London Fashion Week AW 2013....Ella

Ella Catliff from La Petite Anglais blog, before Antipodium, London, February 2013.

It's hot, really hot. But if you work in an air-conditioned office (lucky you!) short sleeves or sleeveless tops or dresses can leave you with goose bumps by mid morning. Layering, with a jacket or cardigan, which you can whip off as soon as you head back outside into the steamy conditions, is the key to surviving the summer weather!

Recreate Ella's look (kind of):

Carven double-breasted jacquard jacket

Carven colorblock sweater

Carven A-line skirt, Madewell Solid ridge skirt, or Rebecca Taylor eyelet skirt

Carven slouchy tote

Topshop Sacha wooden platform courts

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Alison

Model Alison Nix, after Diesel Black Gold, NYC, February 2012.

Love this colour block look on Alison (how cute is her short haircut? there is another photo I took of her backstage at Margaret Howell which shows it more clearly) especially her Carven sweater. I think she has styled it all brilliantly (note the crop pants + boots).

Recreate Alison's Look (kind of):

Carven colour block sweater or Alexander Wang colour block sweater or Rag&Bone Dakota colour block sweater 

3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli croc-print mini satchel

Acne Clover wrap strap boots or ASOS black Albi leather chelsea boot (these also come in a few colours with contrasting inserts - very fun).

Persol round sunglasses

ASOS boyfriend knit beanie
