Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Doina

Super sweet Doina from The Golden Diamonds blog, before Rick Owens, Paris, March 2012.

I wish I could shoot in this type of light every day.....it was a fleeting 5 minute moment before the show when the sun peeped out from behind the clouds.

Recreate Doina's beautiful winter look (kind of):

Vero Moda Very lace overlay top, Dolce & Gabbana lace and cashmere top, Juicy Couture leather detailed lace top, ASOS heavy lace top with peplum, Kaelen seamed lace top 

Add a shiny, happy skirt:

Creatures of The Wind brocade skirt, ASOS Premium trumpet mini skirt, Kenzo pleated brocade mini skirt, Marc Jacobs metallic boucle skirt

If you prefer a dress (I can't quite work out whether Doina's is a dress or a top and skirt), these two dresses have a similar feel and both incorporate lace: Catherine Deane Maria dress or Of Two Minds Dinorah dress


Ankle boots: Burberry Prorsum ankle boots, Michael Michael Kors ankle boots or River Island Ombro boots

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Before Stella McCartney

Before Stella McCartney, Paris, March 2012.

It is lovely seeing all of the hair and make-up on the models after the shows but it is also nice to see how the looks translate to real life. Yesterday I posted photos of some of the models after the Rochas show with deep mulberry lips.....I found this photograph today and it reminded me of the berry/wine lip colour from the show. Note that she has kept all of her other make-up super bare (maybe a hint of mascara and neutral eyeshadow).

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Anna

The ever-fabulous Anna Dello Russo, after Paco Rabanne, Paris, March 2012.

Paris Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Caroline

Tank magazine's Caroline Issa, Pairs, March 2012.

No matter how exhausted or stressed (or how high her shoes!), Caroline always manages to look so wonderfully serene, poised and elegant.

Recreate Caroline's look (kind of):

Day Birger et Mikkelsen shearling coat, Mackage side zip coat, Maison Martin Margiela belted coat, Preen Zora shearling and twill coat

Brocade/print pants: ASOS premium pants in ombre print, Paul &Joe Sister Hector brocade pants, J.Crew jacquard pants, or Dolce &Gabbana jacquard pants

Mules: KG Enigma pointed mules, Rochas mules or ASOS pointed mules
