Out and about....top love

"The most lovely thing for me is freedom" was Masha's reply to my surprise question. My guess was she was on holiday like myself as she told me she was Ukrainian but that is my guess. It might have been where she originated from. Her blue top was a present from a boyfriend, the black top from Stradaivarius, Zara shoes and an Accessorize bag.

Luisa went from LFC to the head office of Topshop to work as a junior fashion buyer. She describes her style influence as bohemian. Her surprise is that she is ¼ English, ¼ Irish, ¼ Sir Lankan and ¼ Italian. Everything she is wearing is from Topshop except for her necklace which she bought in Greece and her bag which is from Accessorize.

Rachel has a beautiful smile and laugh. I am going to start with her surprising things, Rachel was Miss Great Britian in 2007. Before she won the competition she was working on an oil rig. Originally from Scotland Rachel now lives in North London and is modeling with BMA. Her favourite places in London are Hampstead Heath and Hyde Park in summer. I love this look and was amazed when she told me how she put it together, here we go. Glasses are Ray Ban, cape Zara, vintage playsuit, Topshop belt, KG shoes and Chloe bag. I also thought her accessories helped set the whole look off - 2 necklaces, the longer one is a key and belonged to her grandma, the second was a cameo from Accessorize. Her other cameo, the brooch, used to belong to her boyfriends grandma. Altogether a  great combination.

I was heading into town to take pictures when I saw Chloe on my train. As we got off at the same stop I thought perfect great start to the day. Chloe is a Londoner. She has just graduated from Westminster and is working for Calumet at the moment. Chloe is also a photographer, you can see her work here. She told me 'I photograph anything and everything at the moment until I work out exactly what I want to do'. For her pictures she likes to shoot on film and says 'it's very expensive, but I like it'. I am purely digital now but I know there are quite a few of you out there who still have celluloid dreams. I just love the magic of digital. Isn't it great we all have a choice now. It was Chloe's red hair that caught my eye and all those lovely warm layers. Her style influence's are Edie Sedgwick and Alison Mosshart from the Kills. Today Chloe has put her look look together with a hat and bag from Accessorize, scarf from River Island, charity shop jumper,  Primark jacket, H&M jeans and boots borrowed from her housemate. When I asked Chloe for something surprising about herself she told me 'I am not as old as I look.' I didn't think she looked old at all but then she told me she was 19 and I could see what she meant. She also has a wise head on those young shoulders which also gives you a different perspective on her age.

Charlene is a London lass but is a beautiful mix of her mothers Chinese and Malaysian background and her Sri Lankan dad.It was her face and hair that stopped me in my tracks. Work wise she is an Art Director. Style wise she told me she is not a shopper. When she see's what she wants in her minds eye she will then take herself out to find it. At the beginning of the summer it was a particular dress that she could see with birds on - which she did eventually find. She also loves bows and wears them in some form all the time. Today you can see one on her fingers which is from Accessorize and one you cant see just under her hair as part of the earrings which she made herself. I love the way she has put her colours together. The green cardy picking up the colour on her shoes and the pink bag with the socks.  Her cardy is from Zara, T from H&M, jeans River Island, bag Topshop and she couldn't remember where her shoes were from.

Katherine is a digital producer and painter. Two completely different media for her. I am sure it keeps her on her toes. She is obviously a lovely mix of thoroughly modern and traditional, as she paints in oils. Katherine is originally from Yorkshire and it still remains her favourite place in the world. At the moment she is all loved up as she just got married in June. And of course she went back to Yorkshire to tie the knot.  She loves gardening and at the moment her favourite flower is a new orange rudbeckia. Katherine is wearing a jacket from Topshop, dress from Warehouse, shoes from Dune, earrings from Accessorize and sunglasses from Ralph Lauren. She then smiled and said 'but I do have expensive Rigby and Peller underwear on'.

Out and about...matchmaker

When I met Marites she was waiting for her date to turn up. It was a 1st date so she was a bit nervous but happy. However it was not the 1st time they had met. During our conversation I asked her to tell me something surprising about herself and she told me she worked for a personal introductory company called Elect Club as a matchmaker. She had met her date for the evening at one of her own events and they just clicked. Sweet. Style wise Marites told me she has no specific style influence. She mainly likes to be comfortable. Mini skirts and shorts are not for her. Otherwise she is a horder and keeps everything.
For her date Marites is wearing a waistcoat by the jeans company. An all in one from TFNC Topshop, belt from Warehouse. ANd for the second day in a row shoes from Matalan. Accessories, her bag is vintage. The gold jewellery is from Accessorize and Warehouse. Her coloured jewellery is from a stall in Covent Garden. Hope the date went well Marites.

Amy describes herself as a chilled out, beachy person and a wild child. She is however a wild child with a purpose which of course is the best kind. She told me she doesn't follow fashion she likes to make her own style. Usually she wears leopard print but she told me today was an exception. When I met her she was just about to head into the tube station but kindly delayed her journey for me. Amy is studying for a masters at the moment in broadcast journalism at the Uni of Westminster. She is also a fellow blogger. Check out her work here amyshead.wordpress.com she has good things to say and her films are great quality so very easy to watch. The band around Amy's head was just something she had to hand, the flower in her hair was made by a friend who is an art student - Emma Tremayne. Her glasses she found at the Lounge on the farm festival last summer. Her lace dress is from Topshop. The scarf  is on permanent loan from her Mum :-). Her socks are from Primark, her bag is Accessorize and she could not remember where her shoes were from.
