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.

It is nice to do a regular post again. Ella was shopping with her Mum when we met. Her Mum looks wonderful too so I am hoping we can meet up again so I can photograph and post about her as well. Ella is sitting her GCSE's at the moment. Hope they are going well for her. Her favourite subjects are art and sport. She likes to design clothes, so her sights are set on the London College of Fashion after A'Levels. Her surprises were that she rides horses, plays the harp and (for me unsurprisingly) was a child model. For our shot she is wearing glasses from Claire's, the scarf was a Christmas present. Her jacket is from Jack Wills, shoes are Kurt Geiger, the sweater is her Mum's, leggings are New Look and her bag is from Paul's Boutique.

I am going to continue with my BBH series this week. Here we have Agathe she is originally from Paris, where she lived until she was 17. Then it was on to the USA to Berkley Uni where she studied Political Science. Her journey from there took her back to Paris, to Japan and then on to London. She like living in Japan saying that the people are nice. She also told me she loves Korea. For the past 8 months she has been working for BBH as a strategist. Agathe describes her style influences as schizophrenic. Her mother is an upper class conservative French lady. As a result Agathe grew up with a lot of rules. For a long time her apparel was precise and regimented, saying she spent a lot of time in twin set and pearls. Now, it is very different and even though she has lived away from home and has had her own style for a while her mother still comments about it, wondering at Agathe's "weird attraction to fancy dress". The freedom of dress is another reson she likes the Japanese, she loves their style, saying "they know how to mix it up and make it work". She told me she usually dresses a little more wackily than she has done today. Agathe is interested in fashion but "would never go with what Grazia says, as it is unimaginative". So not mainstream fashion. She loves to pick items and make them her own - but the extent of her craftiness so far is the ability to change buttons. Surprisingly Agathe is a Yoga teacher and would like to consider herself as a Yogi, which she says is completely contradictory to her love of fashion. She spent 6 months in India for her teacher training and only had 2 outfits with her for the whole time she was there. She says when she got back to London it was "woo hoo Topshop" - I see what she means. Here her earmuffs are from The Village Scandal in NYC. Tights are Topshop. She bought the skirt in Seoul but cant remember the name of the store and her jumper is from Jack Wills.

You have all heard stories of me trying to catch up with people when wearing heels. However when they are wearing heels also at least I am in with a chance. Even so it took persistence to catch up with Irina. I had seen her across quite a busy street and I had to wait for 2 sets of lights..... Anyway persistence paid off this time.
Irina is originally from Belarus. She now runs a company here called Purifyne have a look. It is a juice detox "to make you healthier, younger and lighter for longer". She certainly looks good on it.
Irina's style influences are the classic's. Cuts that wont go out of fashion that are timeless and can still be worn in 15 or 20 years time. Her great feminine brogues  are from Bally, I would love a pair of these too. Irina's jacket is from Jack Wills (isn't the pink lining of the collar a nice touch), her glasses are Tom Ford. The trousers are from Ralph Lauren and her bag is Anya Hindmarch. Irina had 2 cool touches to her style which you cant see from the angle of the shot I have chosen. The first was her lovely crisp white vintage shirt, Irina had trimmed the collar herself. The second was her belt. She had used the detachable shoulder strap from her bag as her belt. Wish I has taken a close up to show you. 2 nice personal touches.
