Cross your Fingers...

 

.... For a little luck. 

After months of anticipation, my holiday to Mexico is finally just one sleep away but I'll be over on Instagram (@lucywilliams02) while I'm away.

So glad so many of you liked the Fashion Me Now Spring '13 mixtape - I'll be making a summer one when back from the beach so look out for that in the next few weeks.

Sold on Birkenstocks

Birkenstocks have done something of 180 ever since Phoebe Philo sent furry updates on the orthopedic staple down the runway for Celine S/S 2013. And while they may still be the marmite of footwear, I for one am totally sold on them. Especially good when teamed with baggy rolled-up jeans and a pair of brown ankles (read Kate Moss in her The Face glory days).

My favourites are the black two-strap ones here. 

Note: Thanks to Studded Hearts for the Bassike look book pictures (middle two) that only served to cement my 'yes' to Birkenstocks.

Last week I was more than busy with my regular job, so I couldn't manage to update blog or answer to your emails and questions, which I'm hoping that I will be able to do till the end of Sunday. Just give me some time! :)
Today, I decided to share this look made couple weeks ago. Ankle boots, coat over the shoulders and a new bag were my choice for that day.

A Short Story

With my Mexico trip just around the corner (1 week and counting), all my attention has turned to shorts, sandals, swimwear and every thing else that would inappropriately summery in London right now.

I always wish I was a bit more a dress person, especially on holiday, but I'm slowly coming to realise that as hard as I try, separates always feel a bit more me. Thus shorts are a real staple for me on holiday with at least seven pairs making it into my suitcase (light-packing is not one of my strong points) when headed for the beach.

And these four beauties are my current favourites. The black Ksubi cut-offs are a nice update on my faithful blue Levis, while the Zara and Iro pairs need nothing more than a simple white tee which sits very well with the no-effort-required mantra I seem to employ as soon as I touch down in the sun. 

Clockwise from bottom left:

Ksubi

Rag & Bone Jean

Iro

Zara

Bandana Print

I always love a bandana paisley print so it's little surprise that this silk shirt by Insight is one of my favourite recent finds.

I bought mine from ASOS but looks like it might be selling out fast so you can also get if from Revolve and Planet Blue.

Paris instagram guide: #PFW ...

Getting around a Paris during the fashion week madness is really incredible experience! Barbara Bui, Manish Arora, Cedric Charlier, Alexis Mabille, Marc Cross, Roi et moi are just some of the names in fashion which we have seen on the runways. Besides that, we also crashed at H&M party with Sonja Kovacs (editor in chief of Elle Serbia) and had amazing night!
Because of the #pfw , fashionable people are everywhere, and you never know who you'll meet! At our gorgeous hotel the Westin Paris - Vendome we run into one of my dearest girls Aimme Song and her lovely sister, but we also had chance to met super star Ashley Olsen, cute Garance Doré and Scott Schuman and as cherry on top, we met my all time favorite miss Caroline! 
So if you ask me what is the most important thing during the #pfw, I will say: Hotel! If you are at the right position, a few steps from the shows, or short taxi rides, if you are near all the fashion craziness you will feel like you are a true part of it, and you will love it!
At the end there are no words that can described better than photos, so I'm leaving you to catch the vibe!
Good night!
