The shop where Amy works as a sales assistant and front of house has got to be chocolate heaven.
I walked passed and walked back, Amy looked so relaxed in her sweet surroundings. She describes her style as old school vintage. Her favourite place in London is Camden. Our surprise is that she represented England baton twirling. I have only ever met one other baton twirler and he was a waiter in a restaurant in Miami we used to go to when I was an assistant. He used to twirl the salt and pepper before offering it to us. It was pretty impressive. Here Amy is wearing a Primark scarf, a H&M kids jacket, Topman shirt, Zara trousers and her shoes are called Flossy and are from Office.

I love red hair and Marianne's is great. Having said that she has just gone a beautiful blue... you can check out her new colour on her site Style Devil. In the 1st picture she is wearing a jacket by Castle Byach, Mardou and Dean trousers, Costume National shoes, a Cubus scarf and is carrying a Alexander Wang bag. I dont know what she is wearing in the second shot (except for the bag of course) but was loving her fun look.

I really love photographing Toni. When we go to shoot I always feel he has pulled out all the stops for me. But then he is a very creative guy and incredibly inventive with it. He is a Fashion Blogger, Student (studying Architecture) and a pretty good photographer to boot. This wonderful ensemble is made up of 2 blankets he bought at the airport to make his scarf, Topman jacket, shirt and cross bought in Vietnam, wrist strap from a Portuguese market. The top part of his trousers are cut down Diesel jeans which have bee dyed with brown shoe wax which made them go this dark purpley colour. The legs of his trousers are the arms of a Pull & Bear shirt. The straps around the trouser legs are 2 bracelets put together also from Pull and Bear. His rucksack is Desigual and the boots are Japanese. His style influence is Japanese Street Style and says it is all about the jewelry and studs.

Out and about....the first Vogue Festival

To say how happy I am when Vogue call would be an understatement and when they asked me to cover the first ever Vogue Festival with PR and Street Chic pictures I was blown away. The list of speakers read like a who's who of the fashion world. It was a brilliant idea that came together smoothly and seemingly effortlessly which belied the enormous effort that went it to make it just so good. And all I can say to you all is look out for it next year and nab your tickets quick. It will be money well spent. For me it was 2, full on days of shooting getting shots ready on site and uploaded to Vogue as the event was happening so they could live as it was happening. Then yesterday was a full day of prepping the Street Chic work. All that on top of battling with a cold that had me loose my voice on Friday which meant I had to whisper to everyone. I really hope you like the results. I don't think I have ever produced so many pictures in such a short time. To see the PR images click here - they are not all mine I have a credit for the ones I took. To see the Street Chic images click here - the 1st 30 are mine.

When I asked Portia what she did she said that she was a Model and a Mum.  Two wonderful jobs to have. Portia's son is now two and she models through Premier.

The incredibly pretty Miroslava Duma is the Contributing Editor, Editor and Founder of Buro 24/7.
And just 5 months after the birth of her first son she still has an almost innocent quality about her. In the first image she is wearing Chloe, Fendi shoes and a Venessa Arizagu necklace. In the second image she is wearing Vika Gazinskaya. When I was putting this post together (last night) I realised ahh she has orange accessories - should have posted this after the boys. Ah well now we have some orange for the girls.

I caught Laura as she was on her way to work and you can see why I stopped her. That pop of green with the animal print and BAM I was wide awake. This was far too good to miss. Laura works for Miss Selfridge in their head office. She is a Brand Co-Ordinator which involves working with buying, merchandising, tec and one other dept - please forgive me I was doing the interview as we walked along and as you all know my handwriting at the best of times is far from perfect....it is also why I forgot to ask what she is wearing - 2 apologies. Now I did remember to ask Laura's style influence which is high street, festivals, Mary Katrantzou and Stella McCartney, mixing high street with designer. Her favourite place in London is Covent Garden and her surprise is that she is a bit of a geek. She loves gaming and the Wii which she plays with her boyfriend.

During Paris Fashion Week I only got to see Imogen (from eightlondon) once and that was for dinner. She was greatly missed. So when she told me she was back in town to shoot the new look book and promote a new range of bags for Jitrois (who she is interning with in Paris) of course I headed over to see her. After viewing the new Autumn/Winter collection, I took the opportunity to take some shots of Imogen. Imagine my delight when she lifted 2 of the bags from the new range to use in the shots. They are beautiful but also cleverly designed with a section in the middle especially to carry your iPad and are called Margot. It would feel amazing rocking up for an appointment to show my work and take my iPad out of one of these little beauties. How cool would that be. I have been wanting to put a bit more movement into my work for a while now so it was brilliant when Imogen jumped for me. It was fun to do so hope develop and use movement more from now on.
