New York Fashion Week SS 2012

NYC, September 2011.

I have been doing touristy things in London this week (a Jack the Ripper tour with London Walks and a tour of Greenwich which is where the Equestrian for the Olympics will be held) with one of my best friend's from Australia and there is definitely a buzz and excitement in the air.....with lots of bunting still up from the Jubilee celebrations, final Olympics preparations underway, Royal Ascot last week and Wimbledon starting tomorrow....it is a fabulous time to be in London!

In the spirit of all the sporting events hitting the capital in the next month, I found this photograph from September last year in NYC. I love how she has teamed her souvenir sweatshirt from the US Open with Chanel!

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Natalie and Hanneli

Natalie and Hanneli, after Yigal Azrouël, NYC, September 2011.

Although this was taken in the middle of the Meatpacking District, I just keep thinking that both these outfits would work so well for evening on a (glamorous) summer vacation (clearly not for those hiking Mount Etna as one of my best friend's has just done!). Think warm, sultry evenings in Santorini or on the Côte d’Azur....team with flat sandals for a more relaxed look.
