Day 1 @ LFW

The day begins early for those of us that had the privilege of attending Fashion Week. First a shower and dress rehearsal, meaning making sure that what we will be comfortable and adequate for the rest of the long day.. Then the walk to Somerset House. The walk is short about 10 mins, the traffic is not bad, as long as you remember to look the right way when crossing the street, you'll be fine. Then hope to bump into a Cafe or Convenient Store for some quick snack/breakfast on the go or similar.

Make your way to Somerset House, Remember to wear the badge or you'll get stopped.

Then, look at calendar and list of events. Make sure to arrive early to get to que for the shows. Remember there is always a pretty long line between shows.

The good thing this year was the lack of freezing air while ir was early Fall, the popular consensus was that it was very mild weather, for some it felt like summer and people often complained of how hot it was. I personally, like it because I come from a very hot, hot place so this weather gave me a chance to wear layers. That is something unheard of back at home, layers, one may ask. Usually, we wear T-shirts and shorts all the way until almost Christmas time. I can honestly say I was not prepared for the weather because the only 3 items of winter clothing got used and reused multiple times. Well, at least now I know that I need to pack my wardrobe totally differently. I took way too many shoes and not enough clothes. I actually should have just gone shopping in Europe but I was afraid as it turned out that I would have no free time to go shopping. Mind you, I had collected a long list of stores I wanted to stop by and shop but as I mentioned before I run out of time before I knew it, it was time to go to another country and experience the weather there. I must admit, I was very pleased with the stores we did managed to go to in Amsterdam and Spain but I did not have a free hour to spare in London or Paris. How sad is that!! Oh well, as it was, the short trips to the stores in Amsterdam turned out to be extremely short, perhaps in the span of 10 mins to shop, that's not very conducive to really enjoy the experience but oh well, one must take what one can get. Time is short and traveling makes it seem ever shorter..
