Running With The Fash Pack....London Fashion Week SS 2010

The delicious Apphia (who has featured on the blog before) from Wallpaper magazine looking gorgeous in leather, draping and Christopher Kane (leggings).

Jessica Walsh, Jewellery Editor, Tatler magazine.


Okay, so I know that we are nowhere near leg bearing weather but I needed some cheeriness today and Jessica's pretty creams and blues reminded me of Spring....and the teeny pristine pebbles on the ground reminded me of snow :))

The Vogue UK girls were on the utility trend early: Pippa Holt (left- former Fashion Features Associate) and Emily Zak (Acting Executive Fashion Editor)


Emma Elwick (below), Market Editor

Mmmm have a pair of Punk Royal cargo pants (anyone remember them circa 2001/2002? Those khaki Italian army trousers with Punk Royal written in rather large gothic letters across the ar*e??) squirrelled away somewhere in my wardrobe: must pull them out, dust off and resurrect for the coming Spring/Summer. The utility trend shall not pass me by!

p.s. Talking about Punk Royal (the brand) looks like they are back in business after going bankrupt. And the new jeans line will be out in Spring this year. Check out their website here.

Gorgeous Model Trish Goff in two different looks at LFW. Love that she is working the same bag and gold cuff in both looks.

Running With The Fash Pack....Paris Fashion Week SS 2010

Being Australia Day (waves to any Aussie readers out there!), I couldn't resist including two Aussies that I photographed in Paris outside the Collette Dinnigan show in Paris last season.


This girl, whose name I have completely forgotten (which I feel super bad about as I wanted to tell you about her label) lives in NYC and has a fashion label with her partner. They gave me a lookbook and I seem to have permanently misplaced it (think it was when I was clearing out my handbag in preparation for my visit to the US) :( But, anyway, she was wearing pieces from her label!

p.s. having a hot Milo and a couple of Tim Tams tonight after supper as my Australia Day Treat! Hmmm okay, so maybe more than just a couple of Tim Tams- crikey they are hard to stop at just one!

Michelle, from Australian NW magazine, outside the Collette Dinnigan show in Paris. NW magazine used to be one of my weekly must-reads when I was living back home in Australia: great for catching up on all the celeb gossip during the train/bus ride home.

The perennially elegant (and beautiful) Caroline Issa, publisher and editor of TANK magazine. Love the sportswear influence (the hoodie) teamed with the Louboutin's.


p.s. I am aghast at the fact that I am still posting photos from last year's fashion weeks when the next one is just about upon us. I have no one else to blame but myself....too much faffing about and not enough blog posting! Anyway, I still think it useful to post the photos as it gives us a little peek at what me might be wearing/influences for the coming spring/summer. Plus I think, given the current weather in London, that everyone will be rugged up for the shows in February so I will be posting lots of winter looks then!

Christine Centenera, fashion editor, Harpers Bazaar Australia, and owner of the most gorgeous pair of legs!

New York Street Style...Tartan Tease

Laily, who is Brazilian (she is from Sao Paulo) but who currently lives in Dublin but who I met in Soho in New York! Laily's sunglasses are Balenciaga and her badge, Sonia Rykiel.

New York Street Style...In The Trench

I took this guy's photo after passing him while he was lining up at a street vendor/lunch truck in Soho to buy his lunch. I rather liked his casual, slung-together look and especially his suede shoes. And because his lunch looked very tasty, I went back to the street vendor about an hour later and got one of the beef/beans/rice wraps for myself (flinging aside all thoughts of food poisoning, of course!). And it was nice although I think they had just cleaned the grill so there was an ever so slight whiff of detergent which accompanied most bites!

Some colour to cheer us/me :) up during this cloudy London weather. Come back snow!

Outside Chloe, in Chloe!


p.s. I was cheered to see a photograph of Phoebe Philo (love, love, love her collection for Céline) wearing sneakers on the red carpet here in London....in these icy, slippy conditions a sensible shoe is a must :)

Well, its nearly New Years Eve-does everyone have their party frocks and bottles of Champagne ready??!

