New York Fashion Week AW 2012/2013....Tamu

Tamu from All The Pretty Birds blog, before Derek Lam, NYC, February 2012.

Tamu's parka? THIS is clearly what I needed in Stockholm during the week! Instead I scurried around with layers comprising two thermals, one dress, one jumper, one coat, one cape-coat, plus knitted hat and gloves....and I was still cold! Clearly I don't have clothes in my wardrobe suitable for the Nordic winter :)

Sophie Hulme shearling trimmed parka, Three Floor Field Trip parka, BLK DNM military parka, Maison Scotch Parka with wire hood, Burberry Brit Raccoon-trimmed parka, ASOS fur hooded detachable lined parka or Topshop faux fur lined parka

Paris Fashion Week SS 2013....Tamu

Tamu from All The Pretty Birds blog, before Christian Dior, Paris, October 2012.

I love the way Tamu has teamed her 3.1 Phillip Lim sweater with her pretty printed dress/skirt and lace-up ankle boots. The wonderful thing about Tamu's style is, even though she wears pieces that are new season/"on-trend", she never looks like has just walked into a store, picked out an entire outfit and then tardis-ed herself to fashion week. She puts together things so that they look unique (and desirable). Those ankle boots? very, very desirable!

Okay, so I think you all know that I love anything in lace and this Valentino dress on Tamu is no exception. I love the shape, the fabric and the beautiful ivory colour. A dress to take you from day to evening and everywhere in between.
