She told me that there are a lot of things going on in her head. That London inspires her a lot and said you can be whatever character you want to be on what ever day you choose. When I asked her what character she is today she said "today I am a liquorice allsort. The coconut one with the black bit in the middle". Her favourite place in London is crossing Waterloo bridge on a Sunday. I so understand this, it is an amazing place to be at the best of times as you can see a lot of the big London landmarks from here. Her surprise for us is that she says, she is not cool really as she is really into musicals. The favourites at the moment being Westside story and Oliver.

Or keeping one and offering the rest to you to all my wonderful readers in a giveaway. You will all be pleased to know I have chosen the latter so you all now have a chance to win one of 4 of <a href="http://www.filofax.co.uk/store/organiserdetails.asp?sizeId=3&rangeId=148&dsizeId=3">The Chameleon</a> Filofax's featured in my challenge shots. I didn't know which colour to keep for myself so put all the names in a hat and drew out Aqua so that is the one I will keep. I then did the same with the other colours so I would have an order in which they will be on offer. The 1st colour up will be Red. These Filofax's are leather and retail in the UK for £65 so this is a generous prize from the <a href="http://www.filofax.co.uk/">Filofax </a>guys. <br />To be in with a chance of winning you must follow me here on Blogger and on Bloglovin, letting me know when you have done both. I will be picking 1 winner per week. The Competition will run this week, next week and then again for 2 weeks after all the Fashion Weeks are over, so in October. This competition is open internationally. The 1st winner will be announced  on Monday the 5th of September. Good luck.

I am amazed the time has passed so quickly. It was very difficult to select images for this post. The 1st 4 have had the most page views. Alexa and Olivia to represent the well known people I met from the world of fashion weeks. My final red select, Kathryn is the 1st person I met who recognised the blog name. And my only guy because a friend mentions this shot a lot.<br />This 2nd year brought a few achievements starting a few days in by being shortlisted for the <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/nextgenphotoblog?photographer=Dvora&imageNumber=2">Vogue blogger competition</a>, making the <a href="http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/most-wanted/fashion">Most Wanted</a> and <a href="http://say100.saymedia.com/style">Say 100</a> lists and being featured in 2 editorials.<br />Going to London and Paris fashion weeks were a visual treat. Cumulating with bumping into Emmanuelle Alt on my last day in Paris with no-one else around. Looking forward to September as I will be covering London, Milan and Paris this time. <br />And last but most importantly A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all my wonderful followers (and those of you who just pop by) for supporting me. I really love and appreciate the encouragement you give me by being around and commenting. I feel really excited and happiness for the year ahead.<br />Love Dvora Xxxx<br /><br />P.S. We have a long weekend here in the UK now so see you all on Tuesday. Have a great weekend.  Xxxx

When I asked her to tell me something surprising about herself her friend said "she doesnt eat any vegetables." Gemma confirmed this saying that she does not eat any fruit, veg or salad. Gemma is originally from Glasgow so when I said "so deep fried pizza for you then?" She said "oh yes." She also told me she subscribes to National Geographic and that when she tells other people in the fashion world they usually find this surprising. I find that surprising as I subscribe to it too. Gemma's favourite place in London is the Secret Garden in Regents Park. Her style influence is her Grandma she said "I wear a lot of her stuff". She much have a pretty stylish Grandma then. Gemma is wearing a top and jeans from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=33057">Topshop</a>, shoes from <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/Online/">River Island</a> and her necklace says Taken and was a gift from her husband on their wedding day.<br />Couldn't resist showing you a close up of Gemma's shoes and toes.

The challenge was to photograph one range from a choice of 4. My choice is called <a href="http://www.filofax.co.uk/store/organiserdetails.asp?sizeId=2&rangeId=148&dsizeId=2">The Cameleon</a>. I have to say I hummed and hahhed for a while weather to do it or not. My main reason being that in this age of technology were they really relevant today. I thought I didn't know anyone who used them but was surprised when I asked about that I actually did. Looking at the <a href="http://www.filofax.co.uk/">Filofax</a> site I really feel they are missing an important market with their products though. I personally would like to see them doing nice electronic tablet and reader covers. Electronic gadget one side note pad the other. Anyone else think this would be a neat idea? Anyway, aside from my misgivings <a href="http://www.filofax.co.uk/store/organiserdetails.asp?sizeId=2&rangeId=148&dsizeId=2">The Cameleon</a> range is really very nice. Good leather and has a great texture. So how was I going to approach this? As most of my photography these days is street style it seemed the obvious way forward. To start things off I asked the lovely <a href="http://www.nyanzi.com/">David</a> from <a href="http://www.nyanzi.com/">The Nyanzi Report</a> if he would get dressed up and help me out. I have always wanted to shoot in the middle of Oxford Circus crossing. When pedestrians have right of way they are allowed to cross diagonally now as well as across the 4 corners which is wonderful to watch and be allowed to do. There is a sense of freedom as well feeling a bit naughty crossing the road this way. So I set us both a further challenge of shooting in the middle of Oxford Circus on a red light. We shot from when everyone started crossing and stayed on there until the traffic was almost about to move. Bravery won out and I was so happy with the shots I have shot the whole series here. I have been friends with <a href="http://www.nyanzi.com/">David</a> for a few years now but still interviewed him for you all. <a href="http://www.nyanzi.com/">David's</a> favourite place in London is Covent Garden. His style influence is himself "it depends on the mood I wake up in". Surprisingly he says "the man behind the mask you thought was Batman - is me". Well that certainly surprised me, I never knew my friend was a super hero. Or maybe I did. Here David is wearing a jacket from Stateless London, waistcoat from Kilgour of Saville Row, a Thomas Pink shirt, Dunhill jeans. His bowtie and pocket handkerchief (which is a cleverly folded scarf) are both from charity shops and his shoes are from Portobello Market.

However an Irish Wolf Hound did spring to mind. Her favourite place in London is Liberties.

I met some wonderful people over the weekend and will spend this week bring you my shots from around the festival. Kicking of the week are Anne and Nick Robinson. They are from Ormskirk and the 1940's is their favourite era. Their love of vintage dressing grew from Anne's initial love of corsetry. Their beautiful suits were bought from a lady called Betty who runs The 1940's Room in Stafford, whom they had met at another vintage event. Nicks suit is an original 40's demob suit. The sole of his shoes still bore the original demob stamp. In their daily lives Anne is a Civil Servant and Nick works as a Military Consultant. Their surprises for me were that Anne keeps            <style></style>tarantulas’ and Nick has lived in the Arctic for a total of<br />9 months. This was spread over 3 years, first a 4 month and then a 5 month stint. The coldest temperature he has ever experienced was minus 73.
