February 2012′s London Fashion Week was one of the best yet, with blistering collections from some of our favourite designers. But, gorgeous as those collections were, it was the everyday fashionistas hanging out around Somerset House who caught our eye.

White Out
While bold prints and pastels have been hugely popular this season, nothing symbolises summer quite like white. It was dazzling, bright white which stole the show at the Spring/Summer 2012 fashion weeks. All-white pieces floated down the catwalks, with delicate and sheer fabric demonstrating how when worn well, all white can be romantic and feminine. Although this trend is somewhat impractical , the chic and fresh look you’ll achieve by wearing it is worth it. Read more and view our pick of the key pieces for a white wardrobe…

TOWIE Georgina Dorsett – Get the Look
Whether you love or hate The Only Way Is Essex, you can still take some style inspiration from certain stars of the show. TOWIE newcomer Georgina Dorsett caught our eye with her laid back and glamorous style. Just like fellow Essex gal Lydia Bright, she steers away from the stereotypical bodycon dresses and plunging necklines. Georgina’s signature look is simple and chic – skinny jeans paired with a basic vest, given a glam twist with sky high heels and an oversized tote bag. To get her look combine nude and blush pink vests with tight jeans and nude platforms. Accessorize with a bold necklace and pop on a pair of dark-rimmed geek glasses to add a bit of quirkiness to the outfit.
