I love Wayne Tippetts’ photography blog. As far as street style blogs go, I shan’t be bothered with ones that feature only middle aged men in bespoke Italian suits with pocket squares. Pssh. Wayne’s on the other hand is full of lovely, light, creative styling and good looking guys and girls. And he’s a very talented photographer.

At first, I was pretty apprehensive asking people if I could take their photograph in Tokyo so mostly I didn’t and didn’t get to. Frustrated, I finally asked this sexy hairdresser if I could take his photo and he obliged. Thus, I began to ask more. Japanese guys cuff their trousers like nobody else. I photographed way more men than women. These weren’t all on Takeshita St, but I was. My favourite store in the area was Comme Des Garçons (Pretty sure I saw Rei Kawakubo!!!!!!), followed by the cute Mercibeaucoup, the architectural genius that is Prada Aoyama, the colourful Takashi Murakami designed Louis Vuitton in Omotesando. In Ginza, my favourite hands down was Lanvin.

If I could dress like Paul Bui or Hanneli Mustaparta sometime soon, that would be nice. I don’t even care that Paul is a man. They exemplify sexy cold weather style. Maybe I can rock some black this winter, instead of [direct quote] ‘that absolute shit you wear’, ’quirkiness way of mismatching outfits’, ’cool weird nonsense’, and my favourite, ‘I hope you get married to a rich man so you can finally co-ordinate your clothes’. People are hilarious. I would probably just buy heaps of expensive ugly stuff. Oh and what I’m missing out on winter? So sad. Oh well.

Little People, is a tiny street art project where artist Slinkachu leaves little handpainted people all over London to fend for themselves, and photographs them as he last sees them. This pint sized project made me gasp in delight. Why is anything miniature always so much better than anything lifesized? Slinkachu creates installations of his little people doing wonderful things, ordinary, illegal, even violent things. The project has been going on since August 2006, has received much press, there’s even a book now and you should go through the archives. Enjoy.
Slinkachu also has a project called Inner city snail and the last image is a beauty from there.

I’m no stranger to complimenting unique, stylish strangers on their outfits but I’ve generally only photographed people I’ve built a rapport with. Yesterday I had my first true street fashion blog photographer moment when Cc walked past us on Swanston St. We literally dropped our jaws and ran after her so I could take her picture.
Cc’s mum made this jacket and the finish was immaculate. The arm and leg accessories were handcrafted by Cc herself and she owned that look.
Look at the little details. I have to admit I was a little awestruck.
