Emma is a fashion assistant and journalist for the London Evening Standard. She is wearing Jigsaw glasses, a Lands End shirt, H&M skirt, Preen shoes and is carrying a Jimmy Choo bag. Emma had two surprises for us. She told me that she still shops like a student and that she is addicted to eBay.

Charlotte, who is London born and raised works as an Account Manager. Her style influence is anything 70's and a bit of Rock and Roll. Favourite place in her home city is Camden. When I asked Charlotte for her surprise she told me that her ideal life would be to run away and live on a camper van site and have lots of long haired hippy children. Here she is wearing a jumpsuit bought from a vintage eBay seller. Shoes from a charity shop and is carrying a Kenneth Cole bag she bought at a car boot sale.

Tom is an English Lit student, his surprise though, was that he studies in Dublin and not London. He is a Londoner and says "there is no place like home". Which for Tom is Shepherds Bush. Tom says his style at the moment is influenced by cult leaders and train drivers. I really liked the little details on the pocket and near the hem of his shirt. He told me he did these himself. Nice touch. Tom's shirt was bought on eBay, trousers and shoes are Birch Loe (I think) and he bought his glasses in Greenwich market.

Luisa finished Uni earlier this year where she studied advertising. She told me she would like to write children's books. Continuing the children's book theme when I asked Luisa her style influence she said "I like to dress like Poly Pocket." In the picture she is wearing a dress from a shop off Great Portland St, Urban Outfitters boots and carrying a bag from eBay. Her surprise for us is that she says she is really strong for a little person.

Athena is a Londoner. She works for size? on Carnaby Street and was sitting enjoying the sun, with a friend who also works for size?, (who you see another day) when I cut in. Athena says her style influence is the 20's the 70's and possibly the 90's garage/grunge. Surprisingly she told me that she manages to read a book a week and that she makes her own clothes. I am loving how her shoes ping with the lining of her coat. She bought the coat on eBay and the shoes are Office. Otherwise her glasses are Primark, trousers are Philip Lim and inventively her top is actually a slip which she has just pulled up and converted its use - clever.

Out and about....Recognise Magazine

I have to say I have been finding it hard to motivate myself in this flat light we have been having and the cold, cold, cold. It is so cold my camera keeps stopping and I have to take the battery out and warm it up under my arm before even it wants to play again. This has never happened before. It makes me respect my fellow photographers who work in even colder climes. My hat is well and truly off to you. Respect. Mind you it is all worth while as the people I meet are just so brilliant and giving. It is always so good to hear peoples stories. I never know just who I have stopped. Today it turned out that Cleo is the editor of Recognise magazine. Take a look, looks pretty cool to me. However it is not the only string to her bow as she also works for the boxer David Haye. When I asked her what her style influence was she told me Morticia from the Adams Family - she loves to wear black. Here she is wearing a scarf from Portobello Market. The leather jacket belongs to a friend. The black bobbly cardy over the top of the leather is from Topshop. Her bag is from H&M, the dress is an eBay purchase and her shoes are from ASOS.
