New York Fashion Week SS 2015....Natalie

Natalie Joos of Tales of Endearment, after A Show, NYC, September 2014.

Pleated mini + sporty bike = so cute!

Recreate Natalie's look (kind of):

Flippy pleated mini: Alexander Wang Pleated crepe mini skirt, Isabel Marant Etoile Pleated drop waist skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs pleated mini skirt, ASOS pleated skater skirt, Alexander Wang pleated leather mini skirt, Claudie Pierlot Stereo pleated crepe skirt, or BCBGeneration pleated mini skirt

New York Fashion Week SS 2014....Laura

My friend, the incredibly talented writer Laura Neilson, before Sass & Bide, NYC, September 2013.

Laura came whizzing along on her bike and I was screeching "Stop, stop!! I need a photo!". Anyway, she stopped, and I took a photograph.

Note Laura's excellent stack hat: if you are going to ride a bike, wear a helmet.

New York Fashion Week SS 2014....Andreea

Romanian model Andreea Diaconu, after Donna Karan, NYC, September 2013.

These amazing leather pants could be a good DIY (if you are very brave.....and have a spare pair of leather pants tucked away somewhere!).

New York Fashion Week SS 2013...Bette

I couldn't decide which of these photographs of Dutch model Bette Franke (DNA) after Jason Wu to post so you have both of them :)

I loved the hair and make-up at Jason Wu (unfortunately something happened to my camera and I lost a heap of photos of the models after the show) but more than anything I love that Bette was wearing those incredible heels on THAT bike after the show! So awesome (I doubt I would even be able to get on that bike without crashing spectacularly. I guess it helps to have super long legs like hers :)).

p.s. Note her skid-lid in the basket?! Love that she isn't too cool to wear one. My kind of gal :)

Recreate Bette's look (kind of):

Alexander Wang Inna sandals or the slightly higher Alexander Wang Amber sandals

Paris Men's Fashion Week SS 2013....Catherine

Catherine Baba, after A Show, Paris, June 2012.

There is a good article on Catherine's personal style in the September edition of Elle (UK) magazine (pages 188 and 189). I love this quote about her closet "Once you go in, you never come out" and her style "no rules! I go with feeling....more is never enough". I always imagined that Catherine lived in a bohemian, vintage and treasure-filled apartment (complete with magic wardrobe!) and from the description in the article, it sounds like it is true!
