London Fashion Week AW 2012...MJ

 

Beautiful Aussie model MJ, Somerset House, London, February 2012. 

Easy hair (even I could manage this one I think!) inspiration for this week.... and a lesson in how to dress down a lace top. Team with black jeans and a pair of boots as MJ has done. 

Recreate MJ's Look (kind of):

Take a lace top: Nanette Lepore Cotillion lace top, Ellery Celtic lace tee with leather sleeves, Rory Beca Alegre lace top, Anna Sui embellished lace top or Paul & Joe Sister Cristof short sleeved lace top

Team with a pair of Rag & Bone/JEAN high rise skinny jeans

Dr Martens modern classics 1460 boots

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Chiharu

Beautiful Japenese model Chiharu Okunugi, after Guy Laroche, Paris, February 2012.

Chiharu's outfit is perfect for the UK weather at the moment - we are still rugged up in sweaters, coats and tights. When I am out and about on the streets in London, the colours are still very sombre - lots of black, navy and charcoal. Adding a beautiful scarf for colour, and a pair of leather shorts for texture adds interest to a winter → spring transitional wardrobe.

Recreate Chiharu's look (kind of):

Theodora & Callum Majorca fringed scarf or Marc by Marc Jacobs Arrowhead scarf or Etro paisley print scarf or Pieces Nicole scarf

J Brand black leather Lola shorts, Zadig & Voltaire Pitt Deluxe leather shorts, Free People Rocker vegan leather shorts

ASOS studded leather belt or Isabel Marant star-studded leather belt

Dr Martens boots
