after fashion week, so the title has now passed to a velvet skirt I bought in Beyond Retro last year.
Have you become more fashion conscious since you’ve been on Skins?
No probably not - my style has changed, but more as a result of having more money to spend on clothes, than directly because of being in Skins.
Does your character, Emily Fitch influence the things that you wear? Are your styles very different?
I love the crazy style Emily has, but personally there’s not many of her clothes that I would wear as myself . I’m not really into clashing colours or anything too "pretty" like the bows she wore a lot in series three, although I liked the navy blue playsuit she wears in the last episode of this series so much that Ed the costume designer let me keep it!
