Rosie is a Creative Director and has been with the agency since its start up 26 years ago. She was amazed when she thought about it, she has grown up with them. Rosie has been in London since she was 18 when she went to St Martins. When she at art school she said she used to dress in 50's vintage with a touch of New Romantic as it suited her shape. It also allowed her to be creative with what she wore and allowed her individuality. Rosie still has a strong sense of what she likes and what she knows suits her. For example she knows wide leg trousers and loose waistlines are out as she says they make her look fat. Her style choices are not faddy but are fashion conscious. Rosie has a few surprising things. To start with she has 2 teenage sons. To keep fit she likes to fence (I would love to learn to do this too). She is gregarious and fun loving but hates being the center of attention and is genuinely happy walking the dog on the beach. <br />Here she is wearing a jacket from <a href="http://www.chloe.com/#/en">Chloe</a>, shirt from <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/home/uk/en/zara-sales">Zara</a>, trousers from <a href="http://www.hm.com/entrance.ahtml?orguri=/">Hennes</a> and very cool boots from <a href="http://www.gucci.com/uk/home">Gucci</a>. This is my last post until after the festive period. I wish you all a great time and wonderful 2011. Lots to love to you all an a big thank you for following me in 2010. Xxxxx

Now I can share with you some of what I have been up to. I was asked by the Ad agency <a href="http://www.bartleboglehegarty.com/">BBH</a> to photograph some of their best dressed ladies for their company meeting. It was brilliant to put this together for them and in my own style too. It has been very exciting for me. This the 1st of 2 Rosie's I photographed. This Rosie is originally from Texas, but started her career in LA and then NYC. She works as a Creative Director and has been in London with BBH for a year and a half, but is off soon to work in Amsterdam. She spends her week in London but for now lives in Paris at the weekend. She told me her style is influenced by her French boyfriend. Surprisingly she also plays the cello.<br />Here she is wearing a coat by <a href="http://www.moncler.com/">Moncler</a>, leggings from <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/current-elliot/the-legging-538107">Elliot</a> which she bought in NYC.

It is so cold my camera keeps stopping and I have to take the battery out and warm it up under my arm before even <i>it</i> wants to play again. This has never happened before. It makes me respect my fellow photographers who work in even colder climes. My hat is well and truly off to you. Respect. Mind you it is all worth while as the people I meet are just so brilliant and giving. It is always so good to hear peoples stories. I never know just who I have stopped. Today it turned out that Cleo is the editor of <a href="http://www.recognisemagazine.co.uk/home.html">Recognise magazine.</a> Take a look, looks pretty cool to me. However it is not the only string to her bow as she also works for the boxer <a href="http://www.hayemaker.com/">David Haye.</a> When I asked her what her style influence was she told me Morticia from the Adams Family - she loves to wear black. Here she is wearing a scarf from Portobello Market. The leather jacket belongs to a friend.

Paris is black, Milan is colour and London is a combination of both and is also funky. His own style is either casual or extreme depending on his mood. It was a cold day, so casual was obviously winning. His surprise and I guess phobia too is rabbits - no rabbit fur for him then. His hat he bought in Paris but can't remember where from.

Arlinda from <a href="http://www.mandpmodels.com/html/portfolio.php?key=1036">M&P</a><br />was in great form. She had just arrived back from Paris and was in a very good mood. The casting was close by so we walked there together and chatted as we went. I shot these just outside. I noticed while we were walking that she had a black cross on the back of her jacket, which looked quite cool, even though it was only done with duck tape. She said she had been bored one day and had started to do it on the back of the other models jackets too. She then said she met <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_Deacon">Giles Deacon</a> who like them as well. Wonder if he will use the inspiration? Arlinda is not just a pretty face though, she told me she has just graduated from doing an interior architecture course. Her scarf is from <a href="http://www.thegap.co.uk/?tid=gups000196&kwid=1&ap=7&sem=true&mkwid=DEKyTJf5&adid=tnc&creative=7923023026">Gap</a>. The shirt is from a charity shop.
