New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Hanneli

Miss Hanneli Mustaparta in super cool vintage shorts which she has customised herself i.e. ripped the seams a little at the front. I think she said one accidentally came undone so she decided to match the other one as well!

Erin Wasson after Michael Kors.

London Fashion Week SS 2012...Kate

The gorgeous Kate Foley, buyer for Opening Ceremony, and her beautiful, pale fairy floss pink dipped hair.

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Joanna

Joanna Hillman, Senior Fashion Market Editor, Harper's Bazaar (US).

Love how versatile that Stella McCartney denim top is....see how Ciara from Mr Porter wore it a few posts below this one. That is why fashion is never boring- everyone adds their own interpretation/twist.

London Fashion Week SS 2012...After Meadham Kirchhoff

I rather like the odd way the skeleton t-shirt works with her braids...

On The High Line

We walked the High Line on the afternoon of Fashion's Night Out and it was awesome- one of the best things to do in NYC if you want to feel part of the city but not overwhelmed by it. I have walked it before but not the entire length which opened earlier this year. I love that you can buy gourmet ice blocks (ice pops for the non-Aussies and New Zealanders!)- the ones from the People's Pops stand looked so delicious especially in the late afternoon heat- and coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee (which I tried at the San Francisco Farmers Market a couple of years ago) while you stroll/read/chat/photograph/relax.
I spotted this girl as she was sitting doing some study (I think). I loved her yellow Hawaiian print romper and asked if I could take a photograph. 20 seconds later on was on my way again walking the High Line ;)

In Print: Glamour magazine /Revlon

Super happy that Glamour magazine (US) used my portraits of Peony Lim for their Fall Beauty Trends Revlon advertisment.

Saturday is a day for dreaming....


  • of summer days long since gone (oh no wait! It was just two weeks ago in NYC that it was blistering hot ;)


  • of pretty summer dresses in pale mint chiffon (Ataui Deng) and icy blue with tiny dots (Taylor Tomasi-Hill)


  • of relaxed pajama/palazzo pants in the prettiest pink (Marina Larroude) and ivory (Hanne Gaby)

  • of messy, undone braids woven with leather cord (Michael Kors)... a look that would definitely work in "real life"


  • of cream lace Ralph Lauren dresses worn so beautifully by Hanneli.

Saturday is most definitely a day for dreaming (and catching up on sleep;)

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Ataui and Kortney

Beautiful Ataui Deng and her husband (they got married in January!), Kortney William.
Absolutely adore Ataui's palest mint dress and fluffy bag.

London and New York Fashion Weeks SS 2012....Messy Plaits

I can't get enough of the messy, undone braid/plait: the messier, the better.
Love the leather intertwined with the messy braid at Michael Kors- so much prettiness.

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Hanneli

Miss Hanneli Mustaparta in Ralph Lauren. So, so pretty.

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Marina

Yes, it was windy, grey and a tad chilly for most of LFW! Here comes winter.

London Fashion Week SS 2012....Jess

Editor in chief and publisher of beautiful Russh magazine, Jess Blanch before Sass&Bide.

I am having a moment over Jess's fabulous glasses. Having to wear glasses isn't always such a bad thing!

Love those pastel pink glasses and the cheerful pops of colour under her trench. Perfect for a rainy day in Autumn in London.

London Fashion Week SS 2012...Ruby
