Angelica Lorenz, London

I love the way Angelica paired this tartan suit with a biker jacket to toughen up the look a bit. It's just the right amount of masculine.

Angelica is wearing a Topshop suit (similar here), Acne Jacket (similar here), Balenciaga shoes (similar here), Phillip Lim bag (similar here).

I can never work up the courage the wear white jeans (or any white trousers for that matter) because I think they make my bum look big. Perhaps pairing it with a coat and some bright shoes solves that problem...hmmm

Lola Lalic, Somerset House

Lola works for Opening Ceremony (she is wearing a jacket by Opening Ceremony, JW Anderson Skirt, Top by Proenza Schouler, Dr Martens shoes) and she was probably one of the happiest people on that cold rainy London day when everyone was tired and grumpy.

Hello Fashion Week - I have missed you!!!

For some reason, for as long as I have been in London (which to be fair hasnt been that long but it sounded like a nice dramatic intro to a post) summer is always a whirlwind of craziness but the end of summer inevitably marks an end not only to craziness but also to yet another one of my relationships (imaginary, dysfunctional etc etc). According to a familiar pattern it drags on and simmers through the winter... shows signs of bad health in the spring.. then peaks in the summer and dies a sudden death somewhere between "September" and "the weather is sh*t again in London". 
  
Luckily... September also marks the beginning of the fashion month and I am oh-so-excited to welcome it this year! After 3 months of style oblivion and wearing havianas, cork wedges and cotton dresses (accompanied by a large number of various beady looking bracelets which are meant to be travel souvenirs but actually come from Topshop at £1 a pop). I have finally decided to pull my head out of the sand and smell the roses. 

Two days before the New York fashion week started, I shamefully typed in "main trends of AW13" into Google (NB shameful about the fact that i need to google it... whilst completely shameless about doing it at work..at my desk..in an open plan office..wait a second......nope! still no shame). Google didnt let me down... 27 pages of links to various sources offering me their perspective on what we should be wearing this winter. And alas! The annual magic pill worked once again and I have regained my will to live (and spend beyond my means pretending that shopping therapy is the only thing that is going to get me out of the seasonal depression/mourning of yet another failed imaginary relationship). 

So boom boom! First item on the list - Oversized Coat preferably not in black.... Found this lovely lady very inspirational at LFW today.... [I wish I could bleach my eyebrows.. she just looks so unbelievably cool]

Loving this new London brand - Lulu Liu.. What sets them apart? Bold patterns and not being afraid of experimenting with shapes and cuts. Check it out at www.lulu-liu.com

My favourite shot of the week..London

This was one of the first shots I took at the London Fashion Week... and as it would appear, the only one I was truly happy with. It was taken on the fly, I had just finished shooting another girl and as I turned around to walk away I bumped into this beautiful girl. I didnt have time to stop her as she was flying off to another show so I just shot her right there without checking my camera settings or thinking about the background... And magically, it seems to have just worked!

Streetstyle for Look At Me

Check out my street style shots for Look At Me that I shot on Days 2 and 3 of London Fashion Week. My favourite shot of Day 2 - the ever so stylish Matthew Zorpas. Absolutely love this suit on him - well tailored with amazing detailing. Bravo!

Pretty in Pink - London Fashion Week

The lovely Jennifer Inglis from The Style Crusader. I absolutely loved her outfit with the colourful shirt complemented by chunky jewellery and of course the 70's inspired trousers! I think this outfit is so well put together. Take the time to check out Jennifer's blog - you will enjoy it! It has plenty of original content, with great outfit posts and glimpses of Jen's everyday life which gives the blog a personal touch and makes it what blogs were intended to be - a personal story as opposed to an online fashion magazine (which, admit it, a lot of fashion bloggers are guilty off.. including myself).

p.s. what do we think of the bigger photo size? - just you know, trying out something different.. love it? hate it? leave a comment and let me know! x
