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

London Fashion Week AW 2013....Camille

Camille Charriere from Camille Over The Rainbow, London, February 2013.

If you have leather pants, now is the time to wear them....before it gets too hot! Love the way Camille has teamed hers with a simple Breton stripe top, white pumps and tote, keeping everything fresh and not too heavy/dark. Throw on a coat for now (I think Camille's is from Zara?), and wear without for later in the Spring.

Recreate Camille's look (kind of):

Slouchy leather pants: J Brand Ready-to-Wear Blair leather pants, Oak Rider perforated leather pants, Theory Kina leather trousers, Topshop Boutique Slouch leather crop trousers, or Current/Elliott The Boyfriend washed leather cropped pants

Lily Aldridge for Velvet Pearl top, Madewell Striped ponte tee, Alice + Olivia Curtis rolled sleeve t-shirt, Whistles Lacie top, Clu striped sweater or R13 Boy tee
