I am going to start with her surprising things, Rachel was <a href="http://www.aboutaberdeen.com/rachaeltennent.php">Miss Great Britian </a>in 2007.

Her favourite places in London are Hampstead Heath and Hyde Park in summer. I love this look and was amazed when she told me how she put it together, here we go. Glasses are <a href="http://www.ray-ban.com/uk">Ray Ban</a>, cape<a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/home/uk/en/zara-S2011"> Zara</a>, vintage playsuit, <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=33057">Topshop</a> belt, <a href="http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-shop/women?gclid=CIaK8NKlg6cCFYIlfAodTAtwdg">KG</a> shoes and <a href="http://www.chloe.com/#/en">Chloe</a> bag. I also thought her accessories helped set the whole look off - 2 necklaces, the longer one is a key and belonged to her grandma, the second was a cameo from <a href="http://www.accessorize.com/">Accessorize</a>. Her other cameo, the brooch, used to belong to her boyfriends grandma. Altogether a  great combination.

As we got off at the same stop I thought perfect great start to the day. Chloe is a Londoner. She has just graduated from Westminster and is working for <a href="http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/">Calumet</a> at the moment. Chloe is also a photographer, you can see her work <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/paintedcherryred">here</a>. She told me 'I photograph anything and everything at the moment until I work out exactly what I want to do'. For her pictures she likes to shoot on film and says 'it's very expensive, but I like it'. I am purely digital now but I know there are quite a few of you out there who still have celluloid dreams. I just love the magic of digital. Isn't it great we all have a choice now. It was Chloe's red hair that caught my eye and all those lovely warm layers. Her style influence's are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edie_Sedgwick">Edie Sedgwick</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Mosshart">Alison Mosshart</a> from the Kills. Today Chloe has put her look look together with a hat and bag from <a href="http://www.accessorize.com/">Accessorize</a>, scarf from <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/">River Island</a>, charity shop jumper,  <a href="http://www.primark.co.uk/">Primark</a> jacket, <a href="http://www.hm.com/gb/#/start/">H&M</a> jeans and boots borrowed from her housemate. When I asked Chloe for something surprising about herself she told me 'I am not as old as I look.' I didn't think she looked old at all but then she told me she was 19 and I could see what she meant. She also has a wise head on those young shoulders which also gives you a different perspective on her age.

Work wise she is an Art Director. Style wise she told me she is not a shopper. When she see's what she wants in her minds eye she will then take herself out to find it. At the beginning of the summer it was a particular dress that she could see with birds on - which she did eventually find. She also loves bows and wears them in some form all the time. Today you can see one on her fingers which is from <a href="http://www.monsoon.co.uk/Accessorize/icat/accessorize">Accessorize</a> and one you cant see just under her hair as part of the earrings which she made herself. I love the way she has put her colours together.
