Out and about....the fame bureau

From Fashionistable
Portobello Road on a Sunday is a much quieter place than it's rowdy Saturday sister as the crowds have usually made their way East. I had already walked the length of the road and was on my way back when I met Ted. Ted is the MD of the The Fame Bureau where he sells high end rock 'n' roll memorabilia. He also manages a girl band called Blond (cant find a link). Ted is a Londoner and his favourite place is Hampstead where he said he grew up. Ted is wearing a jacket from Gieves and Hawkes, waistcoat is vintage Hornes, he couldn't remember where his shirt is from, jeans American Apperal, shoes are Churches and glasses Ray Ban.

Out and about....modern tribal

Surprisingly I have met quite a lot of stylists recently on my travels. I am thinking they are living up to their name and Nasrin is no exception in this story. She has great personal style and her work is wonderful too - you can see it here. I was very lucky to catch her as I had spotted her across the street but when I went to catch up with her she disappeared. Luckily I was still in the area (I had popped into a shop to buy a sandwich) when she came wondering back. She told me that her style influences are based on memories are emotional and eclectic. It is a mix of all sorts of things from the four corners of the earth. She is a Londoner and her favourite place in the city is Portobello Rd. She couldn't think of anything surprising to tell me about herself so I asked what the last movie she had watched was, she told me she had just rewatched The Notebook and loved it all over again. Her look today is made up of a headscarf from Kooples, dress from H&M, Topshop shoes, vintage bag, necklace from NYC and harness by Hannah Marshall.

Out and about....Westbourne Grove

Malgosia is an artist, a painter. In fact that beautiful scarf around her neck is a print of one her own works. Originally from Poland she has been living in the UK for 12 years now. She told me she loves to travel and has traveled a lot to Japan, Europe and the US where she really likes Arizona. For style influence she looks to the elegant female, but not too much. She bought her coat in Poland, the bag is McQueen, shoes Margiela, she found the trousers and the top is from a market.
