**Papa-Razzi - loving those bags **
My Papa Razzi clutch
London Fashion Weekend was amazing and I have met so many interesting people - it was like a heaven for any fashionista :-) I was walking around and I saw this stand with a very unique bags designed by the company called Papa Razzi. It is a rolled up magazine a la vintage clutch design with a modern spin which can be a great statement piece to your day or evening outfit. You can purchase them on the www.asos.com website and I am loving the one I bought. Justyna xx
**Amazing jewellery - ST•ERASMUS**
Over the weekend I have attended this amazing event - London Fashion Weekend and I had the pleasure of talking to Pieter Erasmus who is a designer at the ST•ERASMUS – luxury jewellery label. I was hugely impressed with the designs, creativity and eye colour catching pieces. By looking at his work you can see how much time and effort has gone into making the individual designs. He uses various artisan techniques to make the necklaces, cuffs, rings and brooches using the Swarovski crystals and beading. Please check the company website www.st-erasmus.com for more information about his work and designs and personally I hope I will have the pleasure of working with Pieter in near future. Justyna xx

**Runway update - Burberry Prorsum - LFW**
Another exciting day at the LFW - today was the Burberry Prorsum show which took place at the Chelsea College of Art. What an amazing show and this collection was absolutely stunning! Designer Christopher Bailey has done a great job again and has not disappointed those who have been waiting for it! We have seen some beautiful leather and patent versions of its classic trench coat BUT it was the biker jacket that held the focus of the show. Sleeveless, leather strip styles and biker trench dresses were shown with leather motorcross leggings and skirts. I am so excited about this new super-sexy trend and hope this trend will stay with us for some time! Justyna xx

**What a show! Meadham Kirchhoff - LFW**
I have been checking the Style.com and Elle.co.uk every day since the LFW kicked off! There are so many beautiful collections out there - each day brings something new! Loving it so much! Looking at the different designers I have found that Medham Kirchhoff was one of the most interesting ones. The show took place yesterday (20th September) at the Topshop venue. Guest have found the stage set with a gothic installation of flowers, dyed eerily pink, and their seats laid with 'zine-style credit sheets, which the designers had stickered by hand with hearts and flowers!! – How amazing is that :)! The Manic Panic colours in the models' hair reinforced the grunge-era vibe, as did the makeup, which conjured the Riot Grrrls' messed-up kewpie doll look. This collection was absolutely stunning, I love the candy colours of lavender, yellow, and pink, then veering into carnal reds and blacks. A lot of work went into these pieces so congratulations and I look forward to seeing more of their work! Justyna xx

**LG at the MTV Awards**
LG at the MTV Awards by Jubas on Polyvore.com
Amazing pictures of Lady Gaga have been all over the web after the MTV Music Awards 2010 which took place in LA. I must say that again she has not disappointed us with the outfit! She wore this amazing Alexander McQueen dress which was absolutely stunning – I love her hair & make up which complement her dress perfectly! I cannot wait for the next outfit she is going to wear but I am sure she will come up with something extra ordinary! Lol, Justyna x

**Lanvin for H&M**
Amazing news! Many of us love the high street labels and now we are for a treat. One of the most recognisable fashion labels - Lanvin - is going to do a special collection for the H&M! Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin says: “H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.” :-) Bring it on!

**Corrine's Day has passed away**
A lot of us have been shocked by the recent news about Corrine’s Day death - a famous British photographer. She was best-known for discovering Kate Moss on the pages of The Face in 1990. The news was posted on Elite London’s blog on Saturday.
Her images shaped a fashion generation for good and we all will remember her as a amazing and talented lady!
Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
