UCL: UNBELIEVABLY COOL LOOKS. UCL STYLE FINDER TELLS YOU WHY....

Walking through the UCL campus or strutting around LFW AW 10/11 (or in layman's terms London Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2010/2011)? An easy confusion to make. Wandering down the cloisters is much like walking a runway (think Louis Vuitton AW 10/11 show in the courtyard of the Louvre, Paris) and grabbing a bench by the windows like getting front row. Wander down through South Junction to The Print Room cafe for the after party and you won't be disappointed in your fashion expectations. But if you can't make it due to prior comittements in Paris or Milan, fear no more for UCL Style Finder (SF) is here to keep you mododivas more up to date than a tasseled shearling military look jacket by bringing you regular posts of the hot looks SF has managed to snap gracing the UCL runway. Totally subjective, totally fabulous.

WHAT SF SAW THIS WEEK....

Whilst the temperature has been dropping the style has only been hotting up and the opportunities that winter brings in the form of coats, boots and this season's front runner's shearling and fur (faux of course darling) have been seized with vigour all over campus.

 WHERE? At the MODO bootsale in South Junction.
WHAT? The bag - vintage
 WHY? SF loved the red leather bag for its vibrant yet classic colour, understated glamour and a la mode satchel come envelope vinatge clutch

WHAT ABOUT ME? Find similar styles at Portabello Market and Beyond Retro which has several stores in London Find a Beyond Retro Near You! or Rokit in Covent Garden Rokit bag shop online

 WHERE? At the MODO bootsale in South Junction.
WHAT? The coat and the bag... oh the whole look!

 WHY? SF can't get enough of FUR this season - warm and oh so glam. And you can't go wrong with an old skool brown satchel


WHAT ABOUT ME? Alas this mododiva told us her jacket was from a market in Jordan and the bag from a flea market in paris (of course) so unless you're chartering a jet, try markets in London (Portabello, various in East London, and SF's favourite: Battersea Bootfair on a Sunday - more on this later...) or as mentioned above Rokit or Beyond Retro

WHERE? Torrington Place
WHAT? The bag -FURRRR
 WHY? Fur is in this season and is all over the high street like Willow Smith on the catwalk front rows. Here we see it on a bag, fierce, and finishing off the collar of a jacket gorgeously

WHAT ABOUT METry Topshop 
or any other Oxford Street institution!
