This compilation of outfits is sort of a diary of how my style evolves and changes during the first winter months, for me to see what affects the way I dress and for you to see which combinations of clothes I thought would be suitable for the day. I think it's interesting to see how I have different periods where I favour a couple of colours over others, and I wear those almost exclusively. Also a lot of the time I have very girly periods with floral prints and dresses, which makes this month an interesting and notable exception. This month it seems to be a combination of grey and browns, as those appear in my shoes, bag, coat etc. Might have something to do with the overall gloominess of the month, but something just drove me to those colours daily like a moth to a flame. I will make an effort of capturing more looks during the month in the future as this obviously only shows the outfits that I thought looked somewhat decent. I might even make this into a monthly series if I feel like it. There are a couple of university pieces that I would like to share with you including an interview with a fashion PR consultant and a piece about the emergence of 60s youth subcultures and their effect on fashion. If you people would be interested in seeing those do let me know! Also if you couldn't care less and you'd rather see me ramble on about my uninteresting life, I would also like to have knowledge of that. I would appreciate any feedback at all. So without further ado, here are some of my outfit ensembles of the month! Stay cool people.

The fashion obsessed freak that I am, I decided to book tickets for a catwalk show at the London Fashion Weekend that happened straight after the real fashion week for actual fashionistas. Me and my friend Laura planned our outfits days in advance, trying on different combinations that would say ”I know about currents trends and I flaunt them with just the right amount of individuality”, a process that any self respectable fashionista goes through before important events as such. When the outfits were perfected to the right standard, we put on our highest heels so that we coud demonstrate how much we're willing to suffer for fashion, and promenaded to the event. I was happy with comments like ”hello princess”, whilst Laura had various people adoring her new coat. This is how we knew they were successful outfits, and that the fashion world were definitely ready for our fabulous presence. On top of the bunch of free stuff we got, we had the chance to feel the excitement of the mainly girl crowd, all dressed in their best, to feel like we were a part of something bigger. The room was full of young, passionate and driven girls and boys and it was an honour to be a part of that atmosphere. We were the respected fashion crowd, the new generation of fashion personalities. It was the best feeling, and definitely exceeded all of my expectations. We had the pleasure of seeing the Fyodor Golan show, which had already been showed at the real fashion week to fashion editors and other influential people. Sitting on that front row with our legs crossed, eyeing at the models up and down, not being able to keep an unwavering facial expression like we are supposed to, I knew that this was the place we were meant to be. The show was full of Lady Gaga-esque shoes, colourful and innovative prints and oversized midi skirts in primary colours. An absolute delight to watch. I know I will be back again London fashion week, even if it is not as an invited guest. So that you can also experience the excitement of the event I have added some pictures I took at the show below. Enjoy and keep chasing your dreams!

Reason #1 for being late: trains always take longer than I would think

Everyone knows me the best for being a colossal failure at life. I am known to lose things, be late and generally fail at important yet simple tasks of life. A good example of this is I just happened to be in Greece when the deadline for university hall payments was due, resulting in me not getting a place there, and me realising this two months later. What they don't know is that it's not something that I strive for or want to happen, it just does. I can't explain it, but I feel like there is some kind of universal magnetism in me that makes the bad things happen to me. How is it that everytime I have somewhere important to be, the alarm just doesn't go off, I'm waiting for my new phone to arrive and am therefore late and not contactable? There's no scientific explanation I can come up with except that I am born with a screw-up gene. If I wasn't constantly forgetting about things and being late, I wouldn't be me. It's gone so far that screwing up is now actually called puling a Jennie. Forgot to put your alarm on to wake up for school? You pulled a Jennie. Late to meet your friends by two hours without notice, but you still have an excuse? You pulled a Jennie. I wish I could stop pulling Jennie's but being the creator, I am bound to have a couple screw ups here and there. The thing is that when I actually am early, or have not lost anything for a while, nobody seems to notice. It is so much easier to see when I make the mistake. ”Well, what else is new Jennie?”. I bet others get a lot of enjoyment from seeing me do these things over and over again, it's sort of like the real life shenanigans of a female Mr. Bean. It's sort of a comedy show that I am hosting unwillingly, but am still known for. Imagine if I started a new show huh? If Mr. Bean ever stars in another movie, trying to act like a normal being, you will always see him as that pathetic excuse of a person. He will never be able to pull off another perhaps more serious role in his life. Poor Mr. Bean.

Reason #2 for being late: the selfie has to be taken before your face gets all worn out during the day, am i right?

See ya Finland!

I still can't get over the normcore trend that dominated 2014, especially the slouchy, oversized tees with bozy sleeves. This worn with a pair of mini shorts and heels that especially A Detacher nailed would look great during the summertime.


2. Sporty chic


This is a trend that's been around for what feels like ages but I've personally never been too hyped about it. However after seeing ADEAM's and Akris' exuberant creations I quickly changed my mind. I'd love to rock this look with fruity colours and a sleek hair updo.

3. Indian hippie
Alberta ferretti is among my favourite designers at the moment (given my bias towards all italian designers) and the fact that he so wholeheartedly embraced the native american suede look made me appreciate his collection so much more. Brown suede was used in other collections but to a lesser extent, like in this cowboy like ensemble by Prada.

4. Art or fashion

From this season I am probably the most intimated yet intrigued by this trend. Antonia Marras had some wonderful artsy prints and embellishments going on in his collection and I hope that one day I'll have the courage to wear the likes of them.

5. A-line everything


Since about a year ago I've been absolutely obsessed with Delpozo's 60's retro vibes, clean cuts and modernity. This season they continued this and took their love for A-lines to another season and I have to say I'm still quite smitten; the mini dresses, the top with a hem and the midi skirts, what's not to love?

6. Dress over t-shirt combo

I am so glad that Au Jour Le Jour brought back this cute 90s trend (that I would have worn as a 11 year old) and made it chic again with a strappy patterned dress and a loose tee combo; I can't wait to try this one out.

7.  Asymmetric

The asymmetric trend was among the most reoccurring and clear trends of SS 2015 and Opening Ceremony was a proud ambassador of that. The wraparound dresses with an asymmetric form were my absolute favourites among with Christopher Kane's zig zag cut outs on various dresses.

8. Orange


Orange was all over the runways during the last fashion week, namely Giulietta, who made a safety vest orange look refined on a cocktail ensemble with a black and white sequins as well as Roksanda with a more subdued take on the neckline of a geometric patterned dress.

9. Glamour peasant

Isabel Marant's collection was one that caught my attention with its sacks of wheat adorned with diamonds and ropes. Her mini dresses didn't look the least bit cheap with her innovative design skills shining through. Who would have thought that a bag like, unfinished dress tied around the waist with a rope could look undeniably fresh and trendy?

10. Blue cotton shirt

This trend was probably my personal favourite out of all, and Jonathan Saunders did a wonderful job at spread heading it around fashion week. Previously I've been obsessing over white cotton shirts but when the hue changes to blue I feel like there are endless possibilities to make it a new and interesting look: just take Valentino for example, pairing the shirt with an ethnic and folkloric midi skirt.
