For A level he is going to study Art, History, English Lit and Sociology. After that Uni, to do his Foundation Art year and then Fashion or Art. I love it when people know their direction and go for it. He had just been shopping at <a href="http://www.beyondretro.com/">Beyond Retro</a> and says he is solidly vintage. His style inspiration is the 80's, he also likes different textures and shapes. Sam's favourite places are the V&A and the photographers gallery. His surprising thing is that he makes jewelery. However I think this is great as it fits perfectly with all the other things he likes to do. It could be what he does in life. We could be looking at this countries next big jewelery designer. I love Sam's hat. It was one of the reson's I stopped him, he bought it in Brick Lane. His jacket and cut offs are from <a href="http://www.rokit.co.uk/">Rokit</a>, the shirt is his mums,  (I have met a few guys recently who have been raiding their mums wardrobe - and girls raiding their boyfriends). Shoes are <a href="http://www.drmartens.com/">DM's</a>. He bought his bag in a sweet shop that also had a few accessories to sell in Columbia Rd and his chain is from Ebay.

At the moment she is having fun playing with composition, she also loves the effects she gets from different camera phones and experimenting. Generally she loves fashion photography and styling.

So we headed to the park. They have great relaxed outside eating and drinking so we joined in. Laura passed us at one point so I was up and after her. She is originally from London and has been living in Holland for 2 and a half years now. She moved there to work for O'Neill and it is her job to drive traffic to their <a href="http://www.oneill.com/">website</a>, have a look. Bet she didn't think she would be working on her time off. When she chooses what to wear she likes to feel good so usually it is casual she reaches for. Right now as the weather is great she likes to wear as little as possible, global warming chic she calls it. Laura's dress is from <a href="http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/?kw=american%20apparel">American Apparel</a>, her shoes are <a href="http://www.birkenstock.co.uk/">Birkenstock</a>, bag is <a href="http://www.allsaints.com/">All Saints</a> (she wishes there was an All Saints in Holland) and jewelery is <a href="http://www.monsoon.co.uk/icat/accessorize">Accessorize</a>. There is a little heart in the middle of her <a href="http://www.moschino.com/prehome.asp?lang=ENG">Moschino</a> glasses.

Her travels brought her from Romania. I was saying what a lovely city Amsterdam was, but she told me she preferred London and Dubai. She likes to dress outside the rules and is a bit of a rebel at heart. She described her style today as elegant sport. Mirela told me she likes photography although she doesnt do it. I said well you have to start if you want to do it. She agreed. Otherwise she loves to skiing  and dancing. Her jacket is by <a href="http://www.celine.com/">Celine</a>, she couldnt remember who the jumpsuit was by. Her bag is <a href="http://www.chopard.com/">Chopard</a>, boots are <a href="http://www.cesare-paciotti.com/">Cesare Paciotti</a> and glasses are <a href="http://www.ray-ban.com/uk">Ray Ban</a>.

The biggest most surprising thing is that she is 35 I nearly fell over when she told me. When I told Mr Fashionistable he said we need some of the same genes as her. Now I dont normally ask peoples ages as I feel it is irrelevant when it comes to style. When I saw Manuela she was in a busy shopping street in Amsterdam and when I asked if I could take her picture she said yes if we could wait for her daughter. I said of course. Of course. When her daughter came out of the shop with her slice of pizza I was surprised on 2 levels one that she was older than I thought she would be (she is 9) and was beautiful like her mother but looked totally different. She was much lighter in colour and had the most striking blue eyes. I had to ask how was this possible and Manuela told me that she looks just like her (Manuela's) mum. Manuela is Dutch and designs accessories and jewelery. Her style inspiration is mostly vintage. For this shot Manuela's hat is a <a href="http://www.stetsonhat.com/">Stetson</a>, Her jacket and top are <a href="http://www.hm.com/">H&M</a>, her gold belt used to belong to her mum when she was young. The shorts are from <a href="http://www.zara.com/">Zara</a> and her shoes are Italian. Then the bag she is wearing is vintage and the pink bag in the basket on the front of her bike is <a href="http://www.longchamp.com/">Longchamp</a>.

I just love them. Aldona is originally from Kosovo but has been living in London for 12 years now. She is currently a student and has just finished her first year at the University of the Arts, studying marketing and advertising. What she wears is mood dependent but generally it is a mix of either hippy chick, classy or elegance brought together by mixing high st with high end pieces. Her favourite designers are McQueen and Vera Wang. She loves dancing, fashion and music and says she is a creative person. In her spare time she works for Diesel, but during the summer she will also be going to Kosovo and Turkey on holiday. Aldona's look today consists of a jacket from <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/">Urban Outfitters</a>, dress from <a href="http://www.diesel.com/collection/diesel-black-gold">Diesel Black Gold</a> collection, <a href="http://www.zara.com/">Zara</a> shoes, <a href="http://www.mulberry.com/">Mulberry</a> bag and <a href="http://www.ray-ban.com/uk">Ray Bans</a>.<br />I am off now and will see you all again on Wednesday. Going to Amsterdam for a nice long weekend. Have a great weekend when it comes. Xxxx
