LuvLi Fashion Voyage 2010

By Lisa Sterling

Reporting from London, England

The second leg of my three-part vacation to England and France takes place in London. This city is royalty at it’s best –and it’s one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world (after Toronto, of course.)

From Buckingham Palace to the Ritz Hotel; from chicas to rocker divas, London has understated yet cutting edge fashion to shape the attire globe (I must say, it is quite the impressive extension of styles in Yorkshire (London’s suburban neighbour to the north where I spent the first 4 days of my trip.)

London is a perfect city, except unlike Toronto summers, August in London is unbelievably chilly. Resultantly, the Brits are bundling up, just in time to give Canadians a few pointers on 2010 fall fashion. Here’s some sterling fashion from the streets of one of the world’s leading fashion capitals to get your wardrobe ready for the season.

Name: Michelle
Age: 26
Occupation: Researcher at BBC
Jewlery: Charity Shop
Purse: Brics (30 pounds)
Sweater and dress: Top Shop (35 pounds all together)
Hair: Free. She does it herself by braiding the top and letting the rest go wild. She loves that her hair feels like dreads!
What she’d do if given 200 pounds: “I’d buy myself high black shoes and tan boots… and wear them with old jeans.”
