She looked so amazing with her red hair and stripy dress (that I wish I could get away with) so I was straight off the phone so I could speak to her. Now I am quite tall at 5"9' but she was taller and when I photographed her she moved really well - and with that look and beautiful skin, it didn't really come as a surprise when she told me she was a model. What was surprising though is that she is the second model from <a href="http://www.nevsmodels.co.uk/model.php?mname=Tillie&tname=women&tsection=main">Nevs</a> I have met in a week. Tillie is from Brighton and even though she has lived there all her life she still loves living by the sea. When I asked her to tell me something else about herself she told me she loves to bake cakes. Always has. She finds it very therapeutic. On the style front she said she doesn't really think about it and guessed she finds her inspiration on the street. Today everything Tillie is wearing is from <a href="http://www.hm.com/">H&M</a>. Except for her belt but she couldn't remember where she got it and her shoes which are from <a href="http://www.asos.com/Women/A-To-Z-Of-Brands/Faith/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=5090#parentID=-1&pge=0&pgeSize=20&sort=-1">Faith</a>. Her fingers and toes were painted in an amazing vivid orangey, pinky colour. She had, had them done for her and couldn't remember what the colour was. I wish you all a wonderful bright and vivid long bank holiday weekend. Enjoy yourselves. Xxxx

The wonderful light and the sunshine just lift the spirits. Dressing for the sunshine however I find challenging. Paula on the other hand has it sussed. I love this cool sharp look. And those shoes and her right on trend bag - perfect. So, the look is comprised of shorts from <a href="http://www.zara.com/">Zara</a> (which is were I spotted her, I was buying those blue trousers I was talking about last week). Her top is from <a href="http://gap.eu/?tid=gogobkz8t&kwid=1&ap=7&sem=true&adid=tnc[&creative=%7Bcreative%7D">Gap</a>. All teamed up with a <a href="http://www.mulberry.com/?gclid=CL_v7eKg7qECFQRd4wod-SDIJQ">Mulberry</a> bag and <a href="http://www.flylondon.com/">Fly</a> shoes. Paula's hair is her natural colour. She said she decided to give in to the gray. Great decision I say it is an amazing colour. She likes to keep her style classic and simple, not fussy or patterned.<br /> When I asked Paula if she worked she said no then proceeded to tell me she had 3 children, so I beg to differ there. I would say they keep her pretty busy (I interviewed her as we walked down the street as she had to head home to do the school run). Although originally from London, Paula and her family have lived all over the place, France, Kuwait and Beirut, but have been back in London for the past 2 years. When I met her she was with her Mum who I am sure is happy to have them all back in the UK.<br />What was amazing was although I had never met Paula before we both thought we knew each other from somewhere. Still wondering.

Well actually it is 2 coats. The outer one has no sleeves, the inner is a blazer. Both are from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=19551">Topshop</a>. When I asked her what her style influence was she told me usually just what she see's and likes. However her sister is a stylist in LA and when she comes home they go shopping. She said that if she didn't go shopping with her sis, then everything she wore would end up being black. Kerry is the editor for BA's <a href="http://www.bahighlife.com/destinations/The-50-most-authentic-places-on-earth.html">Highlife</a> mag and has worked on the mag for the last 4 years. Prior to that she worked for the Independent, the Standard and Glamour. Pretty cool eh.

Why do my comfy heels turn into instruments of torture when I wear them without socks or tights? So today I am in longer trousers, socks and flats until my poor toes heal.

So Kayze is my second creative Brazilian this week. She works freelance and says 'so far so good'.<br />For style she looks to Oiliva Palermo, Alexa Chung, vintage and high fashion for inspiration. For artistic inspiration she looks to mid century 1930's design and architecture.

When I first walked passed him he gave me a great big smile. I dont know why I didnt ask him there and then if I could take his picture but I didnt. Maybe it was because I had other people to photograph first and I knew on some other level he wasnt rushing off somewhere else. Anyway my journey brought me back in his direction and I found myself hoping he was still sitting in the same place. And you know what? He was and he smiled again, so that was it I had to ask. When I had taken his picture and asked if I could ask him a few questions he invited me to sit down and offered me a glass of champagne. See what I mean, stylish, elegant and gracious. Edward owns Davidoff of London, which sells fine cigars from all over the world, and is situated on the corner of Jermyn Street and St James Street (No. 35). He described Jermyn street as a village for gentlemen. I would agree. It is a great shopping area in London aimed mainly for men. His own style is comprised of suit and tie by <a href="http://www.faconnable.com/ad-campaign.php?language=english">Faconnable</a> (designer Albert Goldberg). Shoes by <a href="http://www.crockettandjones.co.uk/">Crockett and Jones</a>. He told me he opened his shop 30 years ago this month. So it is a big birthday month for Davidoff London. He said that his job is his hobby, that it is a joy and a pleasure. I think you can see this in his face. He is definatley a man who is happy in his own skin. When I was talking to him and even now I find myself thinking about <a href="http://www.paulocoelho.com/">Paulo Coelho</a>. I dont know why. Maybe he reminds me of one of his hero's who have realised their true path. I asked Edward where the name Davidoff came from as his family name is Sahakian, what inspired the name. The original owner was called Zino Davidoff who was Jewish and had to flee from Russia when he was 6 with his parents in 1905 to Geneva where they set up as tobacconists. He told me that in those days cigarettes were rolled by hand. As a young man Zino went off travelling to S.America and Cuba where he discovered cigars. When he returned home he brought some with him and told his parents they were going to sell these instead. And the rest as they say is history.

