When I was shooting my final image for the Filofax challenge I could see Helen and her friend Toni standing at the side of the road watching us. And I had been praying that they stick around until I had finished shooting. But life is not like that is it. By the time I had finished they had gone. However life has sometimes ways to bring people back to you, as a short while later when I decided to wrap up for the day and head home as I was heading down the escalators on the tube there was Helen futher down the escalator in front of me. Luckily both Helen and Toni are also bloggers (Helens is called Plastic lipstick at noon and Toni is called Fashitects I really should have photographed Toni too. Hopefully we will meet again at LFW) so didn't think I was totally mad and were OK to head back out of the tube to take pictures. Helen is starting a foundation art course at Ravensbourne later this month and is also working part-time in Office. This is where she got her amazing Jeffery Campbell shoes. She told me to tell you all to get down there fast before they are gone. Her style influences are Mary Kate Olsen and the street. Her favourite place is Starbucks and her favourite coffee is a macchiato. Her surprise is that she used to be a volunteer for the British Red Cross. Helen's cardy is from American Apparel. Top is H&M, leggings Miss Selfridge, bag and ring Urban Outfitters, shoes as you know Jeffery Campbell.

I thought I would bring a bit of sun and colour into your lives for the weekend. I love how Ayo has used colour and pattern in what she is wearing here. The flash of check, the contrasting print on her belt and skirt and the way the heart on her T mirrors the pink spots of her socks. All pulled together by this amazing background we met near. Ayo is a Londoner and while studying Economic History is working in fashion PR on the side. Busy lady. Unsurprisingly her style influence is colours and boy does she use them well. Surprisingly she told me she is a bit of a geek which her friends find hard to believe. Her geekiness centers around the TV. She loves to watch sport. Football, (Chelsea) with her Dad and athletics. Her coat is vintage from Portobello Market. The rest is a T from Urban Outfitters, H&M skirt and hoodie, vintage belt, Office shoes and LV bag.

Well, well, well, I have meeting a lot of models recently on their way to castings. Arlinda from M&P
was in great form. She had just arrived back from Paris and was in a very good mood. The casting was close by so we walked there together and chatted as we went. I shot these just outside. I noticed while we were walking that she had a black cross on the back of her jacket, which looked quite cool, even though it was only done with duck tape. She said she had been bored one day and had started to do it on the back of the other models jackets too. She then said she met Giles Deacon who like them as well. Wonder if he will use the inspiration? Arlinda is not just a pretty face though, she told me she has just graduated from doing an interior architecture course. Her scarf is from Gap. The shirt is from a charity shop. Jacket vintage and her boots are from Urban Outfitters. Finally she picked up her bag at Vogue's fashion night out. Oh and as I was rewriting my notes she came back out of the casting and told me she had got the job.

Efrat looked brilliant on her bike. I had fun trying to catch up with her. Luckily she was crossing a street. Cycling in heels now there is a feat all on its own. Efrat quit her job so she could travel a little before she goes back home to Israel to start Uni. She will be studying Architecture for the next few years. Her travels have taken her to Berlin, Bulgaria and finally London. She is here for a week and a half. She has been finding it surprisingly colder than she expected and had to go buy herself a coat to keep warm which she is wearing here and is from Topshop. She told me her style is influenced by her mood so is different everyday. The rest of her look here is comprised of a dress from Urban Outfitters, shoes from Next and bag by Lucky Brand. She has hired her bike for the duration of her stay but couldn't remember where from, her friend took her to the shop.  It was a lovely bike by Electra.
