Nothing messy or left to chance about this look.

worn with an alluring ‘I-know-something-you-don’t-know’ expression and great hair.

Never before have I seen dungarees worn in this way! Flawless hair, make up and accessorising, the mix of dark hued denim and navy blue (always classic), the smart bag – it all screams BCBG – but the black blazer, quirky spike heels and what could be a band t-shirt add an air of relaxed edginess. The model is Julia Shutenko, and you can find her blog here.

Groomed. A quality I find consistently elusive!

Good use of different textures to dramatic effect. The lovely Naomi Rowland from Two Shoes One Pair (she’s much friendlier than she looks here).

This girl I thought got it just right. She looked fresh, striking, pretty, original, elegant and hip.  I like the little flash of rib cage – miles away from a gaping midriff in the style stakes.

For some reason this lady (and her friend) made me think of the Wizard of Oz… A cool mix of spots and stripes!

A pretty, feminine, classic, cool, smart, wearable look at LFW.

If there’s one thing that LFW always reminds me, it’s that rules are there to be broken, and that the best / most interesting outfits generally break rules. A bit like people maybe. You wouldn’t think that three lots of tartan / plaid in one outfit would work. But it totally does. One ‘rule’ this girl is following however is to mix something with more volume (her top half) with something more fitted (her slim legged trousers). An easy example of how this rule functions – what do you team wide legged trousers with? More often than not, a fitted top. It just works.

Interesting… This lady crossed the street before I could approach her, unfortunately.
