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.

Out and about....Thouq

From Fashionistable

Yousef is from Kuwait and is the fashion editor for the online magazine Thouq. He was in London for 10 days, for inspiration and to find lots of different looks. He told me that from his perspective each of the big European cities have their own unique look and feel. Paris is black, Milan is colour and London is a combination of both and is also funky. His own style is either casual or extreme depending on his mood. It was a cold day, so casual was obviously winning. His surprise and I guess phobia too is rabbits - no rabbit fur for him then. His hat he bought in Paris but can't remember where from. Sweater is H&M, jeans are by Marc Jacobs, boots are Gucci, bag Balenciaga and the shades are Ray Ban. The amazing chunky bracelet is by Givenchy, his watch is a Swatch and his ring was custom made and is his name in Arabic.

I met Nelleke in the fashion district in Amsterdam. We had stopped to have lunch when she walked past. I was up and after her very quickly. She is a model with Touche Models. Of course she travels a lot with her job. One of her favourite places on her travels is Cape Town. When I ask people to tell me something surprising about themselves I usually prompt them with Skydiving of Bungee jumping to try and trigger their thoughts. Well in this occasion these were exactly the things Nelleke loves to do and describes herself as an adrenalin junky. She lives for the highs in life. Style wise she likes to mix expensive with cheap and describes her style as casual chic. I love her boots which are vintage. Her shorts are Sandro, top is Zara and bag by Jarew (might have this spelling wrong). Finally her glasses are Ray-Ban.

Out and about....deep blue

From Fashionistable

Bring me sunshine, I love it. Have you noticed though it is a lot cloudier since the planes started flying again? I swear the other day the only clouds in the sky were a build up of vapour trails. Issy told me she is a water baby, she loves water sports. Is that why she is wearing blue? I think today it had more to do with the sky. Her dress is from Portobello market, her style inspirations are Boho and Sienna. The rest of the outfit is made up of Ray-Ban sunglasses, scarf from Massimo Dutti, bag from House of Fraser and sandals from Mykonos. At the moment she works in celeb brand endorsements but would have loved to be a TV presenter. She still has time to realise her dream.
