Katie Carter Fashion Diary

I met the lovely Katie Carter outside the Armand Basi One show at London Fashion week where she looked stunning ! I simply had to snap her for my LFW street style blog diary. After spotting her around a few more shows I asked her to keep a clothes diary of herself for a week, documenating what she was wearing and where she was wearing it. Katie being the wonderful bubbly person she was, agreed and I recieved a string of emails not too long ago with a full account of her inspirational style. Katie, I love you + I'll be seeing in Brick Lane on the Sunday !
