New York Fashion Week SS 2013...Bruna

Brazilian model Bruna Tenório (Women), after Cushnie et Ochs, NYC, September 2012.

You can find Bruna's lovely blog here and her twitter account is @brutenorio_real 

Love the way Bruna has cinched her waist with the wide belt creating almost a peplum effect with the blouse which balances the slight flare of her trousers.

Recreate Bruna's look (kind of):

Although Bruna has belted her blouse, I think a peplum top might be easier to pull off for all of us with non-model bodies: Rebecca Taylor tweed peplum top, Topshop formal peplum blouse, ASOS top with structured peplum, Burberry London pleated ruched top (perfect for those who prefer a long sleeve and very subtle peplum) or Topshop lace peplum top

Red pants: Peter Som red trousers, Reiss Daria wide leg trousers, Marni red pants, or Alice + Olivia silk wide-leg pants

Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013...After Dior Homme

After Dior Homme, Paris, June 2012.

Such a fresh, pretty summery look: a lovely white peplum top, jeans, wedges and a basket bag (so chic and so often confined to fruit and veg shopping at the markets, or carrying things to the beach. This brings it back to city wear).

Recreate her look (kind of):

Julie Haus Novak peplum top, Alice + Olivia peplum top, River Island peplum top, or Elizabeth and James Yumi metallic brocade peplum top

Rag & Bone/Jean skinny jeans, J Brand 912 Pencil leg jeans, or A Wear slim boyfriend jeans

Kors Michael Kors Vivian wedge espadrilles, Paloma Barcelo Canarias knotted wedge sandals 
or Paloma Barcelo Lucy patent leather espadrille wedge sandals

Rebecca Minkoff corn husk boyfriend tote or Cath Kidston weave basket bag

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Tamu

Tamu, after Chanel (I think!), Paris, March 2012.

This is Tamu with her game face on! It was raining, it was cold and I really wanted a photograph of Tamu in her gorgeous peplum top and pants and those Miu Miu taffeta gingham heels (seriously sweet and probably not entirely rain proof ;) before she got into her car. I love the way Tamu has teamed the clashing prints, bringing them together with the coral statement necklace.

Recreate Tamu's look (kind of):

Embrace the peplum trend in these cute pieces: Thakoon Tiger Lily Mikado peplum top (love this print), Carven jersey and organza peplum top, Marc by Marc Jacobs Marfa peplum dress, Topshop minty fresh peplum skirt or Paprika floral print dress with strappy back.

Miu Miu gingham heels (I rather like them in green as well as the orange that Tamu is wearing)

Kate Spade New York Gerbera Garden coral statement necklace or J.Crew bubble necklace
