Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013...Azza

Azza Yousif, Vogue Hommes Fashion Editor, before Hermès, Paris, July 2012.

Love this crisp, clean look on Azza.... the white jeans a sleek alternative to white suit pants.

Recreate Azza's look (kind of):

White blazer: Theory Italeen stretch canvas blazer, Bop Basics blazer, ASOS blazer with roll sleeve (in white) or Halston Heritage crepe blazer

White jeans: 7 For All Mankind The Skinny Jeans, AG Adriano Goldschmied The Super Skinny legging jean, River Island skinny jeans

 White t-shirt: Vince Little Boy t-shirt or ASOS t-shirt with crew neck

Add neutral accessories: Belle by Sigerson Morrison Falda sandals, Alexander Wang Maddie sandals or Alexander Wang Amber sandals

London Fashion Week AW 2012...Peony

Peony Lim, Somerset House, London, February 2012.

The last post for a little while (well, except for the one below;) on the white suit and how to wear it as separates*. I love this simple, elegant look on Peony - a crisp white jacket, a beautiful blouse with lace detailing and a pair of gently flared jeans - it is difficult to go wrong. Adding a white fur (or fake fur) stole for Autumn/Winter makes it an outfit for all seasons.

Recreate Peony's Look (kind of):

Joseph Sir blazer, Thakoon ivory suiting blazer, Calvin Klein Collection Kamau blazer or ASOS white blazer

Alice by Temperley Esmeralda embroidered blouse (in ivory) or blush/ivory

MiH Marrakesh kick flare jeans or J Brand Stella high rise pants or Mother The Mellow Drama high-rise flared jeans

*when you aren't, as @Wild Flower commented on Audrey's post below, having a Bianca Jagger moment :)

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Audrey

Audrey Leighton Rogers, from Frassy blog, Paris, March 2012.

On Monday I talked about the white suit and it all being a bit tricky to wear white + white in everyday life especially if you anything like me and prone to dripping/spilling things or wearing fake tan in the heat :) The way Audrey is wearing her white/off-white blazer is a great way to incorporate a white suit into your wardrobe: wear the entire suit on days when you are feeling particularly brave (the days when you are convinced a pigeon will not poop on your head* or you won't sit in something unidentifiable and icky) and wear separates (which work so well with this season's florals and prints) for all the other days!

Recreate Audrey's look (kind of):

Joseph Sir blazer (off-white), Calvin Klein Collection Jens jacket (white) or ASOS tailored blazer (white)

Add paisley print: Stella McCartney paisley print blouse, MinkPink Prince of Persia cape top, MinkPink Prince of Persia paisley shorts (great with a white blazer for when the summer heat kicks in) or Thakoon paisley printed shorts (my favourite and perfect with a white blazer)

A pair of slouchy trousers: 10 Crosby Derek Lam cinched waist carpenter pants or Alice + Olivia print Arthur pants

Rachel Comey Hitch suede perforated booties or ASOS Aqua suede ankle boots

Topshop Peter Pan collar or Karl faux leather collar

Karen Walker Helter Skelter sunglasses or ASOS oversized retro sunglasses

*This happened to me when I was lined up for coffee at a stall in Borough Market. Pigeon poop in your hair is never an attractive event.
