Nice shoes, and Nice hair!

beautiful shoes!

Fetching!

fantastic. This goes to show that you can really wear basic, neutral clothes and make them one’s own with the right accessories. She has the knack. If the shoes had been red or blue….no. And her portfolio bag and turquoise watch are great counterpointsn to the shoes. Well, her great hair works as an accessory too. I find this inspiring because in the current economy it’s good to be reminded of the power of the accessory.

Ah, fab! That coat! That bag (Moroccan leather, seventies print)!
The HAIR! And then these pops of color, the turquoise and the purple. It makes me all sappy.

Wow nice purple shoes!! I love it!

great hair

the shoes make the outfit! love it!

It seems the key to looking good with any wild accessory is to keep everything very simple. I don’t think I could stay upright in those shoes for any length of time, but I think they look cool on her. Amazing!

Fierce… Someone give this woman a light, already! Bella…!

nice pop of color but somehow it doesn’t fit with the rest of the outfit and the season.

those shoes are awesome. perfect color flair. i want those shoes something fierce. although i’m not sure i could walk in them. but still.

Kudos! I looked at her outfit and thought “grey, grey black…” and bang! purple shoes! Great combo, I like this! Her bag is very pretty, too! (I noticed it a little later, after I stopped staring at her shoes)

I like alot!, tall, slender. the shoes makes the statement “look at me”…

LOVE it, top to toe! Her hair is fantastic.

The shoes, the coat, the hair. Grrreat.

It’s not just the shoes that are great…I love her hair! Very cool style!

the shocking purple shoes echo with her grey tweed jacket. I have to dig out my purple shoes now!

those are a great pair of shoes!

Those shoes are amazing! The ensemble looks neutral, appropriate for the foggy English winter, but at the same time, the watch and shoes add spots of color to signal that life is not all dead in the winter…

oh, I love her shoes…purple on grey…

Gorgeous bag…and I love her hair.

I have to comment those shoes! They are purple, PURPLE my friend! And they are not an ugly purple color but a fantastic gougers one, the shoes are also extremely preatty. I do believe they wold have looked just as goo in white, example.

The purse has a vintage look too it and I love vintage, + her hair, so cool!!

Loveeee….Interesting portfolio as well.

I love it. Just a splash of color with her shoes and her bag. And it helps that she’s gorgeous.

W-O-W!

holy mole! thank you!

She is marvelous! great shoes – black tights are the best background – fantastic air and gohead girl, cute legs too!
now i really miss having my hair like that. mmmmm

i would write a comment, but there is no point since you only publish praise. i guess the site is more interested in gathering sycophants than in dialog

hi.. maybe you could do a little description of your models, the items they’re wearing and where they got it from? just a suggestion :)

great job at photographing such beautiful and stylish passersby regardless. keep up the great photos :)

wow… all i can say so early in the morning…

somedays i just wanna hide myself, go grey…but i still wanna be “interesting”…so, the color shoe it’s a greaat option!

love the pop of color!

Lovely shoes! Lovely hair! Really just great all around

love the shoes..it’s a well put together outfit with a pop of color..

wow! love this :)

Amazing look!

The shock of purple & her turquoise watch make me feel happy looking at this photo. :)
Her hair is pure fun!

Love the shoes!! They makes the whole outfit work. Great style.

I suppose that people who like colours (and I’m definitely one of them) have a huge problem to reach this kind of look. Mixing colours is so common skill comparing to the ability of using one colour so properly.

AMAZING shoes. they add such a juicy pop to the outfit! also admiring that bag! xxxc

I love her.. this outfit makes me feel relieved–something about the tilt of her stance, the purple on black on grey, the fabulous hair, the cigarette, and that curious leather bag under her arm..

I tried clicking on the image to make it larger, but to no avail. My god, I love those purple shoes! And her “natural”, wonderful.

i´ve fallen in love..

this woman is seriously rad..

love the contrast of the shoes against the black tights and grey coat, personally not too keen on the ethnic print bag myself but like the contrasting watch too.
She’s good at accessorizing!!

wow! that hair and those shoes demand attention

Ooooh, I really really love this look! Love the way the coat is slouchy. I really want to see what she’s wearing underneath.

I might try to copy it but I don’t think I’m brave enough to wear such bright shoes!

I like the shoes, but I would prefer other colour.

She looks great! Love the purple shoes as much as the modern ‘fro. I like the doesn’t-go-with-anything-here bag. She honestly looks as if she just happpened to look great.

