London Fashion Week AW 2012/13....Ella

Miss Ella Catliff, model (Select) and author of La Petite Anglais blog, after Mulberry, London, February 2012.

Vibrant, beautiful colour (and sunshine!) in the depths of London's winter? Yes please! Even if you normally shy away from top-to-toe colour, a bright (or printed) dress under a dark winter coat is a lovely way to banish the seasonal blues.

Recreate Ella's look (kind of):

Nanette Leopore Queen of Wands dress, Carven silk and lace dress, Diane von Furstenberg Maeryn dress, Topshop seam waist shift dress, Opening Ceremony contrast sleeve dress, Carven jersey dress,  J.Crew Teddie dress or Shoshanna Allison plaid dress

Topshop faux fur hat, Rachel Zoe fox fur hat, Adrienne Landau Raccoon fur knit hat, Bop Basics slouchy fur hat, or River Island fur cossack hat

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

Catherine Baba, after A Show, Paris, June 2012.

There is a good article on Catherine's personal style in the September edition of Elle (UK) magazine (pages 188 and 189). I love this quote about her closet "Once you go in, you never come out" and her style "no rules! I go with feeling....more is never enough". I always imagined that Catherine lived in a bohemian, vintage and treasure-filled apartment (complete with magic wardrobe!) and from the description in the article, it sounds like it is true!
