London Fashion Week SS 2013...Eleonora

Eleonora Carisi, after Acne, London, September 2012.

LOVE this outfit on Eleonora (and the London light was so pretty as well): everything from her dip dyed hair to her sweet little hat (half cloche/half train drivers cap?) and gorgeous skirt. And on a day like today in London (grey, grey, grey) this outfit is the perfect, colourful pick me up (sort of like the effect production of a secret bag of boiled lollies has on passengers on a long, boring car journey ;).

Recreate Eleonora's Look (kind of):

Cozy sweater: Theyskens' Theory Knop Yourney sweater, Ganni Angora knit sweater, Tibi Cross Back sweater, A.L.C Bennie sweater, Acquaverde crew neck sweater or Acne Clementine boiled wool sweater

Sparkly, statement necklace (vintage/charity shops are brilliant for finding pretty vintage necklaces): Tom Binns Madame Dumont necklace, Noir Jewelry Nightfall crystal station necklace, J.Crew necklace, ASOS brooch statement necklace, or Tom Binns Regal Rocker Swarovski necklace

Lace up booties: Alexander McQueen lace up boots, Sam Edelman Knox booties,  Burberry Prorsum nubuck booties

Mini bag: Milly Emerson mini bag, Clare Vivier mini bag, or Diane von Furstenberg mini harper bag

Hat: Catarzi hat, Stella McCartney wool-felt cloche, Gucci leather trimmed felt trilby, or Albertus Swanepoel Bobby bucket hat

New York Fashion Week SS 2013...Leandra

Leandra Medine aka The Man Repeller, after A Show, NYC, September 2012.

Love this t-shirt on Leandra - I think she said it was from American Apparel!

Miroslava Duma, after Stéphane Rolland , Paris, July 2012.

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Elisa

Elisa Nalin, after Cacharel, Paris, March 2012.

Just like no one does girl-meets-boy inspired looks better than Esther, no one does colour combinations better than lovely Elisa. In a sea of heavy winter coats and dark colours during the Feb/March fashion weeks, we can always rely on Elisa to wear something fabulous and colourful.

Carvela Anita sandals

Paris Couture Fashion Week AW 2012/13....Tamu

Tamu, before Chanel Couture, Paris, July 2012.

Love this dress so much on Tamu - it hugs in all the right places and while it shows glimpses of skin, it isn't really revealing. And her Roberta Di Camerino raffia clutch? So fun!

Recreate Tamu's Look (kind of):

Milly Andrea lace dress, Diane von Furstenberg Inaya crochet tank dress, 10 Crosby Derek Lam knit dress, Whistles Tulla crochet mini dress, or Milly crochet overlay dress

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Tamu

Tamu* from All The Pretty Birds, after Dries Van Noten, Paris, March 2012.

A lesson in how to wear print pajama-style silk pants + summer brights + the boyfriend lightweight cardi. And jewels...we love Tamu's beautiful necklace collection!

Recreate Tamu's Look (kind of):

Philosophy Di Alberta Ferreti wide leg print pants, Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Day Off pants, Alberta Ferreti printed silk pants , Missoni Phyliss crochet-knit pants,  ASOS Africa pants in Mombassa print

Statement necklace: Erickson Beamon Eccentric Lady necklace (love the tiny little skulls on this necklace), Erickson Beamon Colour Me Crazy necklace, ASOS Darling Bug necklace



*love how all the street style fav's (like Tamu, Anne-Catherine, Hanneli) are all just known by their first name! No surnames needed :)

London Fashion Week AW 2012...Sophie

The alternative to a handbag....a clutch you can fit (almost) anything into!

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



Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Ulyana

Ulyana Sergeenko, Paris, March 2012.

Did you see the article in British Vogue (April 2012) featuring the Russian girls Elena Perminova, Miroslava Duma, Vika Gazinskaya and Ulyana? I love that they admit to sharing their clothes during PFW (kind of like a girly slumber party.....only with a lot more designer clothes and beautiful beds at The Ritz instead of sleeping bags!).

Recreate Ulyana's look (kind of):

Topshop moto fitted denim shirt or Current/Elliott The Perfect Shirt 

I really like the way Ulyana has dressed up her denim on denim look with the statement necklace. This is definitely a look you could wear in "real life".

Noir jewellery neon rope and crystal necklace or ASOS Krystal Swarovski Garden Statement necklace. Or instead of a oversized necklace, wear a pair of statement earrings. Love these Dannijo Monaco earrings (in fact anything by the Dannjio girls is pretty awesome!) 



New York Fashion Week SS 2012

I think she said she was Isaac Mizrahi's niece....
