Word on the street: LFW

From velvet tux blazers worn with polka dot slip dresses to metallic slogan jackets teamed with suede, black vinyl skirts, blue lipstick, and fluffy shoes, bags... everything, forget the catwalks. The streets during fashion week are the place to nab serious style inspiration.

Watching, snapping, scrolling through photos of showgoers (and non-showgoers) bringing their A-game to the street is one of my favourite things about fashion month. It's also sort of the only legit time it’s ‘OK' to people watch.

In collaboration with Farfetch, I've rounded up are some of the best ensembles to hit the streets of London.

Let me know your faves x

A Star Print Affair

Show me an eye-catching print and I'm all over it. And there is something about a starry print piece that just makes my stomach flip. A quirkier alternative to florals don't you think? When I stumbled upon this dress on ASOS.com I knew I had to have it!

The dress is true to size but it does have a low neckline and seen as I'm not particularly blessed in the bust area department (flat-chested girl problems), I did have to pop down to my alterations guys to adjust the straps and bust area.

I teamed my dress with my fave floppy hat, suede pointy lace-up boots, a faux leather quilted jacket (that I recently rediscovered) and round frame red sunnies.

Star print is not always easy to pull off, but the easy-breezy silhouette + double side slits on this maxi = winner!

The lovely folk at ASOS have only gone and marked this down to an eye-popping £9!!! (Scream!).Which is good for you but not so good for me as I did pay full price (Grr). So if you're feeling this dress as much as I am, I suggest you get clicking and 'Add to bag'. (#Justsayin').

These Streets will make you feel brand new...

I love a good bit of street art! The appeal? The unpredictability, the creativity, the grittiness...and when done well, it really can reach out and er, touch your soul if you know what I mean?
So when my friend Daniel (who happens to also be an amazing photographer), told me about a tunnel that he had recently discovered, packed with the coolest graffiti, well we had to go and check it out and of course dress for the occasion.

The results...

Street Style Swagger

I always get asked by people to sum up my style and I answer by saying that my style is a reflection of my personality; playful, quirky and unpredictable. I like to take a trend and spin it on its head by giving it what I call a 'Sheena twist'. I happily love playing with colour, texture and print and creating mix and mashups that probably shouldn't work, but do. More importantly, I never leave my house without the most important accessory; CONFIDENCE!!!

This brings me on to my look in this post. I picked up this glitzy jacket at a vintage sale last year. I rumbled through one of the bargain boxes (I love a good ol' vintage rummage) at the sale and I was happy when I discovered this beauty. It has stand - out written all over it, don't you think? Oh, did I mention that it was only £1? 

It is a great thrown on jacket, so I threw it on over a black, strappy chiffon dress and a pair of black and white aztec boots, not forgetting a bright pink pout (Sheena standard).

As spring has finally sprung, I am super excited to put away all things winter (goodbye, chunky knitwear and heavy faux fur coats) and dig out all things spring (hello, lightweight knitwear, strappy, print dresses, and lots and lots of colour; bright and pastels). I have a few events and fun stuff coming up this month, and I am back to blogging more regularly, so be sure to keep an eye on the blog and the social media accounts, Twitter and Instagram and Facebook

Only girl in the world

I love to have fun with fashion and applaud people who do the same! This is probably one of the reasons I am mad about Rihanna, as she likes to flirt hardcore with fashion. You never know what fashion concoction she will step out in next. 

Currently in London town on her Diamonds tour (which I've heard was AHHH-MAZING), she has been snapped in lots of yummy outfits. My favourite is this outfit (below). I found my self  gushing big time over the Stella McCartney, sequin backless top!!!! This look is the perfect blend of street style meets high-end glam which Ri Ri does so well.

What do you think of this look?
