Out and about....northern light

Daisy is a student and is studying business. Her favourite place in London is Brick Lane which is where we met and where this picture was taken. Her surprise was lovely, she has recently been to Iceland. On her trip she was riding on a horse in the hills and was lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis. What a beautiful romantic way to see the Northern Lights. And as she says lucky to see them. I have know friends who has gone in search of them only to come home disappointed.
She is wearing a Uniqlo scarf, West Side jacket, Urban Outfitters shirt, Eahlia skirt, Underground shoes and is carrying a Cambridge Satchel Co. bag.

Charlotte is a 2nd year student at Farnham and was on work placement in London when we met. When I asked about her style she told me she was Gothy but has toned it down a bit. Very pretty Goth I say. She also said she never wears jeans. Her favourite places in London are Brick Lane and Soho. Charlotte's surprise for us is that she used to Ice Skate in Ice Skating shows. Her jacket is from All Saints (I would love one the same), skirt is Jack Wills which she is wearing with a petticoat (she only wears shirts with petticoats), top H&M, boots DMs and she is carrying a Ferragamo bag.

Her jacket is from Beyond Retro, The denim jacket below the bomber and her T are vintage from NYC. Her tights are Henry Holland for Pretty Polly and her trainers are from size?

Out and about....May's day

May was shopping with her brother when we met. She loves going to Brick Lane and Spitalfields market which is were we met. It was chilly but the sun was shining. A great excuse to wear lovely over the knee socks with shorts. How many more days will you get away with that before Spring? Aren't the ribbons in her shoes wonderful. May is a Londoner and is studying for her GCSE's. She told me she will go on to do her A'levels. She loves drama but is not sure of her direction yet. There is still time. I really feel for children and young people at the moment. They are being hit really hard. No child benefit. No new schools. Pay for ever for your university education. I am amazed they are not up in arms. I remember going on strike in school because they took too long to fix the heating and we had, had enough. Come on students time to hear your voices, where are you? OK that is my rally cry over. For style May looks to Alexa Chung who she see's as effortlessly cool. Also Vogue for inspiration. I agree on both counts. Can you believe it she used to play Rugby. I did Kung Fu for a short while but gave it up because it hurt too much. Wonder if she gave up Rugby for the same reason? Her shirt used to be her brothers, the sweater her mums. Some great wardrobe mixing here. Shorts and socks are Primark. Her shoes are from a stall on Portobello Rd and her bag was from Columbia Rd. Her story gives us a great tour of a lot of the wonderful markets in London.
