Paris Fashion Week SS 2016....Sofia

Art director and fashion consultant Sofia Sanchez Barrenechea, after Louis Vuitton, Paris, October 2015.

London Fashion Week SS 2013....Wang

Super stylish (and fun and happy!) Chinese model Wang Xiao (Wilhelmina), Somerset House, London, September 2012.

*I think I may have messed up Wang Xiao's name and should be saying Xiao instead of Wang as her first name?!

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Iekeliene

Model and photographer Iekeliene Stange, Paris, March 2012. 

Take time to check out Iekeliene's photography work - it is beautiful, whimsical, endearing, inspiring.

Recreate her look (kind of):

Floral jeans or pants: Paige Denim floral jeans, Girl by Band of Outsiders printed denim jeans, Alice + Olivia corduroy skinny pants or Thakoon Addition floral printed pants

ASOS Marksy leather brogue, Esquivel Captoe oxford shoes or Balenciaga Arena derby shoe

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Jourdan

Jourdan Dunn, after Michael Kors, NYC, September 2011.

Love this outfit on Jourdan. Suede shorts, oxfords, an oversized sheer blouse.... Teamed with her messy braid (do you see the tiny threads of leather intertwined in her plait?) it has a faintly urban safari-ish feel.

Recreate Jourdan's Look (kind of):

Slip on a pair of suede shorty shorts: Surface to Air suede shorts, Pepe jeans suede shorts, Donna Karan casual pleated shorts (these aren't suede but have the same feel as Jourdan's shorts), Maison Martin Margiela suede shorts or findersKeepers faux suede shorts

Add a floaty, sheer blouse (great for days when the heat feels unbearably stifling*): Haute Hippie peasant blouse, Winter Kate Pushpa blouse (add a pretty bra or cami underneath), Thomas Wylde Devil's Daughter blouse, Jeunesse Francoise blouse

ASOS Marksy leather brogues, Rag & Bone Hanalei oxfords or Esquivel The Wing Tip brogue

* we haven't had one of these days yet in the UK...although tomorrow promises to reach 23°C. Woot!
