Out and about....fashion forward

From Fashionistable

Christina wants to be a Fashion designer. She is from Shanghai and at the moment is studying for A'level's in York. Her aim is St Martins next year. It is good to aim high. Christina had never studied art before coming to the UK and she thought she couldn't draw but her surprise to herself is that actually she can. Her style influence is her own style, its more about showing her personality. Using it to say something about herself. Her cute coat is from Prada. The boots are from LK Bennett, bag is Versace and she had just been shopping in Chanel.

Out and about....in town with the girls

From Fashionistable

When I met Victoria she was in town shopping with 2 of her friends. For me she just stood out.

Now I feel I need to tell you a bit about how I work here. When I am out and about I would say I tend to approach more people who are on their own. It is easier to strike up a conversation that way. If they are on their phone I will usually let them go as I don't like to interrupt - however there are exceptions to this rule. If they are not moving too fast I will follow. If they are walking up and down in the same area I will wait.

However if they stand out from the people around them I will home in on the person I want to photograph. When I do this though I am very aware of the others I have not asked. And always thank them at the end for their patience while I have photographed their friend, girlfriend or boyfriend. On this day I felt even more awkward though. As Victoria's friends stood behind me I could hear them say "what's wrong with us? We made and effort too." Then when I was interviewing Victoria some more friends arrived and her friends said the same to them and they joined in with "how embarrassing". By the time I walked away I felt really bad. So ladies in reply, there was nothing wrong with you at all it's just that for me there was so much right about Victoria and I am sorry if I offended you in any way.

Victoria is from Reading and was in town for the Gina sale - shoe shopping. Wonderful. Style wise she goes for whatever feels comfortable and whatever her husband likes too.
Here she is wearing a top and shorts from French Connection, shoes from LK Bennett and is carrying a Chanel bag.

Out and about....the blushing bride

From Fashionistable

Seung is getting married on Saturday. Looks like the weather is going to be good to her. When we met she was out shopping for the wedding. For her honeymoon she will go to Jeju island which is called the honeymoon island in Korea - she hasn't set a date for this yet, but when she does she will also have a second ceremony out there for the family who couldn't make it to the one in the UK. Seung is a sculptor, you can have a look at her work here. She graduated from Slade in 2008 and for the past 2-3 years has been working professionally, her inspiration comes from everyday things and animals.
Seung describes her style as simple, comfortable and colourful. Today she is wearing a dress from Phase 8. Shoes from LK Bennett, hat from Liberty and bag from Anya Hindmarch. Forgot to ask about the tights, I love the colour though.
