We invited blogger Lily Melrose down to London Fashion Week to catch all the action at the Autumn/Winter Giles catwalk show. Lily got chatting to the hair and makeup teams, as well as stylist Katie Grand and Giles himself!
Find out how she got on in the video below…

Want to update your wardrobe for Spring/Summer 2011 but not sure where to start?
Check out the behind-the-scenes look at our Press Day featuring voxpops from bloggers, fashion journalists and the NL team. It’s a great way to get up to speed on the trends for this season.
Fashion blogger Lily Melrose was picked to be our guest presenter for London Fashion Week, we sent her to the Giles show at the impressive Royal Courts of Justice in London to cover all the action backstage. Watch out for the video coming very soon.
Before preparations for the show got underway we let her loose in our Oxford Street store and this is what she picked. Doesn’t she look great? Scroll down to get Lily’s style!

For two weeks a year all eyes are on London, as the Fashion Show train comes into town and designers get ready to show off their collections.
It’s not just the catwalks though, the front row is as much of an event as the show itself! Our pick of the front row from this season is below, we love Diana Vickers simple but stylish cardigan dress, glammed up with heels. The next look is classic Alexa, check out her diminutive bag, a microtrend for Spring.
Ex-Sugababe Keisha Buchanan rocks a gorgeous mix of corals and nude tones, the red lippie really finishes it off. Lastly Nicola Roberts does A-list chic in a bodycon dress, heels and sunnies. Love her new ombré hair!
The LOOK show is the high street event of the year, where even the crowd looks catwalk-worthy. The place was buzzing with eager fashionistas and our fab photobooth was a runaway success (more on this soon). We snapped some of the stylish people we spotted milling around on Friday, don’t you love their outfits?!
There’s only one day left till the Spring Summer 2011 LOOK show so we thought we’d bring you a sneak peek of what to expect tomorrow…
LOOK’s Deputy Fashion Editor Jodie Nellist came into our press showroom to pick our some of her favourite pieces for the catwalk event. She swooped straight for the pink and orange tunic dress saying “I love the pink dress, colour blocking is key for S/S ’11 and I’d definitely wear this.” Seems like we might be seeing this frock on the LOOK show catwalk tomorrow!
If you want to give the colour-blocking trend a go then try our tunic dresses in a range of mouthwatering colours: blue, orange or pink, which one will you pick?!
FROM LEFT>> Blue tunic dress: £26.99. Pink tunic dress: £26.99. Orange tunic dress: £26.99.
We love a laugh, and one of our favourite funnymen is Adam Buxton, one half of cult duo Adam & Joe best known for the CH4 TV show, and their hilarious 6Music radio show. Some of the NL team headed to West London’s Tabernacle, where we were treated to some of his You Tube vids, old favourites and lesser known stuff.
When faced with some technical hitches, a friendly chap called Basil came to save the day which just seemed to bring the crowd together even more! Standout support came from Jonny Sweet, definitely one to watch.
Feature Spot put on some of our favourite comedians around the big smoke, including Russell Howard, Mark Watson and Tim Minchin. For more info on venues visit the Feature Spot website for listings.
We love Valentine’s day, forget all the slushy stuff it’s just the perfect time to go OTT and wear our favourite reds and pinks. Mix it up and wear varying shades of pink, peach and red for a heart-stopping look!
