London Street Style...Denim Story

The gorgeous Toni and her fab denim jacket. I probably need to write a whole lot more on the versatility of the denim jacket but I am still in Lyon and using a laptop where English spell-check doesn't seem to work. So to spare you the agony of reading a horribly misspelt post (it's been a long time between Spelling Bee's!) I will save it for when I get back to London. I will say this though- a denim jacket is like a good blazer/jacket: something that will last you for years and is incredibly versatile so it is worth spending a little bit more on to get a great fit, denim fabric and cut. I have a white motorcycle style from Max&Co (circa 2002)...

London Street Style...Little Boots

Barbara, from Argentina and her little boots :)) Okay, so not so little but I suspect once Autumn/Winter is in full swing, Barbara's thigh-highs will seem positively ankle-length given the proliferation of ultra long boots appearing in stores and magazines. I don't think they are for everyone (my legs, for example, would look like two overstuffed Saucisson squeezed into acres of leather!) but for those with legs like Barbara's, get out the talcum powder, coathanger and vaseline and pull on 'em boots!p.s. I am typing this from a hotel room in Lyon, France so posts are going to be a little sketchy over the next few days....

Impossibly, effortlessly elegant and chic: the French Rules.p.s. Only one more hour to enter the Paris Eurostar comp! Winner will be announced later this week...

London Street Style...Diiiiirty Glam

Carlos Rivera, Spanish fashion writer and author of men's style blog, El Sexo debil de la moda, which you can check out here. Carlos oozes style but in a wonderfully fresh, individual and, it has to be said, unnervingly sexy way. Is it the hair, the jewellery, the flash of chest peeking out of his floral shirt??? I don't know but I love it! It's dirty glam :)I also really like the way Carlos writes on his blog- it's witty and not-too-serious but still fashion informative. For all of us non-Spanish speakers, Carlos has just started writing his posts in English (with the help of his tutor). Here are a few snippets from his latest post entitled...

London Street Style...Prada Boots

Obsessed with these Prada lug-sole boots since I spotted them on fashion student, Marcella. A wee bit more wearable than the thigh-high numbers featured in the Autumn/Winter 2009/2010 ad campaign, they are practical (you ain't going to slip over on icy pavements in these little numbers) but with a oh-so-sexy edge: that belt hitting just below the knee. They almost look a little bondage influenced :))And her hat/cap/beanie? from Prada as well....

Petite Street Style...Georgina and Charlotte

THE most adorable little girls I've photographed so far, sisters Georgina (above) and Charlotte (below). They also have a baby brother at home- I can only imagine how gorgeous he would be! Seriously, shooting these two littlies was a dream- I felt like I was on a Junior magazine shoot (incidentally last year I assisted a photographer shooting a fashion story for Junior- 8 babies in one day :)))) It was so much fun but, crikey, HARD work trying to keep all the babies (and mum's) smiling and happy! I don't think I have ever played so much peek-a-boo in my life!)Georgina and Charlotte choose all their own clothes and accessories themselves, with...

Brighton and Hove Street Style...Fun, Fun, Fun in the Sun!

Yesterday I headed down to Brighton for the day and have to say that I enjoyed it immensely. The sun was shining, the water was clear and blue, the locals were extremely friendly and the coffee was good (try Taylor Street Baristas on the way down from the train station for a great flat white). It almost reminded me of St Kilda in Melbourne, and as I strolled back along the promenade from Hove (where the colourful beach huts are situated), I felt quite homesick. Of course, nothing that banging off a few rounds with the Nikon couldn't cure ;-). I was lucky to meet this adorable couple (he was from Portugal and she was from Poland) as I was photographing...

Brighton and Hove Street Style....Green Jeans

I love this girl's use of va-va-voom colour: the emerald green jeans, the poppy-red sunglasses and bag slung casually across her plain black tank. Perfect for a day in the sun at Brighton beach. Note also the classic Hi-Top Chucks: shoes, or at least thongs, are a must for negotiating the pebbles on the beach...and the hot pavement during the middle of the day.I didn't catch her name but she was a university student from Florence, Italy, and is on holidays in the UK for 2 months during her university bre...

London Street Fashion...She's a Mystery to Me

Patricia, model, from Brazil.Her dress? From a Brazilian designer (whose name I can't remember).We went to the U2 concert last night at Wembley- my friend Ewah got us free tickets (yay!)- and it was BRILLIANT. So, in celebration of U2's amazing performance, most of my photos this week are going to have U2 song titles.......

London Street Style...Mad About The Girl

And mad about this impossibly elegant summer dress from Pringle of Scotland.I adore the little ribbon-tie detailing on the arms, waist and around the hem and the graphic green and yellow print. You can't really see it in the photo but film producer/director Lindsay was also wearing a beautiful gold pendant around her neck- it almost reminded me of the "hand" pendant that Matthew Williamson did a few seasons ago. Or perhaps a Julie Sandlau piece...Perfect, understated Grace Kelly-ish elegan...
