Paris Fashion Week SS 2013...Elisa
Stylist/Fashion Consultant Elisa Nalin, Tuileries, Paris, September 2012.
The combination of the leopard print and red heels is, in my opinion, simply wonderful. I read a quote last night in The Emperor of Scent (a book by Chandler Burr) in relation to what defines chic. And I immediately thought of Elisa - someone who I think is utterly chic with fabulous personal style...... In a discussion of what is "proper" chic "He laughed, thought about it, said "um" and "oh God". "Chic is, first, when you don't have to prove you have money, either because you have a lot and it doesn't matter or because you don't have any and it doesn't matter. Chic is not aspirational." He sighed, despondent. "Chic is the most impossible thing to define. Luxury is a humourless thing, largely, and when humour happens in luxury it happens involuntarily. Chic is all about humour. Which means chic is about intelligence. And there has to be oddness - most luxury is conformist, and chic cannot be. Chic must be polite and not incommode others, but within that it can be as weird as it wants". (pages 449, 450). *

Animal print coat: Collette by Collette Dinnigan leopard print coat, Tucker Pod faux fur coat, Joseph animal print coat, Joseph Man Leopard coat with leather trim, By Malene Birger Scarlettes leopard print coat, Topshop leopard print coat or ASOS leopard print coat

*p.s. If you are interested in perfume, this is a great book. Although I will admit to skimming the heavily scientific parts: my brain glazed over the chemistry bits :)
New York Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Leandra
Leandra Medine aka The Man Repeller, before A Show, NYC, February 2012.
Love this look on Leandra: an easy, relaxed outfit for when it is chilly outside but you are headed indoors to an (inevitably) overheated office/restaurant/shop. Just whip off the coat and you have a simple t-shirt/distressed jeans combo lifted by a statement necklace, embellished clutch and metallic pumps. Easy.Peasy.Chic

London Fashion Week SS 2013...Eleonora
Eleonora Carisi, after Acne, London, September 2012.
LOVE this outfit on Eleonora (and the London light was so pretty as well): everything from her dip dyed hair to her sweet little hat (half cloche/half train drivers cap?) and gorgeous skirt. And on a day like today in London (grey, grey, grey) this outfit is the perfect, colourful pick me up (sort of like the effect production of a secret bag of boiled lollies has on passengers on a long, boring car journey ;).

Cozy sweater: Theyskens' Theory Knop Yourney sweater, Ganni Angora knit sweater, Tibi Cross Back sweater, A.L.C Bennie sweater, Acquaverde crew neck sweater or Acne Clementine boiled wool sweater

Lace up booties: Alexander McQueen lace up boots, Sam Edelman Knox booties, Burberry Prorsum nubuck booties

New York Fashion Week SS 2013...Taylor
Taylor Tomasi Hill, Artistic Director Moda Operandi, after Tory Burch, NYC, September 2012.
Love the proportions in this outfit Taylor wore in NYC. I also love this excerpt from an interview with Taylor in Elle UK's November issue (p.161, 162) "I'm definitely a shoe girl. The higher the better for me. I've spent so much time in heels over the years that my feet have changed. I haven't yet met a shoe I can't wear." And that Taylor, is why we adore you!

I love Karin's understated style: one of my favourite photos from Paris Fashion Week this time last year was a photo I took of Karin after the Vanessa Bruno show. What was she wearing?

Something to slip on for the weekend: for brunch with friends, shopping, a trip to the markets...easy peasy casual chic.
