Creepin'

I took this shot about 10 days ago and have been saving it for the right moment.   Earlier today, I was thinking how I wish I'd taken a close up of the leopard print brothel creeper shoes she's wearing - they are, for want of a better word, amazing.  And then, this afternoon, I passed this girl again on Cheshire Street while I was on a major mission to find myself a 70s car coat (which is another story).  I don't know why I didn't stop her for another photo, maybe because she was with someone (I don't like to intrude) or maybe because I was too focused on my task, but I instantly regretted the missed opportunity.  Today I glimpsed she was wearing the same shoes with what looked like a below-the-knee length jersey skirt, another great casual and relaxed look but with real street smarts.  I want her shoes, and I want her style.

Just a quick edit to say that my Styleeast Vintage Ebay shop has now launched, selling lots of my lovely vintage things that I'm sad to part with but hope will go to a nice new home (and free up some wardrobe space for the next lot).  See the link on the right sidebar...happy shopping! Oh and those looking for the leather aviator that I promised would be for sale, sorry to say it sold within 20 minutes so is no longer available!

  5. @ S - funny you should say that, the day I snapped her, a friend texted me saying there were lots of stylish people out on Brick Lane, and he did it in response to seeing a "red haired Alexa" - turned out to be the same girl!

    Yes, please do spend in my shop ha ha...just doing all the photos now, it's a bit laborious!

  9. Wait, let me get this straight: you own a leather aviator jacket and yet you're giving it away? That is too cool for school, J.

    Love this look. She's got the kind of attitude/confidence (same thing) that when people say she looks like a red haired Alexa she probably says 'I was dressing like this all along.'

    It's funny, I didn't now the name for them, but I've got a pair of black suede Hush Puppies that I wear all the time - they're so uncool, they're basically that shape but without the leopard or ties. I love them cause they're so comfortable and I just like that shape.

    I think I know the coat you mean - I was going to do a post on it the past few weeks - it's my mom's and it's buttery camel suede and ripped on the shoulder but I've been wearing it. She always called it a 'car coat' and yes, it was from the 70s.

    I wish you HAD gone (last night). Next season, will drag you to LFNO ; )

    see you soon i hope xox
