I was (trying to!) photograph Nicole the other day in NYC and within the space of a minute, Nicole was surrounded by girls wanting to take an iPhone photograph with her. She was so kind and gracious even in the freezing cold weather.

p.s. Apologies to those girls whose iPhones I used to take the photographs - I am entirely rubbish at phone photos!

Paris Fashion Week SS 2013....Nicole

Nicole Warne aka Gary Pepper Girl, before Louis Vuitton, Paris, October 2012.

It is New Years Eve (and in fact past NYE back home in Aus!) so I thought I would post these photographs of Nicole as last minute inspiration. Such a beautiful, elegant dress.....and perfectly styled with a simple clutch, side-parted ponytail and ankle-strap sandals. So much soft prettiness.

I hope you all have a wonderful NYE and a healthy, happy year in 2013. I cannot thank my blog readers enough for all your support, comments and encouragement over this last year - it means so much. And to everyone who has ever allowed me to take your photograph: thank you for trusting me. Without you, none of this would be possible (or at the very least, the blog would be full of landscapes!).

New York Fashion Week SS 2013....Nicole

The stunning Nicole Warne aka Gary Pepper girl, before A Show, NYC, September 2012.

This was (literally) the first time I met Nicole and I was blown away by her beauty* and style. Over the course of the fashion weeks and at a (hot dog!) party thrown by Peony, I got to know Nicole a little more....and she is just so lovely. One of those genuinely warm, funny and friendly people who you feel you have known for an age. And her personal style? Oooofff I just love her style!

Recreate Nicole's look (kind of):

The perfect Christmas/NYE party dress inspired by Nicole's pretty pale pink and lemon dress: Camilla and Marc Antoinette Striped dress, Camilla and Marc Myth lace-print dress, Shoshanna Bridgette metallic dress, Rag & Bone Renard metallic dress, Three Floor skip a beat dress, Lover Covet skater dress, Alexander McQueen flared wool felt dress or Topshop open back flippy tunic

Charlotte Olympia pumps

*how super glossy is her hair?! I do not think that even an entire vat of Moroccanoil could create that shine ;)

Edit: Nicole's dress is by Patricia Chang! Thank you @Alicia and @Kate for letting me know
