The Little Black Chic!

Mixing your styles!

The Monster Scarf!

It's starting to get pretty cold again and when you hanging about on the streets looking for people, you certainly feel it! I've noticed that the big scarves, big hoods and lots of layering have started to take over the streets with the women! Gemma here wears a mixture of Topshop (Coat & Boots) and Primark (Scarf) with a nice Chanel bag to glam it up! She certainly looks pretty chic for the turn of the weather!

50s Geek

With the change in Men's fashion trends over recent times, it appears that the geek is more of an icon than the grease monkey these days. In the same way that the nerds of the breakfast club suddenly became cooler than the jocks in the 80s, as we continue our obsession with all things 50s in the late noughties, Eugene now has more street cred than Danny Zuko! I personally love the rise of the tailored mens look and I think the great fashion blogger the Sartorialist has a lot to do with its rise in popularity through his love of the cloth! It may be simply a London demography thing here in the UK at the min, but who knows whether we will actually see the metrosexuals of provincial Britain take this trend on eventually too? Its about time they got away from all those pink printed t-shirts and Toni & Guy haircut!

Roll out the Geek!

This is Elsa Andrade who we caught out and about the other day wearing a top hat and jacket from Zara, ripped up denim shorts and boots from Brighton.

The stylehunter herself!

Ok, I might be biased here but when out and about stylehunting the other day my partner in crime, Grazia's Hannah Almassi, did look pretty amazing herself and I felt it was time she was style hunted too!

An illustration of life!

I've just found out through Grazia that a fellow blogger called Genya Yodko aka 'Stylish Goose' has produced some fantastic illustrations of some of her favourite girls I photographed for the Grazia Stylehunter Tour. Please go and have a look at all her beautiful illustrations at http://www.stylishgoose.blogspot.com/

This is Genya's take on Kelly from Nottingham!

Golden Princess

I stumbled across Amelia Thomas in Sloane Square the other day and I have to say she looks amazing! At this time of year its all about heading for those blacks and greys and how depressing does that get to photograph after a while? So Amelia's bright yellow colourful coat put a smile on my face. She picked it up from Daite and teamed it with a nice little tartan skirt from Topshop and some lovely red boots from Howells!

Portobello Road - Anorak Attack

Its not often you can get an anorak to look cool and stylish, but this one is from new Swedish designer Max Jenny. Add a nice pair of leggings and brogues to balance out the shape and Teres Arvidsson here is one stylish lady! I adore the splash of colour on the colar with the beautiful ring and purple socks!

On the streets this week - East London

Autumn on the West Side

After the 7 weeks of touring over the Summer, the 69 finalists for the Stylehunter Awards were released in a whopping 24 page supplement in Grazia Magazine last week.

Layering in London

I spotted Charlotte in London recently and absolutely adored her layered-up style, perfect for keeping warm now the weather's changing! Its slouchy yet chic with an Issey Miyake scarf, rucksack from designer Sophie Hulme and paired up with those fantastic wedges from Topshop!
