Paris Fashion Week SS 2013....Yulia

Russian model Yulia Lobova (Supreme), after Akris, Paris, September 2012.

So in yesterday's blog post I was waffling on about loving red lips...on a Wednesday. But it was only Tuesday (and I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday)! So I am repeating my last: I do love a semi-glossy red lip on a Wednesday :)

Recreate Yulia's look (kind of):

Yulia's green coat is from Cos. If you aren't living near a Cos store, here are a few similar shaped coats: Chalayan coat, Vince men's overcoat, ASOS textured back detail coat, Paul & Joe Clarence double-breasted coat, Stella McCartney Ariela coat, or ASOS longline blazer

Topshop Marlo biker boots, Pour La Victoire Montero boots, or Fiorentini &Baker Eternity buckled leather boots

Paris Fashion Week SS 2013....Cristina

New face Cristina Mantas (Elite), after Akris, Paris, September 2012.

Oh I do so love a perfectly applied semi-glossy red lip.....especially on a Wednesday, when there is still 2 more sleeps until the weekend begins.

New York Fashion Week SS 2013...After Ruffian

After Ruffian, NYC, September 2012.

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Montana

Australian model Montana Cox (IMG), after Cacharel, Paris, March 2012.

I loved the hair and make-up at Cacharel....those blue and red slide clips + 20's hair + red lips = perfection 

Recreate Montana's look (kind of):

Rachel Zoe Brooklyn faux fur coat,  DKNY faux fur coat, or ASOS faux fur swing coat

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Eve

British model Eve Delf, after Ruffian, NYC, February 2012.

With her pale, pale skin, red lips and the snow, there is a touch of the fairytale Snow White about Eve.....certainly a modern day Snow White with those Dr. Martens ;)

How beautiful would that hair and make-up be with this Marc Jacobs lamé and neon-lime 1920's flapper-style dress (we can only dream!)?

Is anyone having a snowy weekend this weekend? If you are, have a wonderful time out playing in it. London is expected to be rainy and rather grey.



New York Fashion Week AW 2012...After Ruffian

Falling snow + NYC + bouncy curls + perfect red lips =  all the things I love to shoot!

I was so excited when it started to snow in NYC....I couldn't sleep properly the night before, and when I looked out the window on the Saturday morning and tiny specks of snow were falling onto the fire escape, it was one of those yeehaw moments! I have never seen snow fall in NYC before - last February was my first winter season at NYFW and while there was lots of snow on the ground, it didn't actually snow while I was there.

I took a cab uptown and made the driver let me out at Central Park so I could take all the prettiness in...the park looks beautiful any time of day but to see it in the early morning with snow falling was pretty damn special. And then I got to Lincoln Centre just as the models from the Ruffian show were coming out....the hair, the red lips, the snow. So much loveliness to photograph.