We are spending NYE's in Besancon, France and have not managed to book anywhere for dinner so no doubt we will find ourselves toasting the new year with a simple meal of jambon, comté and thick slices of baguette in our hotel room....and a bottle of Billecart-Salmon, of course!

p.s. I just want to take the opportunity to thank all my readers (and particularly all those people who allowed me to take their photograph-without you guys there would be no photos and no blog!) for your support this year, I am overwhelmed by your kindness and encouragement. I have met some tremendous people, and formed some wonderful friendships through photography and blogging. I feel very fortunate that life has taken me on this path. Thanks so very much everyone :))

And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Naomi, working the laced-boots, little layered skirt and athletic top look.

p.s. Hope you all had an absolutely wonderful Christmas day wherever you are in the world. We are in the Dordogne region of France staying with friends in an incredibly beautiful converted barn. It is wonderful and relaxing which is just as well as we spent 22 arduous hours getting here from London by train, ferry and car-lets just say that Eurostar messed us around BIG TIME and I (nor my friend who is pregnant with twins) haven't quite forgiven them yet :) We had a fantastic clear day yesterday (boys were wearing t-shirts!) but there is an enormous fire to keep us warm as soon as it gets a bit chilly (we do seem to be getting through an uncanny amount of wood- I suspect none of us really know how to make a proper fire other than throwing lots of wood and kindling at it). We had slow-roasted goose and chicken for Christmas luncheon which was rather an experience- nothing like trying to remove the head of one's goose (it was dead but the French way is to leave same in tact for the lucky chef to, um, "deal with") on Christmas morning! Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie would be proud :)) Bûche de Noël and cheeses for pudding, and lots of lovely red wine and champagne while we were preparing it all.

Well, it is almost 3:30pm now so time for my afternoon nap;-)

Joyeux Noel et Bonne année!

And the polar opposite of the drop-crotch pant? The legging.


Love her Charlotte Olympia Ziggy ankle boots and little fringed bag.

Natalie Hartley,of The Sunday Times Style magazine (above) and Zanna Rassi, senior fashion editor of Marie Claire (US) magazine, embrace the grey jersey drop-crutch trouser moment.

London Fashion Weekend...The Essex Couple

I photographed Sally-Ann Grane and her man, Stuart Aitken, back at London Fashion Weekend (just after LFW).

Stuart and Sally-Ann are from Essex and had come to London for the day for Fashion Weekend.

Adore Sally-Ann's bustier: perfect for the SS '10 lingerie (and lace) trend.

p.s. Loving the new Sonia Rykiel for H&M lingerie collaboration: Big Pants? Yes please :))

Stockholm Street Style...Marion

The beautiful Marion from Marion Rocks blog who I met randomly in Paris earlier this year. Marion has since moved to Stockholm to study and I was able to catch up with her when I went to Stockholm :)

p.s. Check-out Marion's latest post featuring the fab Filippa Smeds- LOVE the photos of Filippa in THE SNOW!

Stockholm Street Style...Anna

Anna Wahlin. Love her puff-shoulder dress and especially the loose plaits in her hair- I think it gives the directional dress a softer, more girly look. The print reminds me of Christopher Kane's leopard print or the Stephen Sprouse Louis Vuitton leopard print.

p.s. Visiting Stockholm in the depths of winter means not a lot of daylight (which makes it a little bit difficult for photographs if you only use natural light) but one of the upsides is that a lot of the shops have gorgeous little lanterns outside which they light as soon as darkness falls. So pretty. Oh yes, and then there is the prospect of spending hours tucked away in cosy cafes slurping enormous bowls of hot chocolate (Chokladkoppen in Gamla Stan), eating fantastic warming meals at Nytorget Urban Deli in SOFO (the staff are lovely- as is everyone I encountered in Stockholm- and the smörrebröd set dish at lunchtime is fantastic value) and sipping champagne at the Bollinger Champagne Bar at the Hotel Stureplan.

My favourite stores?: Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Acne, Grandpa, Pitt Stop, Tjallamalla, Byredo perfume store....and plenty more that I didn't note down in my moleskine.

Stockholm Street Style....Suit-able

Suit+Prada Sneakers= Suit-able :)

A little tease for those of you freezing your tushies off in the UK (and a sign of things to come for SS 2010: yes we really will have to be blowing the dust off our long-forgotten Stairmasters, Treadmills and Ellipticals following the Christmas hibernation period...sigh ;))

Emma Elwick, Market Editor at Vogue UK in shades of grey and pale, pale pink.....and some kickin' boots to keep it from looking too overtly pretty.

Running With The Fash Pack.....Paris Fashion Week SS 2010

The ever-gorgeous, effortlessly stylish Eva Fontanelli of Italian Elle. I love Eva's style.....always on-trend but kind of quirky at the same time.

London Street Style....Body Con

Body con dress +leather jacket+knee high suede boots on the Aussie girl in London, Lindsay.


Another example of how very small the world really is.....I started chatting to Lindsay while I was taking her photo and turns out she studied law at the same university as me in Brisbane!

p.s. loving her Jimmy Choo bag!
