Paris Fashion Week SS 2013....Tamu

The gorgeous Tamu, before A Show, Paris, October 2012.

Recreate Tamu's look (kind of):

Easy-peasy shirt/tunic dress (layer with a sweater or cardi like Tamu has for spring/early summer and wear alone for the warmer months): 10 Crosby Derek Lam Seersucker tunic dress, T by Alexander Wang paneled silk shirt dress, Topshop pinstripe placket shirt dress, MM6 Maison Martin Margiela tunic dress, Jenni Kayne sleeveless shirtdress, Mara Hoffman sleeveless shirtdress, Vince shirtdress, Versace printed silk shirt dress or RDM by Rue du Mail poplin tunic dress

Black sweater: Miu Miu sweater, Vince oversized boatneck slub sweater, or ASOS pocket sweater

Statement necklace: J.Crew crystal and resin tile necklace (I think this would look amazing with a white tunic dress and a lightly sunkissed summer skin), Marc by Marc Jacobs Paste and Print necklace, J.Crew crystal color mix necklace, or Adia Kibur blue crystal necklace

Lace-up booties: McQ Alexander McQueen Neon-trimmed lace up booties, Fendi Shagreen panel ankle boot (these aren't lace-up but they have the two-tone thing going on!), McQ Alexander McQueen cutout booties, or ASOS Artful ankle boots

London Fashion Week SS 2013...Joanna

Harper's Bazaar (US) Senior Fashion Market Editor, Joanna Hillman, after Vivienne Westwood Red Label, London, September 2012.

Three things I discovered from photographing Joanna in this outfit:

1. It is possible to descend stairs in an elegant manner in very high heels if you practice enough. For those still in the L-plate stage of high-heel wearing, hold onto the railing tightly or at the very least, the arm of an obliging boy or friend. A leg cast (and there is always at least one around during fashion week) is never desirable.

2. I really, really like the longer back hem detail on Joanna's Stella McCartney dress. I think it adds interest to a simple shift dress (Tamu also wore a Stella McCartney dress in Paris with a shirttail hem and looked beautiful).

3. Churchill War Rooms is located just behind those steps. I have been meaning to visit ever since I have lived in London. Now I know where it is, I intend to go!

Recreate Joanna's look (kind of):

Stella McCartney Duke dress, Stella McCartney monogram print shift dress, Rag &Bone Maharaja Graphic dress, Tibi cotton shirtdress or LNA black Blair long sleeved jersey dress

Michael Kors leather sandals or Alexander Wang sandals
