Love this look, especially the head wrap. Have you left London already? Oh no, I was rather hoping to get snapped by you in my new back to uni clothes, complete with a brand new, red leather satchel. Proper British!
Little dab of lip gloss and she's good to go…You always choose people with really nice slim figures :) Which makes their clothing choices look good I think.
I 've been to Atlanta a couple of times. As a European I was very pleasantly surprised by the good mood and the kindness of people there. The smile and the ready- to help-a foreiner attitude make me not notice their clothes very much. Their good will is the most 'chic' behaviour one can find!
thats my home! im not there now in atlanta, but just knowing that 'the scott schuman' was these in little five points warms my heart . beautiful photo!
Loving this so much!!!!!! The only thing I'm not mad about is the necklace. But overlall a great great great combination!!! Such an elegant posture, beautiful shoulders and those colours are amazing!!!
LP5, such a scene for the unique! Atlanta really is a special and underrated city! I love how she looks very cultural with the turban and African patterned dress, yet she is holding a credit card!
Pride, posture, grace and integrity. The beauty is just because. Length, gentle attitude, presence and command. I would take all of that but only if wrapped up in love.
The soft subtly lit yellow of the cardigan and the accompanying golds and the contrasting complimenting color splash in her wrap are as much about the Ankh as she will always be.
Oh! those shoulders! and her posture! I finally understand how my own wide wide shoulders could be beautiful. She's stunning and so much of it is in the way she carries herself.
Oh wow! Ethnic, elegant, and look at her posture, perfect! Beautiful colour combo too. Looks like she doesn't have a scrap of make-up on, nor does she need any.
I sooooooooooo love that you've been feauturing a lot more black women on the site. She is beautiful. Not loving the outfit, but the headwrap rocks and her skin is beautiful.
I have seen this woman in Little Five Points before. I think she works there. She is quite beautiful.

Actually, that is my one big complaint about the blog. Not everyone's body type conforms to the slender paradigm that is so wrongly coveted in our society, and indeed, I find it bigotted that the blog only features slender people. Beautiful people come in all shapes and sizes.
And please keep in mind, when Scott visited Atlanta it was in the mid 90s, which translates to "hot as hell"!! So Atlantans make the best of it as demonstrated by this beautiful woman. Which is one of many I may add :)
BAH! She works at my favorite store! God I'm so happy you went to Atlanta. She really does look beautiful though; I love that something that entirely covers her hair is as lovely and ornate as the complex hairstyles a lot of black women wear. Easy breezy beautiful.
It’s not just what she is wearing or how she put it together, it is her cool serene beauty and regal elegance that make this picture so stunning.
