She is also learning to knit. She would like to knit little leg warmer type things for Leon so that when she is carrying him in his sling they close the gap that happens between his trousers and socks to keep him warm and toasty. To keep herself toasty today she is wearing a coat by <a href="http://www.nicolefarhi.com/">Nicole Farhi</a> she bought in a charity shop.

Her look today is mostly vintage as her bag, coat and jumper are all from vintage stores. Isn't her bag amazing.

Marian has an amazing look not a bit of wonder it pulled me across the street. She is originally from Estonia but has been living in the UK for a year and a half now. She says her style is casual and that she doesn't really buy things, they just come to her. Her make-up influence is colour which she loves, along with the ethnic look, which is right on trend right now. All the magazines this month seem to be showing us the nomad look. Her hat is vintage from Pakistan, early 60's. Her sweater and bird ring were presents and her leggings and boots are from charity shops. When I asked her to tell me something surprising about herself she said she is just one big surprise all over.

Firstly her hair isn't it amazing. When we spoke about it she said 'it is my gift. I love it'. She is a character in so many ways. I met her when I went to have a haircut. She was working her inner Alice (in Wonderland) on the day. Amazingly I didn't have my camera with me at the time so I arranged to meet up with her again to shoot. Abigail is still at school and doing her GCSE's. Next stop performing arts college, she is going to be an actress. She certainly has the imagination and flair for it. Her favourite director is Tim Burton and her dream for now is to work with him. She would also love to do musicals as she sings as well. Judy Garland being another hero. Her style for each day varies on how she feels when she wakes up. Today we have 50's glam as she woke feeling classic and elegant. Her look is made up of vintage hat, gloves and bag. The dress is from a charity shop. Shoes are Primark and socks Topshop. As I said earlier when I met her she was Alice but she also likes to be the Mad Hatter too. She says it is all just a different part of her and that 'I have multiple personality disorder in my wardrobe.' For Halloween she went to a party with her boyfriend as Sweeny Todd and Mrs Lovitt. For her work experience she worked for the Kings Head theater in Islington and they gave her the costume as a present. She told me it was really heavy and had a tight corset but hey in the name of fashion she love's to wear it. In June/July time she went with her Mum and a friend to see the musical Hair. She said it changed her life and really hope's one day to help with the movement for peace, 'I really, really believe in peace'.

From FashionistableRavi is an Art Director and a very sharp dresser. He was wearing an Aquascutum mac when we started the shoot, but the salmon cardy was too good miss out on so he kindly braved the cool day and the shoot without it. Ravi is 2nd generation Mauritian and of course he still has family…

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.
