I’m really quite ill at the moment – a cough-cold turned into what I think was flu which then developed into some kind of horrendous sickness bug. Throw in a few extra maladies which I won’t go into and you have a thoroughly broken-down Ruth. I feel as though my body has given up on me this week and it’s most disconcerting. I write this with a pounding head and an emergency bucket to the side of me (the cat is currently asleep in it, but it’s clean, thank goodness) and I couldn’t be less glamorous. I can barely move more than my arms so I’m doing a cheat’s post today and giving you the vlog that I made for London Fashion Week. I filmed an entire day (the Saturday) so that you could get a taste of the hectic atmosphere and the energy behind the shows.

The jumper I’m wearing above is from Gant – I borrowed it from Halpern PR’s showroom because I was freezing but you can see more of that if you watch the video. If you’re reading via email then you’ll need to click here to view the vlog.