However when they are wearing heels also at least I am in with a chance. Even so it took persistence to catch up with Irina. I had seen her across quite a busy street and I had to wait for 2 sets of lights..... Anyway persistence paid off this time.<br />Irina is originally from Belarus. She now runs a company here called <a href="http://www.purifyne.com/">Purifyne</a> have a look. It is a juice detox "to make you healthier, younger and lighter for longer". She certainly looks good on it.<br />Irina's style influences are the classic's. Cuts that wont go out of fashion that are timeless and can still be worn in 15 or 20 years time. Her great feminine brogues  are from <a href="http://www.bally.com/">Bally</a>, I would love a pair of these too. Irina's jacket is from <a href="http://www.jackwills.com/">Jack Wills</a> (isn't the pink lining of the collar a nice touch), her glasses are <a href="http://www.tomford.com/">Tom Ford</a>. The trousers are from <a href="http://www.ralphlauren.co.uk/global/V2/default.asp?cid=12&langid=1&sto=&camp=AVEA_InternationalSearch_GoogleUK">Ralph Lauren</a> and her bag is <a href="http://www.anyahindmarch.com/">Anya Hindmarch</a>. Irina had 2 cool touches to her style which you cant see from the angle of the shot I have chosen. The first was her lovely crisp white vintage shirt, Irina had trimmed the collar herself. The second was her belt. She had used the detachable shoulder strap from her bag as her belt. Wish I has taken a close up to show you. 2 nice personal touches.

As some of you will know from her blog we met when she was down in London for the day. Although we had both met bloggers before we had never intentionally met up with one before. So of course I had to photograph her for you all. I love following Clare she has a great eye for new designers and photography check her out <a href="http://iliketweet.blogspot.com/">here.</a> I feel I learn something new from her every day. She just did an interview with <a href="http://community.blog.qype.com/2010/05/05/blogger-interview-clare-from-tweet/">Qype</a> (read here) which gives you a lovely insight into her background. For her own style she told me her inspiration comes from blogs and street style. Her favourite colour is black, it is a great staple. Clare is wearing a <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=19551">Topshop</a> leather jacket and stripey top. <a href="http://www.houseofholland.co.uk/">Henry Holland</a> shorts for <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/women/h-by-henry-holland?CMP=KNC-GoogleAd&_$ja=kw:henry+holland%7Ccgn:Henry+Holland+-+Generics%7Ccgid:796097516%7Ctsid:16418%7Ccn:H%21+by+Henry+Holland%7Ccid:25558106%7Clid:567642170%7Cmt:Exact%7Cnw:search%7Ccrid:3856101446">Debenhams</a>. We both agreed we loved a good pair of 120 denier tights. The pair Clare is wearing is from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=19551">Topshop</a>. Her shoes are from <a href="http://www.office.co.uk/">Office</a> and her lovely contrasting bag was £1 from Portobello market. When I asked Clare her favourite place in the world was I was very impressed with her reply. So may of us are looking for greener grass, how cool is it when it is right under your feet. Clare's favourite place in the world is home - it is where her heart is. Very cool.

Then to top it all off she told me she is a model with <a href="http://www.stormmodels.com/ImogenParry.html?boardId=89372">Storm</a>. She was a bit reluctant to go for it, so I hope I have allayed her fears now she can see her shot. Imogen told me her style inspirations are <a href="http://www.style.com/peopleparties/celebritysearch/person4728">Alice Dellal</a> and <a href="http://www.rihannanow.com/">Rihannah</a>. She likes watching their style rather than it being something she would necessarily wear herself.

And as Adorngirl has just said she liked the backdrop for Kaori and Sitot I thought I would share them with you. When I photographed Elle a few weeks back we found ourselves looking up at blossom and saying how wonderful it looked. This was a much better day to shoot it. They look wonderful in the center of a blue screen as a screen saver. You can imagine lying under the tree and dreaming of summer. Enjoy.

Kaori was very shy and if she had not been with Sitot she would have said no. Kaori is from Japan and Sitot is from Senegal and they met in London. They were on their way to Portobello market to have the red wheel fixed. Sitot bought bicycle there the previous week and the wheel had problems already. He had bought the bicycle for excersise and pointed to his tummy. "Too much beer" I said, "Oh no" he said "too much good Japanese food." and smiled. Kaori likes to shop in vintage and charity shops and her skirt and jacket are from her local favourite. Her white shirt was bought in Japan and her shoes in Paris.  Sitot bought his jacket and trousers in Portobello market. Kaori brought him his shirt from Japan, it is made from Kimono silk material.
