From Fashionistable
 It rained all day today. I am sick and tired of being cold and wet. Still went to Graduate Fashion Week though. Tomorrow will be drier so I will be easier to shoot, so I hope to bring you more tomorrow.
Jimmy Q is a model with Select. He is originally from LA but has been living in the UK for a year now and is loving it here. His surprise for us is that he is a professional skateboarder and a tattoo artist. He is wearing a Wacko Maria suit from Japan, vintage shirt and shoes, a pocket watch which belongs to his girlfriends father. His pocket square is a tea towel, now there is improvisation for you. Finally his tie is from Hugo Boss and hat is a Whiteleys.

Out and about....Lifestyle Hunters

From Fashionistable
Linda and Niels of Lifestyle Hunters are great and really stand out in the crowd. The way they co-ordinate is wonderful. I first shot them here and always enjoy bumping into them. There is a lovely anticipation each day to see what their vision for the day is going to be. Today as you can see Linda has matched her tights with Niels coat and dress with his bowtie. Subtle and beautifully done.
Linda is wearing a Denis Deiem dress and Gucci shoes and is carrying a Chanel bag. Niels is wearing a custom made Blue Blood jean suit, a coat of his own design and Santoni shoes.

.....the rain. I wanted to document the Jubilee. Hope you have enjoyed what I saw. Sunday was a tough day to be out. I am not surprised the Duke is ill it was a lot to ask of a 90 year old man, standing up in the rain. It was tough for me and I am much younger and healthier. More images to follow of Tuesdays events.

Out and about....Diamond Jubilee Weekend

From Fashionistable

From Fashionistable
Let the party begin. London has been preparing for weeks now for the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations and I am sure this is also being played out in towns and villages across the UK. There are Union Jacks everywhere. I will be out and about on the Sunday and Tuesday it will be such a historic long weekend and am really looking forward to it. If you are in the UK what are you up to? All you guys from around the world will you be watching on the telly? I thought the pictures of Ben were the prefect way to kick of this great weekend for us. See what I mean about the Union Jacks. Ben is an Interiors Consultant and is originally from Middlesbrough. He is however on the move again as his surprise was that he was about to hand in his resignation and go traveling around S. America for 4 months starting with Belize. His style influence is eclectic East London, it is also his favourite place in London. To continue our very British theme he is wearing an Alexander McQueen coat - isn't the detailing wonderful. His shirt is Dior, jeans Topman, DM boots, necklace from Camden Market and his bracelets are by JW Anderson.
