Lindex & FFG: Intro, event & style update all-in-one
For those of you that have been reading FFG since the beginning, you'll need no introduction to the brand Lindex. I've been writing about them for years as their campaign stars for seasonal launches have been nothing short of spectacular. Everyone from Gywneth Paltrow to Reese Witherspoon has stepped in front of the camera this Swedish brand - and with good reason. This is a brand that defines "good value for money." It's affordable fashion that offers a mix of trendy and classic for each season. And, as I've had this relationship with them for years, I'm proud to announce that I'm helping introduce them to UK shoppers by co-hosting an event in London.
On the 30th of September, at 6:30pm, I will be in store with Lindex at their flagship at Stratford City Westfield. Alongside the Lindex Head of Design, Nina Starck, I will be presenting trends for the season and offering up personal styling tips for the season ahead - one- on-one. This season the brand is knocking it out of the park with some great classics for knitwear, denim and overcoats. Oh, and it helps that Karlie Kloss is the face of the season - looking gorgeous in absolutely everything.
Here's all the info you need to know about attending the event, and a quick look at my Lindex staple pieces for the season - I die for this knitwear! DIE, I tell you (and it's only £24.99).
To RSVP to the event, simply email the good folks over at Lindex today!

Styling my Desk
Desk - Ikea Micke, Print- Society 6, Antelope Head - Oliver Bonas, Pens - Tiger, Pen Pots - Tiger,
Marble Clipboard - Tiger, Camera - Urban Outfitters, Notebooks - H&M, Marble Tray - H&M
The first area of my house that I've really focused on is pulling together my desk area. It's the place I'll be spending most of my time (well apart from under my duvet watching Netflix!) at so I thought it would make the most sense to start off there.While it's still not at the point where I want to it be Im pretty happy with the direction the styling of the space is going! My number one priority in my work space is to have it looking fresh and fun at the same time. Something that ha my personal style down to a tee but also inspired and motivated me to work.
My whole living room theme is black and white with lots of colour pops with lots of black to give a really deep contrast between the white and the black and make the colours even more vibrant. My desk is currently working a sort of green theme though that's come in the form of my pride and joy - my Oliver Bonas Antelope wireframe. It's my absolutely favourite thing I've purchased for my new place so far, it just is so quirky and unusual. Plus I just love the way it plays on the traditional taxidermy thing, all while being cruelty free and not crass!
Reveal: The Fashion Foie Gras KFC Ricebox cover #PACKMOREINTOLUNCH
When I was first asked if I wanted to work with KFC on this special fashion week project, I did ask around about the general vibe about saying yes to such a creative endeavor. How would it be received? Would people feel this was way out of left field? My response from everyone was brilliant and went a little something like this, in different forms from different people, "the people that really know you will know this couldn't be more of a perfect way to expose your absolute love affair with fast food, not to mention fried chicken." Yes, I am the fashion fast food addict. Anyone that has a Ferrari for a weekend and chooses to really test it out by taking it through a drive thru might have a serious addiction.
So that leaves us where we are today - taking time to share a glowing moment in FFG's history. I have officially collaborated with KFC, which ticks two boxes. I had a chance to work with a fast food company, and one that sells a delicacy of my home region - fried chicken. Done and done.
In all seriousness, it was an incredible experience to be put under pressure to design something fashion inspired, in under one hour, that would not only resonant with the average KFC lunch customer, but also with the people of fashion week. I went with something I knew would turn heads - floral! I'm not sure if you guys remember when I wrote about a great company called Flowerbx a few months ago? I took A LOT of pictures of the flowers that were sent to my house and I kept a few in high res, just in case. I wasn't really sure what I was keeping them for, but now I know. In the back of my head I must have knew that one day chicken would like to be covered in those prints. Ok, I didn't know that at all. Not at all! But oh boy did the image come in handy when I found I was mostly inspired by all the florals that were making their way down the catwalk at London Fashion Week. And so, a sleeve was born.
Here are all the images you need to remember this moment. I do hope some of you managed to grab a box or two. I did tweet about the opportunity endlessly. If you're desperate for a sleeve I do have a few spare ;)
