AFW: Other Schtuff [Day 5]

So, the last day of Adam Fashion Week is upon us, and it's been a blast. It may sound very '70's, but honestly, I've had a lot of fun this week. Just putting that time aside each night to go a bit nuts typing 'I LIKE THIS TOP' over and over again has been just what was needed.

Now some of you will have noticed that the site has changed a wee bit too. I felt that seeing as I had a new lease of life with GMOAI, so should the site itself. Gone are the bland, boring colours, and in are the... bland, boring colours. Trust me, it's better than the tangerine and red mixture tried last night...

Anyway, as the last day tears roll down your faces, I thought I'd try and cover everything I've missed so far. It's a good'un, if I say so myself.

So, there's a combination of the Shit Drawer, and pending your football allegiance, my Man United shirts. Swap as you wish... There's a lot of T-shirts there that were brought back from holidays, and pretty much only come out on holidays too. And those United shirts are the latest couple I own, alongside an LA Galaxy shirt with Becks on the back. He's a babe, I'm a babe. Clearly.

But hang on - if I'm such a huge United fan, where are the rest of them? Oh wait, here they are.

9 more of them, and that was all I could get hold of in one handful. Imelda Marcos has shoes, I have United shirts. And shorts. And shirts.

So what's left? Coats are few and far between - there's a thick Next winter coat, my lightweight Gap khaki thing, and a River Island mac that looks like I'm gonna flash someone every time I pull it on. And then there's shoes. Very embarrassing ones too.

Yes, I own Crocs. Shameful, I know. Horrifically shameful. I plan to hurt myself for this sin later. There's also a pair of Converse, a pair of brown and a pair of black. Oh, not to mention some have-a-bananas Havaianas. And that's my wardrobe.

So that leaves one final action for AFW. Today's outfit - a light blue baggy jumper, teamed with tattered jeans and Havaianas. And seeing as I was covered in two-tonne of different aftershaves from The Perfume Shop, I felt cool. Good enough for me.

So thankyou for sticking to AFW this week. It's the start of fashion blogging, and you can find all that kinda stuff using the 'GMOAI Style' link at the top. Trust me, my fashion diary over the next few months will be well worth a giggle. Even if it's plainly aimed at me, and not with me. Deal?

Deal.

AFW: Shorts [Day 4]

With plenty of exciting things planned for GMOAI, life seems good. Well, my life's alright, but GMOAI is going great. You'll notice a few changes over the coming weeks - first one being the rather wonderful page headings up top, to help you get to where you want even easier. You're welcome.

And with that came hot weather, because it's obvious that when I'm happy, the weather is. I say hot - it hit 12°C, so that was my cue to get the shorts out and swap to my summer wardrobe.

I couldn't care less whether it was cold or not - I pulled on some shorts, and I felt happy. I felt summery, and it was a good feeling. And it's bloody February.

But my short collection is hardly small. And *exclusively* for AFW, here it is. And that''s just half.

Lovely, eh? Of all the clothes I own, I own one thing that is designer, and it's what I wore today - my teal pinstriped Tommy Hilfiger shorts. I like these. Mainly because of the cool pocket lining. Oh, and the fact they're designer.

But I own far too many pairs. I have a 29-inch waist, but because I liked them, I bought a pair that had a 36-inch waist, and thought I'd wear it with a belt. Except now, when I wear them, I look a little excited to see everyone. Cheers Hollister. (I've sensed this week just how much I own from Hollister. The official scale back starts today. Maybe.)

Now, as everyone does, there's always pieces that have no known brand on them, but just look nice. And bearing in mind I have a wardrobe made up of 95% of them, there's plenty of these. There's a nice pair of Zoo York blue checked, a few khaki that just go with everything, a couple more checked, theres... Well, you can see for yourself. A pair of shorts for every occasion.

Now London Fashion Week was all about Autumn/Winter '11 collections, so there were no shorts involved. Only stoopid people wear shorts in the winter. So me.

Today's outfit combined my gorgeously wonderful Tommy Hilfiger shorts, and yet another Hollister T-shirt. I can't seem to help myself, annoyingly. I need to expand my wardrobe. A lot.

AFW: Sweaters and Knitwear [Day 3]

So we continue on our trek into Adam Fashion Week, as the gates shut for the final time on London Fashion Week 2011. And what a week it's been - beautiful collections from the cream of the crop from Britain. Makes you want to grab that Geri Halliwell-style dress with the Union Jack on it, and prance about in the middle of town. Obviously.

Finally getting home brings a decent internet connection, and a decent internet connection brings sadness, seeing as I can't buy my wonderfully pretentious wish lists on every fashion website known to man. And woman.

I tell you one thing though - there is a lot of excitement surrounding Autumn/Winter '11, and with cold weather comes sweaters and knitwear. Linking me very, very nicely (and ever so slightly conveniently) to today's topic for AFW.

Now today at LFW was Menswear Day, and so out came all the various collections that were to attempt to impress all the blokes, but just excited the women as every man did the normal blokey thing of 'Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's great.' But knitwear in A/W '11 will be long, bright, and a bit weedy, if you get what I mean. Nothing chunky, but it'll look like it's dripping off your arse.

That became apparent from James Long's catwalk show, where each piece of knitwear looked a little like this...

See and download the full gallery on posterous

Or what about Omar Kashoura's show, where they all looked like this...

See and download the full gallery on posterous

Now my knitwear is hardly sumptuous, but I have a jumper for every occasion. And yes, hoodies count. There's my now infamous cashmere-blend grey jumper from Next, my Hollister long-collared pullover, there's a Hollister hoodie or two hiding somewhere, a couple of nice blue Gap sweaters, and then we have Adam's ultimate bad buy. This won't ever be bettered - it's just a horrific, horrific buy that will inevitably embarrass me several times in my life. I suggest you shield your eyes.

An H&M pea green sweater, that is even worse in real-life. I've just been burnt from just picking it up, it's that bad.

But we'll gloss over that as quickly as we possibly can. Today's outfit consisted of ripped Levi jeans, a generic grey most-definitely-not-another-Hollister-tee-but-secretly-another-Hollister-tee under an orange and blue checked Hollister shirt, off-white Converse, and a collection of bags that between Isobel and I, made Mariah Carey look like she'd packed light.

I'm a little obsessed with Hollister. It's more of an addiction. I don't want any more, but I have to keep buying it. But, bear in mind I personally haven't bought a piece of clothing in 6 months. Bastard bank accounts.

Pictures from the catwalks very kindly pinched from the official London Fashion Week website. Ta dahlings.
