Vacation
The British It Girls
Peaches & Pixie Geldof
Daughters of rocker Bob Geldof have become famous socialites in the London party scene. Their wardrobe essential are black nylon tights which they pair with mini dresses and high waisted shorts and skirts.
Alexa Chung
A television presenter, actress and former model. She has a bit quirky style, she’s always pretty casual. I would say it’s indie fashion in the style of Kirsten Dunst.
Daisy Lowe
She’s the daughter of fashion designer Pearl Lowe and singer Gavin Rossdale. At 18 she already has some modelling experience under her belt as the new face Agent Provocateur.
Alice Dellal
Her mother is Andrea Dellal, a former brazilian model, and her father is a British millionaire. She’s only 19, but has developed an incredible unique style, that many relate to grunge.
Agyness Deyn
The beautiful Agyness is one of the top british models at the moment. She has a fun style as she mixes high fashion with nu-rave and a bit of punk.
I think these London socialites are a good change from the Hollywood it girls like Lindsay and Mischa. I personally like these girls’ style way more - vintage mixed with desginer, it’s a bit casual but chic at the same time. I also love how they dress straight from their personality, not just wearing it because the designer gave them the clothes. Tell me what you think of their style, and if you know about some other stylish Brit girls!

Backstage at the SS08 Shows
Grey, grey, grey! Casual cardigans, sweaters and coats.
Bare legs aren't going anywhere, at least if you live somewhere warm (which is not the case for me). I love the sleeves on the white t-shirt Alison is wearing, very in the style of Ashley Olsen.
Casual white t-shirt, black blazer or a cardigan and a slouchy bag - so simple but a perfect combination.
It seems like black skinnies aren't going anywhere, for now at least. They're are a must in every closet, such a save choice and they match with almost everything.
A vest can make such a different to an outfit. I especially love Iekeliene's black vest with the cute pink dress. Magdalena's more casual in a beige one with denim shorts.
Oversized cardigan or a trench coat are a perfect coverage over a sleeveless minidress. Check out the boots Anja and Caroline are wearing, they make a cute dress more edgy.
I'm in love with slightly oversized t-shirts. Everything from eye popping print to a neutral one.
Agyness's outfits are always edgy and full of energy. She's such a cool person and it really shows through her clothes. She somehow get's it right, she never looks like she's trying too hard.
Jessica Stam's t-shirts say it all.
