I was invited by Westfield London to check out their big west letters and then challenged to find an outfit to match!

Undaunted by my task, and armed with a £150 giftcard, I set about scouring some of my favourite stores: Urban Outfitters, Topshop, Zara, and Cos, looking for pieces that would make my wardrobe’s transition from spring/summer to autumn/winter, as painless as possible.

I found this incredible over-sized (big is better) Dree tie-waist coat in pale pink by Won Hundred at Urban Outfitters, worn over a Bella v-back dress by Carin Wester.

Next I moved on to Cos - I love this store! It’s such a pleasure to shop in. It’s all colour coordinated, so you can find things really easily! I spotted this very beautiful raw-cut pale blue wool coat hanging on the rail.

My next stop was one of my all-time favourite go-to places. Topshop. The store at Westfield London is pretty generously sized and is full of new autumn/winter goodies! I picked out a few pale blue and mint green pieces to try on for size and an amazing printed kimono to throw on over the top. I paired a pale blue casual chambray shirt with a floral print pleated midi skirt to create a look that I would wear to work.

The wheel lace crop dress in mint was very pretty too, but quite summery, so I wasn’t sure how much wear I would get out of it. The fantasy print kimono of the other hand is something that I would wear all year round. I love the bold pattern and autumnal hues and it also looks fab worn over the two-tone lace midi dress. I opted for the midi dress as it’s a flattering length and will do perfectly for my friend’s wedding.

After picking up a couple of pieces in Topshop, and these magic zip-front boots. I then popped into Zara to try on an embroidered mustard yellow dress. It first caught my eye a couple of weeks ago when my friend Sophie and I went to the Zara store in Chelsea. I decided that it absolutely needed to come with me on my birthday trip to Paris and bought it immediately.

So, all in all, a pretty successful shopping trip and colour coordinated to match the #westldn sign! I can’t recommend heading to Westfield London on a Friday evening enough! It’s so much quieter than going at the weekend and there are practically no queues. Bliss!

If you’re heading to Westfield London soon, be sure to tag your photos with #westldn to be in with the chance of winning some very cool prizes. Read more about it on their website.
