Out and about....a woman of substance

Luckily for a change I was in flats so could move quickly. It was her wonderful coat the the flash of red sole that caught my eyes and pulled me after her. Ana is originally from Brazil and is the Executive Director of her own company <a href="http://www.showroomonelondon.com/">Showroom One London</a> which represents accessory brands. For her own style she told me she lives in heels and usually dresses. When she wears trousers like today it is for comfort only. When I asked her to tell me something surprising she said 'I am 40, have been married 4 times, have 2 businesses and 2 grown up children in their 20's'. Yep that was quite a lot of surprises. Ana is wearing a coat from <a href="http://www.jaeger.co.uk/">Jaeger</a>, belted with a vintage belt she has had for 20years. Her shoes are of course <a href="http://www.christianlouboutin.com/#/intro">Louboutin</a> hence the red flash I spotted....her bag is <a href="http://www.chanel.com/">Chanel</a>, I forgot to ask about her trousers. She picked up her cool bangle from an accessory retailer in Poland St 2 weeks ago for a fiver.

I was walking along the Strand and was thinking I would love to photograph someone on the long island that runs down the middle of it and then I spotted Kerry. Her coat is brilliant. 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. The rest of her look is comprised of <a href="http://www.jaeger.co.uk/">Jaeger</a> top, I forgot to ask about her jeans. Brilliant bag from <a href="http://www.ferragamo.com/">Ferragamo</a> and <a href="http://www.russellandbromley.co.uk/">Russell and Bromley</a> boots.
