Bring on the tights


Wearing of tights at this time of year is tricky, you don't want to seem like a summer party pooper and get the black opaques out too early. This girl, pictured (of course) on Brick Lane, has got the perfect solution. White tights! Somehow summery and practical all at once. And paired to perfection with a cute pastel cardi, the whole look kept firmly on the right side of twee thanks to the black details, a clashing tan satchel and undone hair.  Cute as a button.

Oh and while you're here, might you be so kind as to leave some nice words for my entry on Vogue's Street Chic shortlist, HERE?  I'd be most grateful, especially given the competition I'm up against!

  6. Oh, my, that's EMILY!! She's a friend. I met her thru street shooting her outside Topshop on Oxford ST. I've used her as a model and was meaning to get in tough - I might have even told you about her. I always wanted to do a shoot with you two cause you look quite similar, just light and dark hair. How funny. She looks gorgeous there! She's got the BEST style.

    Oh I forgot why I came here: to say definitely apply now. It's surprisingly easier than you'd think. Just click thru on the link on my post - there's a thing for 'apply' - go for a press pass - the only thing that's more tricky is a photographer's pass but everyone is amazed at how easy it is. I just assumed it was difficult and the first time (last sept) I went thru a friend. Sorry such a long comment, should have sent as an email! Have fun. Can't wait to see you. xo

  11. She IS so cute! The bows, the peter pan collar, the baby pink and white...

    I've started wearing my tights - wore maroon ones yesterday - it's too cold to wear shorts on their own now!

  13. It's tricky to wear tights anytime of the year here. I live in Hawaii and it's pretty much "summer" year round. I still wear them though. :)

    Lovin' your cardi/sweater. The bows are super sweet.

    xx Love & Aloha
