Blogging break in Kassiopi

Shock, horror! JK is taking a break from blogging?!

As my coursemates and close friends will appreciate, I never seem to take a break from Unlimited by JK, due in part to being a workaholic. However, I will be flying to Corfu for a two-week holiday tomorrow, which means I cannot maintain my blog on such a regular basis. Do not worry, I will still be scheduling content for you to read and review, although every other day instead of daily.

I do hope you have enjoyed my daily blog posts over the past three months. It is amazing how proactive I have been to get so many photos, even if it has lightened my wallet. Daily blogging will resume from Saturday 1st September and shall hopefully continue for many months, following the much anticipated London Fashion Week.

In the meantime, a final request for you to vote for Unlimited by JK in the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards. If you did not see my previous blog post and many tweets, my blog has been shortlisted for "best established fashion blog", which is fantastic recognition. So if you can spare two minutes, please visit the Cosmopolitan UK website and vote!

Anyway, you will hear from me soon enough. Enjoy the rest of your summer. I will come back with lots of photos to share, maybe even a rare shot of me in my swimming trunks. But we shall see. Toodle-pip!

of the jewellery she hopes to someday sell at the Boscombe Vintage Market.

Gentleman in Soho, London

Hugh is my favourite person to have photographed, not only for his impeccable style, but for his friendly and charming character. As talkative as he was dapper, we had a conversation on the street corner for more than twenty minutes, from which I learnt that he is a Park Ranger in Croydon, studied biochemistry at university, understands Latin, and (unsurprisingly) values the importance of face-to-face conversation.

He wears a Burberry coat, Ben Sherman suit, waistcoat from Paris, shoes from
Foster & Son, shirt from Emma Willis (with collar by Budd), Churchill classic bow tie
from Turnbull & Asser, and hat from Bates. He could not tell me where his umbrella
originated, however did suggest the best shop for quality umbrellas is 'James Smith
& Son' on New Oxford Street. A fashionable and most interesting gentleman; it was
a true pleasure to have made his acquaintance one sunny afternoon in London.

Jersey girl, Hyde Park

Emma flew from Jersey to gather at the recent bloggers' picnic in Hyde Park - that's
dedication for you! She is a blogger at 'Jersey and the Monkey', while her day job is

Vero Moda top, Mulberry bag, Ray Ban sunglasses, and an Ice watch.

How to apply for LFW invitations

(Updated 12th January 2013 - revised for A/W 13)

London Fashion Week is the UK's biggest and most coveted fashion event, where press and industry professionals converge on Somerset House to preview Britain's top designer collections. For fashion bloggers in particular, the semi-annual event is a wonderland, as proven by the 900 bloggers who applied for accreditation at S/S 13. But the truth of the matter is that designers cannot accommodate 900 bloggers at their shows. So here are a few steps to securing those coveted catwalk show invites.

▶ Find out which dates you are available. LFW runs for five days from Friday to Tuesday, so make sure you check the show schedule to see which shows you can attend. There are also shows and presentations at off-schedule events, such as Fashion Scout, which are easier to apply for.

▶ Registering with London Fashion Week for a blogger pass will not admit you into the shows. A pass only confirms your accreditation and permits you to enter the exhibition areas of Somerset House.

▶ For each designer's page on the LFW and FS websites, find the e-mail address for the press contact - this is who you need to speak with. In your e-mail, clearly request which designer's show or presentation you wish to attend. PR departments are often external to the designer, and a single press contact may serve more than one. Equally make sure that you have spelt the designer's name correctly.

▶ Invites to shows are free, but you need to sell yourself. Explain who you are, include a visible link to your blog, mention relevant statistics - such as last month's hits or unique visitor count - and any praise or awards you have received as a blogger.

▶ Be clear on how many invites you want. It is often best to ask for just the one, but some designers will accommodate an extra invite for a "colleague". Also remember to provide a postal address to which all physical invites will be delivered.

▶ And finally, apply for as many shows and presentations as you can attend. You will receive rejections, and some designers may not even get back to you, but the more shows you apply for, the more invites you are likely to receive.

(I am not a London Fashion Week expert, I am just happy to help out another blogger. But if you require any more advice or clarification, you can tweet me: @unlimitedbyjk.)

Chris was visiting family in Bournemouth for the weekend. On the Saturday in

shorts and sunglasses, braces and shirt from charity shops, and his watch was
purchased at a vintage market, but has since stopped working.

Bags of Love

My aim in the long run is to turn Unlimited by JK into a recognisable brand, rather than purely a fashion blog. At present, it does not get much better than flashing my logo (or trademark, as it were) on a personalised shopper bag.

Courtesy of 'Bags of Love', a company specialising in personalised gifts, the bag has the Unlimited by JK logo superimposed onto its canvas sides - a sure albeit subtle means of promoting myself while out and about. After all, a trademark or logo tends to be more memorable and iconic than the name of the brand it emblamatises.

However, my blog's logo was not the only image I considered having printed onto the shopper bag. Bags of Love did offer me an unlimited choice, that being any photo I sent them. If you try their service for yourself, you will find you can upload virtually any image to feature on their range of products. Hence I toyed with the idea of having my favourite street style photo printed onto a laptop case.

But evidently, the shopper bag won me over. Its dimensions are 35cm x 35cm x 13cm, which provides ample space for my computer and camera equipment (ideal for London Fashion Week!), or even for a spot of high street shopping. The bag is also made with my choice of black patent vinyl, plus black leather handles, making it strong as well as stylish.

I suppose one could say this shopper bag is one-of-a-kind, which is perhaps the greatest benefit of any personalised product. So thank you, Bags of Love, for gifting me with such a lovely accessory. I look forward to taking it for a spin.
