Hannah wears the Colour Panel Skirt with a red boob tube and denim waistcoat from Beyond Retro and Buffalo Boots (stylists own).

Thanks to Past Caring on Essex Road who allowed us to take these photographs in their vintage furniture store.

This skirt will be available to purchase at our SS12 Collection Launch Party at our store on 19 Fouberts Place tomorrow evening.

With the help of partner in crime Laura of fabiennedesfleurs.blogspot.com, we’ve been style spotting, show watching and celeb snapping, with a bit of after partying thrown in.

Here are some of our highlights.

TANK TOP-RANKING TONGUE TIED & TWISTED

The biggest highlight of our time at LFW had to be Fred Butler’s AW12 presentation at Somerset House on Monday. We were luckier enough to sit front row where we got an eyeful of her latest collection inspired by a quilted ski jacket and the colours of Sushi.

This season Fred has teamed up with knitwear label EDE England to design a range of hand knitted jumpers, knickers and mittens. We can’t even begin to tell you how in love we are with these.

Key accessory pieces from the collection include this delicious plaited head piece and matching belt.

Sticking to her signature rainbow colour scheme, Fred has designed a range of studded accessories, most notably this head band fit for an empress.

For the second season, Fred has collaborated with friend of the oafs and mega talented maker Rosy Nicholas who designed a collection of incredible french knit shoes.

Singer Charli XCX performed a bespoke track throughout the presentation.

Forever the shoe stalker, I couldn’t keep my eyes off Charli’s platform black boots. The photo doesn’t do them justice believe me.

In tune with the colour palette, Fred treated her guests with a tray of Sushi cupcakes made by Pomp De Franc. Mixing cream, coconut and jelly sweets, these cakes were irresistible and consequently consumed within 10 minutes after the show.

The FROW

There is no denying that one of the most exciting things about London Fashion Week is checking out who is on the front row and that is exactly what we were doing at the Vivienne Westwood Show.

Sadie Frost certainly created a spectacle attending with her younger daughter.

We were surprised to find top chef Heston Blumenthal checking out the show near blonde bombshell singer Rita Ora.

Our photographs of the show itself don’t do the collection justice but we did manage to capture Dame Vivienne Westwood clutching a stunning bouquet of red roses.

This model still worked the cameras after the show letting us get a closer look at her Westwood body ink.

PAPA, PAPARAZZI

The trend for spotting famous faces continued; above we caught Alexa Chung leaving the Marios Schwab show on Sunday.

Nicola Roberts wore a billowing blouse dress to the Topshop Unique show.

Here we snapped Saturday’s singer and Lazy Oaf fan Mollie King heading into see Fashion East.

YOU GOT STYLE

Any clothes lover will agree that one of the best things about fashion week is checking out what everyone is wearing. This lady above definitely caught our eye in her neon pink shaggy coat and fur shoes at Christopher Kane.

We were totally won over by these leopard print panel platform trainers. We think they might be from Office and we think we might need a pair.

In keeping with the fluro trend was this mans luminous orange PVC mack, ideal for wearing in the wetter weather that hit the show on Saturday (good thing we packed our waterproofs).

It was lovely to bump into previous Lazy Oaf model and all round stylish gal Naomi Shimada who caught our eye in all-white Dr. Martens.

This lady really had an eye for colour, we were particularly taken by her tartan trousers.

I bought a bit of oaf to the week in my brand new Flower Boobs T-shirt worn under a big, and very necessary, fur collared coat.

WINNER: ALEKSANDRA NIEPSUJ

“All the love goes to my buoyant, barking in the dark, ex-roommate, who stays secretly missed.”

Aleksandra has totally gone against the conventional Valentine’s card with this design which was right up our street. We love her use of visual contrast mixing this dark illustration with the candy pink background and her witty caption definitely made us laugh.

It was her unique drawing style that really won our hearts and we’d recommend you check out her blog aleksandraniepsuj.blogspot.com to see more where this came from.

Aleksandra is the winner of a £50 Lazy Oaf voucher to spend online.

RUNNER UP: JULIA FARKAS

“I’m sending this card to my Panda with love!”

We were instantly drawn to the bright colours and attention to detail of Julia’s entry. We like to think of it as a kind of modern day, slightly obscure Lady and the Tramp (anyone remember the spaghetti scene?)

RUNNER UP: LAURA CALLAGHAN

“This card is for all my fellow singletons to remind them of the heinously awkward social interactions they’ll be avoiding at this time of year-feel smug my friends.“

Anyone going on a first date tonight should have a proper look at Laura’s card, it is very true, and also hilarious. We’ve all met a Cliff Fibster in our time. Have a look at more of her illustrations at www.lauralaurapicturedrawer.blogspot.com.

Both Laura and Julia win a £25 Lazy Oaf voucher to spend online.

May we send all of our love to everyone who entered, you made our little hearts melt and you’ve certainly done St. Valentine proud. So whether you’ve got a romantic date with a lover or one with your remote control this evening, we’d like to wish you a happy val day, you deserve it.

This Monday the Lazy Oaf team packed up a capsule collection of designs and headed over to private members club Shoreditch House to host an all day pop-up shop followed by an evening of animation fun.

We transformed The Snug into a mini Lazy Oaf store complete with glittered letters, a life size hot dog and our latest range of clothing and accessories.

Here is a first look at some of our latest badges that will soon feature as part of our Mystery Badge Packs and be available to buy individually in our store at £1 each.

We had to share this hot chocolate with you that Steph got, it came with its own jug of pure melted chocolate and tasted divine.

We didn’t bring a Minnie Mouse Cushion, Timmy Mallet’s mallet and inflatable eye ball for nothing, these all acted as props for our evening activity.

With the help of a white wall, tripod and some giant paper pencils, we set up our own mini studio ready to photograph guests in five frames bringing their photos to life with a personalised animation, each complete with an Lazy Oaf touch of course.

Obviously our staff couldn’t resist in getting in on the action, here is Jerry getting attacked by the jewelled owl.

Steph also fell victim of a bird attack, it’s definitely not the season for guls.

Gemma cracked a smile or two with the help of the best pair of bats we’ve ever seen.

Paul covered his face with every prop going.

Maria finds comfort in our homemade cushions.

Shevone got hungry.

This is what we think a modern day Conga would look like.

This guy, Ed, impressed us by showing up in his classic Oaf Skull Skater T-shirt and Burger Hat.

Feeling dizzy yet?

Thanks to everyone who came and saw us, we had lots of fun meeting you.

Talking of events, everyone should keep 23rd February free as this evening will host the launch of our SS12 collection in store.
