Comments on "On the Street......Spring Knocking, Paris"
gorgeous combinations of colour... the first girl is so so chic, and the second works all that colour with such aplomb! adore the 1st skirt and the 2nd's shoes! anyone know where they're from?

wow - i love the first girl's shrunken trench. i love the whimsical colors in the second girl's ensemble. so inspiring!
ah spring is here...
omg. the second one is amazing.
absolutely IN LOVE with everything hwew
love peachy pink. i love how this shows any colour can be worn pretty and feminine or grungy with the right personal flair and attitude!!
love the first outfit!
Beautiful colours..
Lola.

what a shot!
the shoes, the skirt, the chairs, the clouds!
love it.
Like flowers peeking through..wonderful!
the first picture. smashing-such a fantastic skirt and an great outfit
FANTASTIC. Too much to say, the picture speaks for itself. A treat for the eyes.
hi im iranian. your blog is very good.ilove hear.tanks a lot
these heart shape shoes are so cute! Lovely outfits for both girls :D
so beautiful
OMG! This is so cute!
love it.
Yeah for spring! I LOVE her glasses in the second shot. Please help me if you know where I can find anything similar! Thanks so much. MK
love the top pic...a fab splash of colour in a very chic look!

First one...wooowwww....
second one- Interesting look, pairing the blazer with this "babydoll" everything else. Very different and I like it.
Im in love with the second outfit, but the shoes ruin it.
I just love the girl in the second photo. That mannish jacket over those pink ruffles! Like you say, Spring is peaking through!
ah! thankfully, spring is here; and it's about time.
these two are perfect sartorial examples of why this is my favorite season.
Love the second one. The masculine jacket and big, heavy bag save the outfit from being too cutesy. Not sure about the shoes though; I'd have gone for a brogue.
I love the 2nd one, amazing!! and the shot is wonderful
I think the second girl is wearing full on Luella, including the shoes.
I guess Easter is upon us. The last outfit is cute.. reminds me of an Easter egg!
Interesting to see the two, inverted approaches to early spring--bare legs with heavy black shoes, or opaque black legs with girly pink shoes. Of the two I prefer the former look, and will try it tomorrow in NYC!
jane looks amazing as always...but i am completely smitten by girl #2. I want that skirt! She looks awesome.
i love the volume in these skirts, it looks fantastic!
The girl in the lower picture looks fabulous! it looks like she woke up on a beautiful sunny day and grabbed her favourite things and put them on. For me her outfit has a very spontaneous, carefree feel and looks so pretty and joyful - what spring should be all about and those have to be the best spring shoes ever!
Love the chic style in the first photo. And who said fashion couldn't be fun, love the second photo, those shoes are so cute. Finally spring is here:)
I'm finally warming up to salmon. She carries it off phenomenally, and just exudes confidence and cool. A true example of someone who wears her clothes and not vice versa.
i love the first it!
amaizing combination
un beso
wow. the second one is sooo cute !
i super like it
The first girl achieves a nicely fashionable level of chic. The second brings to mind an elaborate--and very festive--birthday cake.
Two very different expressions of personal style, but I'd put my money on the second as having a richer life of the imagination.
I love the trench on the girl in the first picture. And those shoes with bare legs looks fabulous!!
The second picture is just adorable. Love it! Wish I could see more of her bag.
hooray for spring!
Puts me in mind of the story (Cheever? Updike?) The Girls in their Summer Dresses--nice. I find the glasses in the 2nd photo unflattering to her face despite their modishness.
love the first one... and the flower skirt!! so femenine.
I'm glad that you put these two together; I think they say so much more together than apart.
The first one is such an inspiration to me in terms of fit of the jacket; various neutrals plus a bright color located in a beautiful skirt; and the idea that I might try bare legs with my black booties as a transitional look (something I had been intimidated to try, but I have a frame like hers so I should at least give it a go.)
The second one reminds me to be more daring, to take more risks, and to care less what others might think.
I disagree with the poster who said that the 2nd person would have a richer imagination. I wouldn't be able to wear that outfit in my daily life even if I wanted to, but I could wear the first one to work. People that work in environments where they are expected to be conservative have, in my opinion, a much more difficult job being creative and imaginative and still towing the line.
The first girl has my dream style but the second is wearing too many ruffles- I am a big fan of ruffles as an accent, but not all over, she looks like a cupcake!
love the second girl's skirt
i lovelovelove the second outfit!!!! she is style personified.
I love these two very very much.
The second girl, I'm smitten with, the first I solely admire.
Anyone know who makes the trench?
Or any of it for that matter?
Finally... some color!
the first photo is so fabulous, love the glasses in the second photo!
Both pics have an element of sweet and tough that I like. I especially like the stripe skirt in the top pic, just sweet enough to add some spring magic.
The girl in the bottom pic is so adorable in her transition from geeky duckling to swan. She's combined that sweet/tough element expertly here. I'd like to see her grow. Hope you cross paths with her again in the future.
I also wanted to add: that your blog has helped me overhaul my wardrobe and has changed my attitude to many items of clothing and various combinations. So when I look at the fit of the trench in the first photo, I think to myself that I want a similar cut and double breasted buttons; and I won't buy until that comes along.
I was browsing through your archives, remembering very well the first time I had seen the older images and where I was when I did, and was amazed to realize that I have acquired so many of the looks/items that I first discovered on here. This is likely why I am so happy with my wardrobe at the moment! Thank you for that.
Both outfits are cute and interesting, each of them in its own special way. I just don’t like the black accessories. This colour disturbs the spring softness and harmony that both outfits are supposed to express. If you are going to play the sugar candy look, there’s not much place for black, and you need to go all the way, perhap light grey, beige or blue accessories would help?
I love both of these! spring is def. in the air!
http://www.styleanthem.blogspot.com
Much more inspired by the first look. Very sophisticated!
The second look walked off Luella's runway and threw on some tights and a jacket.
The second photo is incredible - almost like two different girls photoshopped together! The calm and cool glasses, black tights, jacket and bag break free into some crazy spring flower of pink and purple ruffled flowery love - spring emerging from winter. The lime green and brown chairs add to the garden-y feel of it all. Grand, Sart!
Both ladies are really special. But the first one....is the most charming lady to be captured in a long time.
Please tell me these were just girls on the street and not a fashion shoot -- I'd love to think people actually wear such fun outfits as the second picture!! I often see things like this in magazines, but would love if this were acceptable to wear in "the real world." Maybe I've just been in DC too long -- too much gray, navy, and black!
Oh my goodness, what lovely outfits!
I'm enjoying comparing these two and asking myself why I think the first photo is so chic and the second is not. It's mostly about streamlining: the trench fits her perfectly, the skirt is flared but not poufy, and the boots are sleek. The second photo is just one hot mess. Ruffles upon ruffles, and the shoes are too childish (they must be Marc Jacobs?). The bag is utilitarian doesn't complement the outfit.
The second one is in all Luella.
love love love both skirts :) The second photo makes me wish I was by the Tuileries Gardens!
#2 is wearing the first outfit that comes up on the Luella website— in most cases I would be opposed to stealing off the mannequin, but she really makes it her own.
Also, in the first photo, note the angles, of her bangs,of the unbuttoned trench-jacket, of her skirt, and her right arm/hand. Very artistic. Still can't warm up to the barelegged look with short boots.
Spring is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first outfit is so chic!

