Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Elena

Elena Perminova, after Stella McCartney, Paris, March 2012.

Love this outfit on Elena - sure, there is a lot going on (patterns, patent/shiny fabric, statement flowers, colour) but somehow she makes it all work together cohesively. To me, it is the sort of inspiring outfit where you can find at least one piece that you really love and could see working in your own wardrobe. Personally, I love Elena's floral neckpiece - so very beautiful.

Recreate Elena's look (kind of):

Some cute shorty shorts: Rory Beca Orissa silk running shorts, or  Anna Sui printed silk shorts

Jil Sander open toe heels (in white) or Camilla Skovgaard Roller sandals

Michael by Michael Kors blush pink clutch

London Fashion Week AW 2012...Donna

Donna Wallace, British Elle's Accessories Editor, before A Show, London, February 2012.

Love this casual, vaguely sporty look on Donna....especially that Burberry cap! Another look you could wear easily in "real life".

 
Recreate Donna's look (kind of):

 
Preen Line Pie Crust chambray shirt (with subtle frills on the double-collar, cuffs and yoke back), Current/Elliott The Perfect (denim) shirt, Denim & Supply by Ralph Lauren chambray shirt

Nike Lady Cortez trainers (in 3 fun colours) or Alexander Wang Dillon sneakers

Burberry Prorsum striped pom-pom cap

London Fashion Week AW 2012....Eugenia

Eugenia Silva,before Christopher Kane, London, February 2012.

An oversized clutch is fab way to introduce a pop of colour to an outfit....and it is practical as well!

Edit: Thanks everyone for letting me know that this is Spanish model Eugenia Silva! She is absolutely stunning.
Recreate Eugenia's look (kind of):

Sass & Bide The Whimsy Bag (great combination of neon yellow, orange and silver plus it has a useful shoulder strap if you prefer to wear it on your shoulder),  ASOS turquoise oversized envelope clutch or Versus pale pink and black oversized clutch (love the sporty/utility feel of this one)


Dannijo for Vena Cava gold choker, Vanessa Mooney Akasha necklace

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Before Stella McCartney

Sharp, sleek and crisp, a white suit always looks current no matter what the season.

Keeping it pristine clean and white, however, is another matter entirely (bravo if you own and wear a white suit and have kidlets. Sticky little hands + white = a tricky combination) although the fashion editors/buyers/stylists rarely seem to have this issue (don't ask me how, they just don't!).

Wearing separates - a lovely crisp white blazer with jeans or a pair of off-white wide-leg summer weight trousers with a tank and espadrilles - halves the white induced anxiety levels :)

Recreate her fresh summery look (kind of):

Acne Tate silk-crepe blazer (with sheer back panel for interest + cooling capabilities!),  Joseph Sir stretch blazer, Thakoon suiting blazer (in ivory) or Topshop Ponte boyfriend blazer

Alice + Olivia Eric pants or Sandro pants

Sara for Grazia.it

Sara Donaldson for Grazia.it.

Sara is the last of my Aussie girls that I photographed in Australia last November (eep! This post is long overdue). Head on over to Grazia to read Sara's interview including where she shops, the girls' whose style she finds so inspiring and her idea of a perfect day in Sydney.

 
I met beautiful Sara (who is a Brisbane→Sydney girl like me) when we both went to Australian Fashion Week in May 2010. When I knew I was heading back to Sydney last year, I asked Sara if she would be up for me photographing her for Grazia.it. Happily, she agreed!


Sara, a digital Account Executive with Westfield, Australia, has the gorgeous blog Harper and Harley which she began just over 3 years ago. The name? Sara explains  'Harper and Harley' came about because I adore those two names and would love to name my children or pets Harper and/or Harley. It also rolls off the tongue quite nicely, and I like a touch of alliteration"  (how sweet is that!).


Sara's describes her style as laid back chic and she combines vintage and eBay finds with pieces from international designers and Australian labels such as Zimmermann, Camilla and Marc and One Teaspoon, with pieces from high street stores such as Witchery, Sportsgirl, ASOS and Zara.


Sara's outfits for this shoot?

Beautiful pink jumpsuit from Zimmermann

Pink shirt from Zara, denim shorts from One Teaspoon

Pale blue dress from Camilla and Marc

White shirt from Sportsgirl

Red trousers from ASOS

p.s. How cool is that car?! It wasn't Sara's (it was just parked on her street) so we were slightly nervous about the owner coming out and yelling at us. Luckily that didn't happen!
