New York Fashion Week AW 2012...MJ

MJ, after Rodarte, NYC, February 2012

Absolutely adore Aussie model, MJ (Wilhelmina agency) she is super nice, funny and very grounded. And you get the feeling that no matter how big she becomes, she will always remain that way.

And I loved that she walked in the Rodarte show. MJ still lives at home in Alice Springs in Australia (which is pretty much at the heart of the Australian Outback) and the Mulleavy sisters' inspiration for the fall collection was.....The Australian Outback!

New York Fashion Week AW 2012....Aymeline

The Bike surfaces again! This time with model Aymeline Valade onboard :)

Recreate Aymeline's look (kind of):

Smythe leather trimmed duster coat

Whistles green and navy blue Dot Spot Scarf

Alexander Wang Diego bucket bag or try the leather and mesh Scuba bag (which I can't type without thinking of Along Came Polly "Are you guys for scuba?")!

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Margaret

Another girl whose style I am obsessing over is Aussie beauty Margaret Zhang, Editor of Shine by Three blog and commerce/law student.

I adore the simple white column dress (white dresses like this remind me a little of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's  Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress) teamed with the blazer and beaded scarf necklace. Simple, elegant and beautiful.

Recreate Margaret's Look (kind of):

BCBGMAXAZRIA white T-back dress (love three four things about this dress: it skims rather than hugs the body, it isn't too "bridal" nor beachy, it isn't just for after-dark, and it has an interesting back - perfect for showing off sun-kissed skin).

Roarke coralline scarf necklace  (from Anthropologie US). I also love the peter pan collar necklaces from Dannijo this season - an easy way to update a simple outfit, and achieve a similar look to the scarf necklace. Dannijo Hixson collar necklace or Dannijo bronze chain link peter pan collar both investment pieces which would last for years.

And then just add a punchy coloured blazer of your choice (with sleeves rolled up of course!). Try Elizabeth and James Spring Jim blazer in tiger lily or Rag & Bone 42nd Street blazer in turquoise.

New York Fashion Week AW 2012

Love these two girls....I kept bumping into them together (and neglected to get their names).

Love the masculine suiting on the girl on the right and the cropped length of her trousers. And how happy and fun are her socks/tights?

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Suzie

Suzie Bird, after 3.1 Philip Lim, NYC, February 2012.

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Justine

Justine Couvillion, Rag & Bone's West Coast Account Executive, before Rag & Bone, NYC, February 2012.

Recreate Justine's Look (kind of):

Rag & Bone Sliver Tuxedo jacket (in lemon curry)

Rag & Bone Racine printed wide leg pants. The Geo print shorts are really cute as well and would look fabulous with the Sliver tuxedo jacket and a plain t-shirt for summer.

Proenza Schouler PS1 pouch (love the neon yellow and coral colours for spring/summer)

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Sabrina

Sabrina Meijer, the beautiful Dutch gal behind AfterDRK blog, NYC, February 2012.

Recreate Sabrina's super-cute look (kind of):

If you can't get your hands on a pair of the Acne Pop Trash boyfriend jeans (which I think are pretty much sold out everywhere), try Current/Elliott The Boyfriend cropped jeans  or ASOS high-waisted slim boyfriend jeans or Blank Denim relaxed straight leg jeans (a little less boyfriendy).

Helene Berman wide brimmed wool-felt hat

New York Fashion Week AW 2012....Tamu

Tamu always looks amazing but this was one of my favourite looks that she wore during NYFW. I love the crisp white button-down shirt with the beautiful flower-print skirt (conservative and playful all at once), and of course those darling bow-topped heels with neon socks. And probably no need to point out her lovely Celine bag ;)

Recreate Tamu's look (kind of):

Christopher Kane blue and silver cut-out jacquard skirt or Sandro neon pink Joyeuse skirt or ASOS pale pink jacquard skirt (a little more volume but still entirely wearable for day).

Theory Devyna white fitted shirt

Miu Miu bow embellished pumps (just add socks!)

p.s. Check out British Vogue this month (April) to see Tamu in her stunning apartment in Milan. Go girl!

New York Fashion Week AW 2012

Love all the colours in this fur gilet (or is it part of her leather jacket?) and her cute Tory Burch Amanda logo clutch/bag. Fabulous in vermilion colour for summer.

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Juju

Juju Ivanyuk, after Badgley Mischka (she opened the show), NYC, February 2012.

New York Fashion Week AW 2011...Joan

Joan Smalls in pansy-print Givenchy, after Carolina Herrera, NYC, February 2012.

Recreate Joan's look (kind of):

Givenchy Iris tee or shirt (Iris = the new Pansy print)

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Eve

British model Eve Delf, after Ruffian, NYC, February 2012.

With her pale, pale skin, red lips and the snow, there is a touch of the fairytale Snow White about Eve.....certainly a modern day Snow White with those Dr. Martens ;)

How beautiful would that hair and make-up be with this Marc Jacobs lamé and neon-lime 1920's flapper-style dress (we can only dream!)?

Is anyone having a snowy weekend this weekend? If you are, have a wonderful time out playing in it. London is expected to be rainy and rather grey.