I love the first girl, she looks so chic :)
such fresh looks...
These looks are working for me with the exception of the tights on the second woman. I wish she had chosen a tonal color which matched the colors in her skirt and shoes. Still, I like the idea of her look, right up to the 'nerdy glasses.
lovely photos. really like the first girl , love her outfit , sp simple and elegant ! love her shades and skirt x
I love the photos, aw and the outfits are so cute ^^
love the skirt in that second photo :D
wow i love both of these outfits! is the second wearing luella? i recognise that skirt from somewhere...
Top photo, so cool!
Kisses from Paris!

oh my god, the second one is too much. and by too much, I mean FANTASTIC!
Great pictures. Visually quite stunning.
If my four-year-old daughter were a fashion designer, these are the kinds of looks she would create. Especially the second one, with its flounces and those shoes that look like big pink lips on her toes.
I totally approve. We would all smile much more if pink were the dominant color, rather than black.
off-topic question to who might know: is every photo shoot (or gathering of fashion people?) done in Paris in the gardens of Tuileries?
on-topic: I love spring, it makes people smile and wear brighter colours.
It looks on the up-side here in Northern Europe already, too.
Hail to pinks and purples.
Who cares if it's Luella? I'd be way more impressed if she had thrifted the outfit together.
I think it's a bit over the top, as if she wanted someone to take her photo. Well she suceeded.
Also not a fan of bare legs and short dark boots.
WOW! the girl in the second photo has the LUELLA shoes i have been DYING TO have! :(
The second girls outfit has SO MUCH personality! I really love it. In fact, it made my day. FASHION.
fantastic shoes! love the color.
I bought the same coat today:)
The high buttons on the first coat add some character to the outfit, but there is a little something missing. Perhaps a necklace?
The colors and the patterns of the second picture are splendid and yet almost juvenile. She needs a lollipop !
i love the first outfit. it's perfect from head to toe. gorgeous.
love the second one.

