Sophie. Austin, Texas. June 2013.

Fashion Notes: Marc Jacobs Handbag, Steve Madden Shoes, Gucci Sunglasses and H&M  Dress.

Sophie is an Australian mamma, former model who is living in the states.  She lived in Los Angeles for years before moving to Austin, Texas… I love love her sneakers, they look like high top keds (does such a shoe exist? or did I make that up?)

Sophie and her family will be moving to Miami, where she will feel very comfortable expressing her fashion creativity.

Theresa Turchin. Mom. Jewelry Designer. Miami Design District. June 2013.

Fashion Notes: Calypso Dress, Balenciaga Handbag, Prius Wagon, Turchin Necklace

How can a mom look this glamourous at school drop-off (especially with a Toys-r-Us plastic bag and beach bucket in hand)?  Well, Theresa does EVERYDAY. Theresa owns a jewelry store with her husband,http://turchinjewelry.com/ across from Miami’s most famous eating establishment, Michael’s Genuine, http://michaelsgenuine.com/.  Theresa meets all sorts of people and attends so many events in Miami, she has to be ready to go anywhere at any moment.. so she dresses the part.  It also doesn’t hurt that she used to model..

My mother is a big fan of Turchin Jewelry, the inventory is unique, using precious stones from all over the world.  They have a loyal following and are willing to create couture pieces for their clients.  Theresa is not only a designer, but a business woman bringing her jewelry to loyal customers globally.  Theresa is one glamourous mom!

 

Chic Parisian Grandmother. Haute Drop-Off Paris.

Parisian Grandma

What amazes me about Paris children is how put together they look..they ooze sophistication.  Parisians care about the way clothing fits.  This ultra chic woman’s trench coach fits perfectly and flatters her narrow figure.  You understand now why Parisian tailors are so popular..most know how to fit clothing on any figure.

This outfit is very simple and yet her Louis Vuitton Luggage and handbag somehow look lovely and not overdone.. it all just fits.  The Chic Parisian…

 

London Drop Off. Seattle Grunge meets Irish School Boy.

London Jean Fam

London. May 2013.

Streets of London and this is certainly great urban style.  So cool, so practical for an urban life.  The dad is a little school boy and the Mum has a bohemian/punk circa 90′s look.. I am channeling Seattle in the 1990′s. Love this!

Haute Drop-Off London Town

Art Gallery Dad

London. May 2013.

This was taken at Hauser and Wirth Gallery in London, http://www.hauserwirth.com/.  Many kids are out of school in London for break, and the education continues as this  father exposes his daughter to such visual works.

The International prestigious gallery has locations in New York, London, Zurich and one will be opening in Los Angeles in 2015.

I really appreciate this dad’s style, from the well done scarf placement to his hip haircut and all around sophisticated, but not stuffy look.  Additionally, his daughters bright colors next to his grey/black ensemble is quite a joyful contrast.
