The LOOK Show Diaries #5

Here's some snippets from the LOOK Show. So, after leaving the pre-show reception/sauna/blogger fest, we headed to take our places on the front row! We were offered mini bottles of champagne to sip on when we weren't snapping photos of the show, and I tried to be nonchalant about the huge goody bags, which had to be stashed under our seats. LOOK readers will already be aware of what the show's all about, but I'll explain just in case you don't. LOOK magazine is passionate about championing the Great British High Street, and proving that style doesn't only have to come at the cost of a personal stylist and a designer label. Their show is all about featuring the latest drops for the coming season, which are affordable to every budget and are available to buy right now. The thing I enjoyed most was seeing some fantastic outfits put together by stores I wouldn't necessarily shop from. There were outfit combinations that I would never have thought to try, but they looked amazing, which really opened my eyes to the potential of dressing from the High Street. 

While we were getting the celebrity treatment, some real celebrities also popped up along the front row including Alesha Dixon, Kelis, Kimberley Wyatt from the former girl band, The Pussycat Dolls, and pop girl group, Parade. The show was kicked off with a catwalk debut by Girls Aloud's, Sarah Harding, and was interspersed with a phenomenal performance by Dionne Bromfield. Not only was I astounded by her amazing voice (which sounds even better live), but she practically pranced down the runway in skyscraper stilettos and she's only fifteen! I've still not learnt the art of merely walking in heels, let alone dancing backwards along a runway...

Sadly the show absolutely flew by. I could have sat for hours watching the collections, but there were still more LOOK prizes to be enjoyed...