Her hair is her best accessory…LUV it!

I love everything about her. Scrolling down was a revealing treat. Love her hair the most.

i should get a pair of those asap :D …very nice picture. I like the urban-residential scenery in the background.

i love the contrast of the shoes to her watch.
and her hair adds coolness!

An ingenious ensemble!

What I particularly love is the way she uses non-descript clothing for the majority of her garments (e.g. black scarf, black tights) and then blinds you with those high-contrast shoes and funky folio.

I can imagine people meeting her for the first time in that outfit; she’d pretty much be guaranteed a “nice shoes” complement every time!

I’m not a big fan of the clutch (although I might be wrong since it’s only a picture and I can’t see it clearly) Love the turquoise bracelet though. fass

Her hair is her best accessory!

Yes, but can she run in those shoes? My five pounds says she can.

In assembling her somewhat drab outfit, I believe this one thought, “I’m still alive and I am going to attest to that fact.” I think we all need a flash of color even if we do not smile all of the time. She is smiling somewhere in her heart and she wants the world to know.

Salut,

absolutly fantastic. A great accent! A contrast to the rest of the outfit. I love it.
From where are these shoes?

Jérôme

Wow! Tights + open toe cage shoes? Hmmmm… That takes courage. I like the look though, minus the brown satchel.

PS: naturally curly (i.e. unprocessed) hair is NOT an accessory; it’s hair.

Her hair is stunning! If even just a fraction of the people blessed with thicker hair tossed their straighteners and dumped their salon appointments, the world would be a more interesting place…

Also! I demand to know what she was wearing under that coat! That particular purple is just too warm (or something) for that grey, but against all black, it could be good, and the nonstop black would tie the purples in the bag to the purple in the shoes, too.

Every once in a while, I start to feel redundant in my palette of black/grey/red/dark denim, but just thinking about some simple dress over those tights and with those shoes has me appreciating how slick primarily black outfits look. x)

I like the style of those shoes. Would look nice in black also.

Amo!!!!!

that’s cool

These are super cute! A nice touch of color for the winter blues.

Oh wow! I haven’t been wowed by a pic here in a while. But man oh man is she just superb. I love everything, everything.

Okay I wish I could just have those shoes!

This made me smile.
I love that it is purple. I don’t think any other colour would have attained the HI WORLD I’M HERE effect as stunningly.
The turquoise and the beautiful bag serve as smart counterbalancing choices.

she looks fab… shoes.. just SUBLLIME…but just to say, ugly turquoise bracelet? comes from the topshop unique show i think… had the same…

This girl looks absolutely fabulous. Her style is inspiring .. Great fashion sense!

Why not? They are so cute.

love everything but the bag. i feel like when you add such a bright color to an otherwise somber palette the one slice is enough. anything more than looks haphazard.

i have those shoes, they’re from topshop, mines are a light, dusky pink colour. i love them, they’re gorgeous and suprisingly they are not hard to walk in.
lovely x.

kick ass shoes! she looks very cool… i would be afraid to approach her.

She was photographed by The London Paper’s LFW coverage on that day too.

Stand out items: eye catching purple peep toes and probably her “I’m sort of something special” hair.

Nice outfit.!! Those shoes are fantastic.

those shoes brighten up the dreary day. that’s what i love about fashion.

……….speechless………….

wow

Love the shoes! It would have been a perfectly fine outfit with just black shoes, but that purple elevated the entire thing.

she is a friend from art school and i didnt know she was on this blog, but we saw her in the london paper. someone mentioned the globalisation of trends, finding it hard to define fashion to a city, atiena is from paris which probably gives her an advantage: she was brought up to glide in stilettos!

Oh, what AWESOME Shoes …. who makes them, i wonder?

The shoes, the shoes. the shoooeees.

fantastic. This goes to show that you can really wear basic, neutral clothes and make them one's own with the right accessories. She has the knack. If the shoes had been red or blue….no. And her portfolio bag and turquoise watch are great counterpointsn to the shoes.

On the Street the Purple Shoes, in London, is some thing good to watch, I think that different peoples has different style and it is really nice to have your own.

It's a way of celebrating the diversity and variety of the world in which we live. Fashion is about change which is necessary to keep life interesting.

Purple shoes goes perfect with the black tights. I wonder how it goes with several different colors. I guess you need to coordinate well.

Those stick out like crazy, but it's always good to do your own thing!

Excellent stuff, thank you.
