Paris Fashion Week SS 2013...Hedvig

Hedvig Opshaug from Northern Light blog, before A Show, Paris, October 2012.

Love Isabel Marant and Hedvig wears it so well. We were all oohing and aahhing over her gorgeous boots! 

Recreate Hedvig's look (kind of):

Isabel Marant printed mini skirt

Isabel Marant wedge boots in black or multi

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

London Fashion Week SS 2013...Olivia

Olivia Palermo, after Antonio Berardi, London, September 2012.

Even though Olivia is a celebrity, I think this look is wearable "in real life" (not sure how else to put it!): a leather skirt (choose a shape that flatters your body shape), simple sweater, white ankle-strap pumps (maybe leave off the ankle strap if your ankles are more cankle than ankle), a neat clutch and finished off with a belt folded over to look like a bow.

Recreate Olivia's look (kind of):

Reiss Barrett Olive midi leather skirt (I think this is the same one Olivia has on), Burberry London pleated leather skirt, Yves Saint Laurent caramel A-line skirt, Yigal Azrouel Lamb leather skirt, 3.1 Phillip Lim textured leather skirt or ASOS oxblood red pencil skirt

Nicholas Amore white cap toe pumps, ASOS Perry pointed heels with toe caps, or 3.1 Phillip Lim Ava d'Orsay pumps (if you are a bit wary of an all-white pump, these are a great alternative. The cut and two-tone makes them a little less confronting for the white shoe novice ;)

Reiss Andrea blush v-neck sweater, Chloe angora sweater,  Joie Claudire cashmere sweater, or Banjo & Matilda Ulitmate Vee cashmere sweater

The Kenzo Tiger Sweatshirt!

London Fashion Week AW 2012...Camille

 

Camille from Over the Rainbow blog, Somerset House, London, February 2012.

Today's posts were also suppose to be inspiration looks you could wear on the weekend (adjusted for the weather of course!) for coffee with friends, trawling antique/car boot/food markets, brunch at a cafe or the movies  ...but since we are almost at the end of the weekend that idea is rather redundant ;) No matter, there is always next weekend!

Recreate Camille's look (kind of):

Love the pretty peachy/pink colour of Camille's jeans. Try Rag & Bone/Jean skinny jeans, J Brand super skinny jeans,  or ASOS skinny jeans

IRO Piper sweater, Young Fabulous & Broke Rainbow sweater, Helmut Lang Asymmetric paneled sweater, Topshop Breton jumper

Add two-tone flats: Tory Burch Kaitlin ballet flats, J.Crew Cece ballet flats, Manolo Blahnik quilted two-tone flats

CC Skye Roma cuff,  Michael Kors sport watch

p.s. If you need something to do this evening or next weekend, I absolutely loved, loved, loved Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom which was all shot on Super 16mm film. Brilliant.

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Gertrud

Love this cute shorts masquerading as skirt look (apparently it is uncool to say skort?! who knew;))

p.s. Anyone know if this is Gertrud Hegelund? It is embarrassing when I get people's name wrong so I like to be sure :)

Edit: yes, it is Gertrud! Thanks you @anonymous

Recreate her super cute look (kind of):

Pull on a lightweight sweater (layered over a tank or t-shirt) until the weather gets warmer: Nation LTD Pomona sweatshirt, Joie Denis pullover, Raquel Allegra two-tone sweater

Marc by Marc Jacobs Saatchi shorts, Thakoon banded shorts, Cheap Monday Janey shorts or D&G floral print shorts (such a pretty print for spring)

Slip on some sandals: Rachel Zoe Gladys sandal, Steven Benit suede sandals, Maison Martin Margiela suede ankle wrap sandals or Steve Madden Bethany sandals

Balenciaga handbag

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...MJ

MJ, after Rodarte, NYC, February 2012

Absolutely adore Aussie model, MJ (Wilhelmina agency) she is super nice, funny and very grounded. And you get the feeling that no matter how big she becomes, she will always remain that way.

And I loved that she walked in the Rodarte show. MJ still lives at home in Alice Springs in Australia (which is pretty much at the heart of the Australian Outback) and the Mulleavy sisters' inspiration for the fall collection was.....The Australian Outback!
