Those of you who read my blog regularly probably noticed my affection for Wayne Tippetts' photography on his blog Streetstyle Aesthetic. I drew several of his photographs already, and no doubt will draw more in the future. I am not exactly sure what it is, but something really touches me about certain people and how they are captured in Wayne's photography.

Wayne was busy in the past weeks covering the London Fashion Week, and this is where he run into the model Parnille Moeller. I love this photograph - the eccentric hat, the relaxed hair, the oversized scarf. It looks very British, and for some reason reminded me of Alice in Wonderland (which btw I am going to see this Saturday with @nellleo! yay!). Parnille has a bit of a Mad Hatter look going on - No?

Dark Star - Streetstyle from Wayne Tippetts

Wayne Tippetts, my favorite London street style photographer, found himself a dark muse. This is Malikah. She has an iconic style that is confident, mysterious and alluring. I love her hair and makeup, it looks like she just stepped out of a silent-movie set. Her luxurious look has an equally luxurious inspiration - the legendary Marchesa Luisa Casati, patron of the arts and fashion.

Yet again I get inspired by the vivid photography of Wayne Tippetts, whose London streetstyle blog is my regular read. This is the lovely Daisy, who showed great personal style by keeping it gray and emphasizing texture and layers. The oversized faux fur looks both cozy and high-fashion. Lovely!

Exquisite Bloom from Wayne Tippetts Photography

I was stopped in my tracks when I first saw this photo of Anna from Sweden, captured in London by Wayne Tippets. She has a sweet angelic beauty, and looks romantic and mysterious in this photograph. I love the light and shadow in the photo, which emphasize the vivid colours of the floral shirt. Anna's divine and slightly dark look reminded me of a J.W. Waterhouse painting, transposed to our time.

Stylish Goose's Choise for London's Most Stylish Woman

Hello My Dears! I missed you all! This poor illustration was sitting around, two thirds finished, for 4 days... But more on that later.

Let me introduce my choice for London in the Grazia Style Hunter Awards. This is the adorable Neha. I love her take on the tuxedo dressing so much. It is dark, quirky, sweet and nerdy all at the same time. The well fitted jacket and cropped pants are great versatile items, and Neha personalizes them with cute prep-school booties and over-sized geek glasses. Neha is wearing her look with so much ease, comfort and confidence, that there is no hint of "playing dress-up" involved. For that, Neha got my vote!

Stylish Goose had its vote, and I hope you did too. Had such a great time illustrating the lovely UK and Ireland ladies. Now looking forward to the official results on November 17th.

Now begin the excuses ;)... So I was bedridden for the past 3 days with very high fever and the worst case of sore throat I've had yet. No, not the swine flu! But for a while I almost believed that I had it. When I went to the doctor's I overheard the nurse saying: "A serious flu case, possibly h1n1". But all is well, and it was cleverly diagnosed by my doctor as strep throat (with his convenient little strep diagnosis kit)! Yay for doctors. Getting better now.

Vintage Style captured by Wayne Tippetts

I discovered Wayne's blog Streetstyle Aesthetic this summer and became a regular reader since then. Oddly enough, his blog was the first street style photography blog I've ever read (and now I read a whole bunch of them!). I really admire his relevant portrayal of fashionable London individuals and enjoy reading his little insights into their lives and their closets. I like that many of those people are just regular guys and girls - students, young professionals, travelers... And the occasional models or actresses also appear on Wayne's blog to satisfy my curiosity.

Last week Wayne posted a set of photographs of a really pretty and unusual looking girl called Hannah, who was wearing an entirely vintage ensemble and looked so dreamy and relaxed. My illustration was inspired by Hannah's style, as captured by Wayne Tippetts.

A black, oversized, velvety T-shirt accessorized with bulky gold bling and paired with simple hair and clean make-up create this carefree, standout look.
