Incognito

What belongs to every woman’s life is shopping but what to wear on a summers day when you in the city and you want your privacy? Our next featured model was trying to go about her own business, but we spotted her and found her look simple, elegant and very boho.  With a nod towards Sienna Miller and a bit of island fever with the simple sandals, it is a look that can carry you through almost any boutique and gather enough compliments as well.

Why not try a strapless dress like the one pictured below from Mango, currently on sale online at around 20 euros! Try the Alyson Fox clutch from & Other Stories retailing online at 45 euros and finish off your look with a Sensi Studio Hat from net-a-porter.com (around 90 euros).

Outfit details (worn by model): Cardigan from Zara, Dress from Urban Outfitters, Sandals by Sam, Hat by H&M, Necklace by Make a Wish

The following mini caused quite a stir in a shopping mall in San Francisco. For us, it was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Our next model was speed walking to work and we had to run to catch up with her, but it was worth the chaos…the clever use of monochrome stripes with a bold colour is close to hearts here at Dashing George HQ…and the heavy soled platforms take the girly aspect out of the picture and gives the outfit a tougher edge…we love collar necklaces and with a winning smile, we were smitten!

Our fashion scavenge turned up the following outfit ideas for you: why not try a striped overall by Sonia Rykiel (jersey and silk) on sale at ASOS at around 204 euros and team it up with a statement necklace from H&M for around 35 euros. London mega brand Kurt Geiger has the perfect Gabrielle platforms to complete your look, retailing online at 220 pounds.

Army Rules

There are few basics that stand the test of time. A pair of good jeans, being one and perhaps your LBD…but one item that every woman needs is a good quality olive army shirt…and this will take you from morning to evening…all you need to do is change your shoes! Our next feature model, appeard on the streets of San Francisco, rocking a pair of eye-catching Nikes and wonderful braids…with a million dollar smile, we were hooked!

Want a street-credible look like this? Try an olive army shirt from Zara, new online and retailing at around 70 euros. Take the Nike look to another level with a pair of Sequin Red Skinny Dunks Women Sneakers, selling at 75 dollars through rainbow-dunks.com. Keep the cognac colour going, but with an edgier finish with this MCM medium Stark Rucksack, for 580 euros…the choice is yours!

We adore monochrome. Nothing says effortless chic like a casual look where the basics are super functional yet well thought out. This next San Francisco look is awe-inspiring. From the two tone blazer to the playful skirt and cheeky open-toe booties, we are loving our model’s American take on Parisian elegance!

If you want a similar look, why not try the blazer pictured below, found at zara.com for around 70 euros, and pair it with a Bailey skirt from whistles.co.uk (80 euros)? To finish off the look, step into a pair of open-toe shoes from Aquazzura (494 euros) found at brownsfashion.com

Outfit details (worn by model):
Jacket: Pencey Standard, Top: Zara, Skirt: H&M, Chain: Georjiana, Rings: Vintage, Shoes: Zara

What Thom Browne did for Black Fleece (part of the Brookes Brothers empire) was almost revolutionary. He took their classic look and injected American attitude into the brand and Black Fleece now has a collection (male and female) that makes us here at Dashing George HQ sit up and take notice!

Our next San Francisco model was decked out in a blazer from the summer collection and he cleverly teams it up with statement eyewear and traffic-stopping brogues. For a similar pair, try on the Yellow Wing Tip Leather Brogues by Kenzo…and for statement glasses, try something new from  Woodzee…wood is the next hot thing, so keep your eyes open for interesting styles…as they say in fashion circles, wood is the new black! And being the fashion hungry people we are, we could not ignore the sale at Black Fleece and included are two of our favourites! The blazer pictured below is on sale at under 440 dollars and the espadrilles are 90 dollars. Both you can find online at the Black Fleece sale.

Madras Jacket: Black Fleece, Shoes: Ducky Brown For Florsheim, Belt: Gucci, Polo Shirt: Black Fleece, Glasses: Rosenthal

Heading Down the Highway...

With a little bit of street savvy, a look can go a long way and we loved this next combi on the streets of San Francisco. Who said the pedal pusher was passé? It is totally modern when combined with wedges, a denim vest and a hot ostrich leather bag…and just to be sure, finish it off with a pair of aviators.

For a similar look, why not try a denim vest from age-old trusted Levis (on sale at levi.com for under 56 euros), a faux ostrich leather double handle oversize tote from amiclubwear.com (approx. 57 dollars), hip wedges from woman of the moment Charlotte Olympia (595 pounds) and finish it off with classic aviators from Rayban (we love model RB 3044/L0207, pictured below, found online at Rayban.com).

Outfit details (worn by model):
Waistcoat: Xanaka Vintage, Top: Vintage Buffalo Exchange, Jeans: Ross, Shoes: Forever 21, Watch: Publishers Clearance House, Bag: Ross (Imoshion)

When in a rush, be sure to look like this next model. With a large to-go coffee, a huge shopper from Michael Kors and Chanel glasses, this look means serious business. Just to keep it ‘street’ enough he pairs it with a pair of tie-dyed jeans and cool sneakers. The look says ‘I am incredibly put together, but still edgy and urban!’ We found this wonderful baseball sweater from Givenchy (550 euros) at go-to website for men, mrporter.com and the Chanel glasses we sourced at joethill.com (on sale at 139 dollars!) …should you wish to do a similar look. Feel like spoiling a special lady, then get her the new 2013 winter shopper from Michael Kors (photo courtesy of blog, josieloves.de).

What a feast of colour for the eyes! This next outfit is totally bang on trend with the mix of cat’s eye sunglasses, stripes and contrast pants. This is a look that will carry from day to evening and the fake fur vest will appeal to all animal lovers out there! For a similar look, why not try our luxe striped sweater from Peter Pilotto (688 euros at mytheresa.com), teamed up with hot and new sunglasses from the king of luxury, Tom Ford (retailing at around 285 euros) and mix this all up with a great steal from the online Mango sale (these pants are a bargain at under 20 euros!).

Outfit details (worn by model): 
Vest : Target, Jersey: Urban Outfitters, Bracelet: LF Stores, Pants: BCBG, Ballerinas: H&M, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sunglasses : Super.

Vintage Angel

When you are in San Francisco, there are many sights to take in. Some are made up of buildings and some are just amazing people. We came across the following boho model and found her 70’s mix of clogs, maxi skirt and felt hat, very modern. We need only look at the current Saint Laurent collection to see the hat has stood the test of time. Her tube top is from H&M, so that is a super basic. For a great maxi skirt, go to Asos where we found one from Vero Moda for around 20 euros! Feel like splurging on a luxury version of the felt hat, then visit net-a-porter where we found this gorgeous one from Gucci, retailing at 365 euros. For the long hair, get out your ghd and work it! This look will carry you through autumn and winter…just take a peek at the current runway looks from Gucci and Saint Laurent for inspiration. (Skirt and hat photos appear courtesy of Asos.com and net-a-porter.com, respectively)
