Paris vs UK
One thing I love exploring is how fashion and beauty differs between different countries.
The August issues of Vogue Paris and Vogue UK proves the typical, and somewhat stereotypical, differences between the two country's styles.
At first glance, the two covers appear to be not just of different countries but even different decades.
The top cover is clearly UK Vogue showing the typical edginess of British style. Bold and bright fonts teamed with an abundance of headings almost smack you in the face with pure British intensity.
Sasha Pivovarova stands proud and powerful in an almost feminist
stance. Wearing only a blazer and a pout, seduction and supremacy are commanded.
The second cover is almost a complete 180. This cover is romantic and feminine, with a vintage-esque feel - all that is expected from the capital city of love.
The cover is solely focused on the model with only one heading. The Parisian elegance is further promoted by the delicate use of cream coloured font.
Could us wild Brits ever pull off such a cover? I think not.
- In all honesty, I will forever admire the quirkiness and overall guts of British style.

Ankle Boot Madness!
As winter approaches, my obsession with ankle boots has returned. This time round with a more rocker feel - studs, chains, buckles etc (this obviously excludes the Louboutins but I love them too much not to include them).

I Like Your Style
Erin Wasson -> an American model, occasional designer (designed a collection for RVCA) and occasional stylist (Previously for Alexander Wang).
Having graced the pages and covers of numerous magazines such as French, German, Spanish and Australian Vogue, Allure, Esquire, Elle etc and walking the runway for Armani, Balenciaga, Karl Lagerfeld etc, a certain degree of FASHION ICON labeling seems only natural... Slight girl crush maybe? mmm could just be envy, haven't quite made up my mind yet.
Either way, I like her style - especially her array of headpieces!
Designer to watch
With an recent MA distinction from Central Saint Martins, a Harrods design award and a merit award from Vauxhall Fashion Scout (Last year's winner was William Tempest) under his belt, David Koma is certainly the graduate designer to follow. - Note Christopher Kane received a Harrods design award in 2006 - could Koma follow in his footsteps?
His A/W collection shows a magnitude of talent.
Koma combines the general aspects we've seen on the catwalk such as tulip- dresses, structure and tassels with his own innovative and edgy flair.
My favourite aspect of this collection is the detailing Koma has added onto otherwise plain outfits. For example, Koma details a low-cut black tank and body-con leather skirt with an incredible knotted silver piece immediately adding edge and modernism.
**Brilliance!**
