London Fashion Weekend Daks A/W 2012-13

I went to London Fashion Weekend on the 21st September to watch the Daks fashion show. We were shown a preview to the Daks Autumn Winter 2012-13 collection.
The Daks fashion show consisted of wide trousers and large overcoats. This is the first time I have seen a Daks fashion show and designer Sheila McKain-Ward did not disappoint. Quilts, pleats, tweeds and checks. Sheila McKain-Ward worked to a theme of architecture, geometry and landscapes. And she continued the brand's signature simplicity and sense of Britishness. She used a coffee coloured palatte with a later splash of red. My favourite piece was this jacket that the presenter was wearing:
The fashion show was then presented and here are some of my favourites:

Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon

I was signed up for the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon about 6 months ago. After the recent devastating news about my Dad, I decided this was even more a reason to carry on training and carry out the half marathon for him. So I was woken up on Sunday 7th October at the crack of dawn to a beautifully sunny day; Dad shining his light down on me and making sure I had nice weather for the race. I got to the event at 8.15-way to early and full of nerves but ready to run. I went and signed in at the NSPCC charity spot, since I was raising money for the NSPCC. I then went to my designated start area and had to wait around for 20 minutes in the bitter cold! The race horn then went off and the race started. I completed the course in 1 hour 57 minutes, a time which I was very happy with since I was expecting just under 2 and a half hours!
