Paris Fashion Week AW 2012...Peony

Peony Lim, before Issey Miyake, Paris, March 2012.

This is my favourite outfit that Peony wore during the fashion weeks.....chic, masculine, girl meets boy styling. My favourite part? Her hair. It reminds me of a photo I love from one of Mario Testino's books ( I think it might have been taken in Argentina or Spain).

Recreate Peony's look (kind of):

Suit up: Stella McCartney Iris tailored wool blazer + trousers, Maison Martin Margiela blazer + trousers, Thakoon suiting blazer + trousers

Theory Larissa shirt, Reiss Franny fitted white shirt, ASOS white shirt 

Leather neck tie from Peony Lim store (Peony has just added a load more products to her store....this leather neck tie being one of them. Head on over and check it out!)

Hare + Hart Selby Brief oversized clutch, Claire Vivier oversized clutch, 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Second tri-tone clutch, Valentino Rockstud oversized clutch

Gucci fedora, Helene Berman wool felt fedora or Steven Alan Janis wool felt fedora

London Fashion Week AW 2012...Peony

Peony Lim, Somerset House, London, February 2012.

The last post for a little while (well, except for the one below;) on the white suit and how to wear it as separates*. I love this simple, elegant look on Peony - a crisp white jacket, a beautiful blouse with lace detailing and a pair of gently flared jeans - it is difficult to go wrong. Adding a white fur (or fake fur) stole for Autumn/Winter makes it an outfit for all seasons.

Recreate Peony's Look (kind of):

Joseph Sir blazer, Thakoon ivory suiting blazer, Calvin Klein Collection Kamau blazer or ASOS white blazer

Alice by Temperley Esmeralda embroidered blouse (in ivory) or blush/ivory

MiH Marrakesh kick flare jeans or J Brand Stella high rise pants or Mother The Mellow Drama high-rise flared jeans

*when you aren't, as @Wild Flower commented on Audrey's post below, having a Bianca Jagger moment :)

New York Fashion Week AW 2012...Peony

Peony Lim, after Tory Burch, NYC, February 2012.

I love that Peony wore those glasses on the same morning that Jenna Lyons sent out models wearing her signature glasses at the J.Crew presentation. So fun (even if you don't have to actually wear glasses to see!).

Peony's beautiful snake-print dress (you can just make out the head of the snake on her sleeve)? It is from London-based brand Isolda.
