Zac works for Louboutin how cool is that. Saying that when I asked him his surprise he told me that he has 300 pairs of shoes and that his new flat has a room just for shoes. Now here is a man whose love of shoes has him working for one of the best. Style wise Zac dresses with his mood which can be flamboyant or casual. He likes to wear a lot of designer brand key pieces which are an easy fit with high street. He also has a lot of fur. Zac's favourite place in London is Shoreditch House.

Out and about....relaxing in the shade

From Fashionistable
It is wonderful to have the sun here. I look forward to it and look forward to it, then when it arrives I  find myself looking for the shade. But the light and the warmth are still good there. I am also so pale I have to be careful. What about you guys can you be in the full sun all day or like me have to balance the two? Margo is a drama student and models a little too. Her wonderful dress is by Jas di Orange.

Out and about....art of the trench

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
I first met up with William almost 2 years ago when he was in town with his Mum for his birthday. At the time I was taking pic's for the Vogue Street style competition. You can see the picture I took of him then, here. William was at university at the time and his goal then was to work for Vogue. Since we last met he has moved to London and is in the middle of a masters in fashion journalism. It was good to see him and learn that he is still concentrating on his goal to work for Vogue. He describes his style as tailored. For summer he is channeling Brideshead Revisited for his look, wearing cravats etc. Today he is wearing an Aquascutum trench, TM Lewin shirt, vintage bowtie, Primark cardy, Levis jeans, his dads belt, John Lewis boots (they are his favourite Chelsea boots) and carrying a Mulberry bag.

Charlotte is a 2nd year student at Farnham and was on work placement in London when we met. When I asked about her style she told me she was Gothy but has toned it down a bit. Very pretty Goth I say. She also said she never wears jeans. Her favourite places in London are Brick Lane and Soho. Charlotte's surprise for us is that she used to Ice Skate in Ice Skating shows. Her jacket is from All Saints (I would love one the same), skirt is Jack Wills which she is wearing with a petticoat (she only wears shirts with petticoats), top H&M, boots DMs and she is carrying a Ferragamo bag.

Out and about....flower of Scotland

From Fashionistable
Eleanor is a dentist and is in London job hunting. She would like to move down from the Highlands. As the educational system is slightly different there than here she has been having problems with practices here accepting her qualifications when she has been sending her CV. So she has taken the bull by the horns and has come here in person in the hope she can sway opinion that way. Her style influence for today is smart as she is job hunting. However she told me that usually it is comfy and classic cuts. Her favourite place in London is Sloane Square. She loves the smaller villagey feel there. Her surprises for us were that she like running, she does charity work and loves being by the water. As she is from a fishing community it is what she will miss the most when she moves to London. Eleanor's jacket, top and trousers are all from Reiss, scarf Sole Per-Te, shoes Dune and she is carrying a Mischa Barton bag.

Out and about....the golden diamond

From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
From Fashionistable
I have to start my post by saying that the 1st image today is one of the reasons I truly love streetstyle photography all summed up in one word, spontaneity. If I had been setting this up we would have had to get a whole team together and cast the bike and rider for the background. Well maybe the guy on the bike would have looked different, but apart from that I couldn't have asked for more. It is such a kick when you see it all fall into place in the lens. And to have Doina as the main focus of the shot, perfect. Doina is the force behind The Golden Diamonds, her about me says that her biggest dreams are to develop the Fashion Industry in Moldova and also to become a politician. So quite a broad brush of interests. She has certainly been making in roads on the fashion front as I was just reading in her tweets that the shoot for her own collection was taking place on yesterday - Monday. And you will eventually be able to see it and buy it from here. So to give you a flavour of what to expect, the skirt and shirt in the 1st shot are her own design, which she has paired with an Armani coat, Chloe shoes and YSL bag. In the second the jacket is her own design, worn with Massimo Dutti jeans, Zara sweater, Chloe shoes and is carrying her iPad in a Stella McCartney iPad cover. Her last look is made up of a polo neck and skirt from ASOS, vintage lace over the polo, YSL shoes and she is carrying a Moschino bag.

Now isn't this a clever way to advertise your brand - write it on your bag for everyone to see. Nancy works for online magazine Un Brin Allurees, but also designs her own jewelery. The necklace and animal head rings she is wearing are her own. Her top was designed by her friend Julia Proha and her trousers are Zara.

Out and about....Giovanna Battaglia red accents

From Fashionistable
She is a favourite. Loving the red accents here. From the glasses to the details in the jumper, flashes of red on the clutch completed with the wonderful red shoes. Up close on the shoe between the heel of the shoe and the stiletto is a little flash of animal print - genius.

From Fashionistable'
It was Taras's first time in London. He works in advertising in Moscow. He had only been in London for 1 day when we met so when I asked him where his favourite place was he couldn't tell me as he hadn't had enough time to find out yet. So I asked him where his favourite place in Moscow was and he was able to tell me that Balchug Island on the river Moscova is a great place. He said an old factory had been converted into an Arts and Culture center saying it was the most European part of Moscow and was fun and new. Taras style influence's are The Mods and The Italian's. His surprise was that his whole outfit cost less than $1,000. He is wearing a DNA jacket, Carimissma shirt and tie, Howard Yount trousers and DNA groove shoes.
