Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/2013....Doina and Caroline

Doina from The Golden Diamonds blog, and Tank magazine's Caroline Issa, Paris, March 2012.

Two ways with furry boots and leather-trimmed black coats via the beautiful Doina and Caroline. Wear with jeans like Doina (Apres-ski anyone?) or team with leather trousers like Caroline. 

Recreate their looks (kind of):

Black leather-trimmed coat: Mackage side zip leather and fur coat with tie, Rag & Bone Scalpel shearling trimmed coat, Preen knife felt coat with leather sleeves, Helmut Lang Willow Shawl neck coat, Diane von Furstenberg Nadine luxe faux fur and leather coat, Mackage wool coat with leather sleeves,  ASOS PU biker coat (in black) or Ashley B Fur mix jacket

Leather pants: J Brand super skinny leather pants, Joseph Spark stretch-leather pants, Vince relaxed leather pants, Maison Martin Margiela tapered leather pants, Topshop leather look biker trousers or ASOS skinny leather biker pants

Fur-trimmed boots:Alexander McQueen shearling and leather boots, Max Kibardin Avalon fur booties, Walter Steiger fur panel ankle boots, Donna Karan shearling trimmed ankle boots, or Chinese Laundry faux fur trimmed suede boots

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Doina

Super sweet Doina from The Golden Diamonds blog, before Rick Owens, Paris, March 2012.

I wish I could shoot in this type of light every day.....it was a fleeting 5 minute moment before the show when the sun peeped out from behind the clouds.

Recreate Doina's beautiful winter look (kind of):

Vero Moda Very lace overlay top, Dolce & Gabbana lace and cashmere top, Juicy Couture leather detailed lace top, ASOS heavy lace top with peplum, Kaelen seamed lace top 

Add a shiny, happy skirt:

Creatures of The Wind brocade skirt, ASOS Premium trumpet mini skirt, Kenzo pleated brocade mini skirt, Marc Jacobs metallic boucle skirt

If you prefer a dress (I can't quite work out whether Doina's is a dress or a top and skirt), these two dresses have a similar feel and both incorporate lace: Catherine Deane Maria dress or Of Two Minds Dinorah dress


Ankle boots: Burberry Prorsum ankle boots, Michael Michael Kors ankle boots or River Island Ombro boots

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Doina

Doina Ciobanu from The Golden Diamonds blog, before Stella McCartney, Paris, March 2012.

Lemon + duck egg blue. The colours of Doina's outfit reminds me of ice-cold lemon gelato, small (the tinier the better of course ;) boxes from Tiffany & Co., a towering pyramid of pastel coloured macaroons, bars of lemon scented soap, bunches of forget-me-nots, a bottle of Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass perfume, a robin's nest filled with tiny pale blue jewel like eggs....

Recreate Doina's look (kind of):

Free People Marl yarn pullover, ASOS two tone sweater, Sass & Bide The Driving Seat sweater or Vince sweater

J Brand aqua Luxe twill pants, Rebecca Minkoff turquoise Nicolas pants, Ellery Scuba Tux pants or Theory Yanette pants

Tibi Stella sandals
