SPY IN STARBUCKS!

SPY IN: CHESHIRE

Chloe Millward Age 21

I had to take a double take at Chloe Millward who just looked soooo gorgeous whilst she nipped into the local supermarket on her lunch break!  No surprises that Chloe works in an exclusive ladies designer shop, as her look just screamed ‘fashionista’ yet at the same time remaining very cool and relaxed! Spy is a huge fan of Converse ( you can get a pair in the ispyboutique) and Chloe teamed the classic ankle style pumps with skinny legged black jeans and denim shirt from Zara’s teenage range with a versatile white T-shirt from Zoe karrson. Finishing off her great look was every girls must have bag- A Balenciaga! Oh and of course….The Michelle Korrs two toned large wrist watch! Bang Tidy Chloe!

SPY IN THE CITY: LONDON

HELENA SUTARA  looking quirky yet stylish her navy Hunters

Spy was in the city of London recently, just off Oxford Street to be precise! I bumped into these two beauties quietly enjoying their Lunch! I had to take a snap as my Street hottie rocked in her Hunter Boots teamed with Top Shop  high waisted olive suede shorts. The whole look was very outdoor girl yet with an edgy look! Full marks go to Helena for her clever co ordination of over the knee tan socks and satchel( From the Cambridge company). Jacket was vintage ( From Japan). The finishing touches to her look were the black Rayban aviator sunnies! The girl done good!-Looking like a fashion swat from the front row of the catwalk shows!

SPY IN THE CITY: MANCHESTER

This week Spy decided to set out on a mission to find some real hard core fashionistas and I hit sooo lucky when I bumped into these two beautiful starlets!

HEATHER 18 and AMBER 17

Heathers  look was a real mix of vintage and retro chic. Her garments looked like they could’ve come out of her Nan’s wardrobe-which is key to nailing trend! I loved her mix of Navy Cape-TopShop with denim shirt and black leggings -River Island and married it all together with her real vintage scarf! Liking the sophisticated Mulberry style tan handbag and brogues. Plus the head band is just adorable!  AMBER very cleverly mixed the outdoor girl look with a pretty little floral tea dress( TopShop) which gave her such an effortless attitude! I love that Barbour jacket(TopShop) and the black tights with Hunters (Jakes) look fantastic. Woooh spot on girlfriend!

SHONA 18

Shona’s quirky style suited her 1930/40′s look so perfectly! Sorry about my rushed camera work girls because you can’t see  the effort Shona put into her beautifully styled dark glamorous hair which she accessorized with a vintage black scarf. Her of the moment Khaki Parka (River Island) teamed with her trendy Northern Soul messenger bag and Spy’s all time favourite sneaker..The converse trainer! (Schuh). Loving the red lips…very Va Va Voom!

LUCY PLINSTON

Oh now Spy likes this look very much!  Not only does LUCY PLINSTON have the same super cool scarf  ( Bolongaro Trevor) as my good self, but she managed to look’ Hot’ when the British weather has turned soooo cold! I love the way Lucy  pulled together some items we might all own like her Topshop leggings and T-shirt.

Lucy was blessed with model looks and height so she carries  this Oasis Mongolian style coat off to perfection! The faux fur lace up boots from Topshop Unique add edginess and her Mulberry Alexa bag caused Bag envy in Wilmslows local Starbucks!

As the winter draws in on us Spy took to the streets of Manchester to find the best dressed fashionistas braving the start of the cold snap!

No boring winter knits or uncool winter warmers for these ladies! Here are StreetSpy’s  hottest favourites….

EMILY BUTLER 21 Student: Spy loved Emily’s style of effortless attitude. Her Khaki Parka  jacket was a 7 year old favourite from HM past seasons, which proves my saying ” Don’t bin it-spin it!”. Fashion always comes round again so be clever at what you trash girlfriends!

The electric blue shirt really played up Emily’s piercing Sapphire coloured eyes and really teamed  cleverly with the green in her coat and the grey in her scarf (Zara).

Emily’s look is soooo cool…so now! Her lace up corduroy boots (Topshop) were Spy’s favourite . The neutral colour and military feel worked perfectly with her skinny Zara Jeans. Emily shows you how to do the look  less “done” with a grungy edge.

GEORGIA LEWIS 22 Student, While most of us are still thinking about which cover up to choose from the ‘Season of the coat’- Georgia stormed into Autumn/Winter showing  us exactly how the Outdoor girl look translates from the Runway to the high streets!

The Aviator  jacket is probably the hottest coat trend this season thanks to Burberry. Georgia’s was from a market in Italy-Sienna to be exact darlings!!!!

Georgia played with textures by layering her soft peach T-shirt (ASOS) over a white vest , skinny black jeans(Topshop) and the AW statement coat. Spy’s top tip is to look out for an old aviator jacket on ebay as it will have a real vintage vibe about it.

This is a girl who knows her trends and finished off her head turning look with a wonderful pair of tan brogues(Topshop)that made her stand out in the crowd!!

ZOE CASHIN-24 ,makes a real statement in her leopard print cape (Urban Outfitters) skinny denim jeans, peep toe grey suede boots( both Topshop) and vintage style black scarf ( Kate Moss/ Topshop).

Zoe really does look bang on trend choosing this winter season’s style coat ’The cape’, cleverly teaming it with skinny jeans so not to drown her model type figure. The peep toe boots are again very now  in a perfect slate grey shade which compliments all the key colours for AW2010.

Zoe really looked the part! ’ A Model on a go-see’!

EMMA FIELDING- 23, kicks her khaki skinny Jeans(Next) into action with her black leather jacket (TXmax) and puts all the finishing touches to her look with this seasons print leopard scarf (Primark).  Emma co-ordinates her look  to perfection by marrying it altogether with  fringe bag and ‘All Saints’ style military lace up boots.  Spy is Loving the Vintage style Casio watch and friendship bracelets that add to Emmas personal touches!

Emma will get loads of mileage out of her black leather jacket as leather biker style jackets were big news on The Burberry Spring 2011 runways. Emma looked stylish and had clever colour combinations going on. Loved it!