Can someone PLEASE tell me where that shrunken trench is from in the first photo? I have a fantastic green dress that is just begging to be worn with something like that for spring.
1st pic: absolutely beautiful. as for the black accessories (that someone disliked), i don't mind them. spring doesn't have to be colourful head-to-toe. in some places it's just not that warm yet.
2nd pic: this isn't "spring" and "colourful" to me. i find it more childish and costume-like. the blazer, brown bag and black tights would have worked better with a different outfit altogether.
The top photo!!
It's so rare you see a sophisticated skirt that doesn't shirk on the sexy or the swoosh!
2nd outfit looks like it's straight out of Luella! *drool*
The second one is absolutely GORGEOUS. wish I could pull that off!
the green chairs and the blue sky are the perfect backdrop accessories
I love the skirt in the second photo, red and pink stripe? Nice flare.
i want to put on my chicest outfit and prance around the tuileries and see if i get my picture taken.
love love the jacket... it just goes to show that fit and proportion make a trench something magical and not just an old navy breakfast at tiffany's knockoff.
but please, the girl on the bottom should SMILE! she looks so unhappy, which is so odd, considering her outfit. it sounds corny, but when the contributors here smile it makes their outfits 100 times better.
I like to imagine that the top picture is of the little girl in "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" - all grown up (or, more likely, HER daughter).
Beautiful.

The first outfit is so chic. The beige trench coat looks sumptous with the striped skirt.
I love everything about the first picture. She just looks so chic and not over the top. Every piece compliments the next.
LOVE the Luella in the second pic. But don't like the whole look for some reason.
Outrageously refreshing! Such a lovely color scheme and the shoes are terribly fantastic. Almost costume-like, the touch of the blazer and accessories translate sophistication and genuine style. So wonderful to see such a bright and bold look.
Wow, love both! Good finds.
yay!!
spring!! i love the second photo alot her shoes are so kawaii!!!!
I absolutely love the color in this outfit! I completely agree with most of the comments--the outfit is so fun, colorful, and whimsical. I used to not like mixing "weird" colors, but it definitely works for her! I like blogging about fashion shows, and this is Ungaro Fall 2009 inspired. I can completely imagine this girl wearing this outfit (http://content.coutorture.com/2900973?page=0,0,10) come fall!
I love that first one! So chic x Sushi
This is adorable!Love the nerd sufragette look she pulled off and the brave mix of colors. I don't know how it works but it does!My idea of the key to personal style!

Lavender Frosting.
Strawberry Cream.
Deliciously Yummy.

Each element is OK but the all outfit just doesn't work... Nice try ! (Looove the shoes <3)
if only in oz ... love the free style in eu.
Great skirt in first picture and fantastic heels in the second.

Wow, I really love the first outfit!
oh wow, i loove the first one so much... feeling so inspired now!
the second annoys me. anyone who has the money can buy almost a whole look off the runway. however not anyone could manage to make such a fantastic Luella outfit NOT work. i am very disappointed; i absolutely adore the collection it is from.
FIRST OUTFIT IS COOL!
The first one is a cool fashionable shot that I've come to expect from the sartorialist, but second picture is so unexpected and intriguing that I'm completely discombobulated by it.
Its pictures like these that makes you rethink fashion and personal style. Bravo!
I would have loved this outfit when I was about 8 years old.
When did women stop wanting to look grown-up, elegant, and start wanting to look like little girls from Disneyland.
Sart, please post the odd shot of models from the late '50s, early '60s next to one like this. It would be instructive, if not amazing (still seeing that word, ad nauseum).
I love love love the colors in the third photo. Wonderfully observed.
I love the first spring look
Love the way she used her black boots in her spring wardrobe. she's got great legs to pull that skirt off as well.
whoaa happy easter! "thats all"
Help! Who makes a great pair of "nerdy" glasses? LOVE them!
Fucking Brilliant! I love the specs. Great style.
I absolutely love the girl with the striped skirt! She looks amazing. Love her outfit...

:O real life luella. <3
Oh girlfriend is workin' it!
Twirl baby girl, for spring has arrived!
OMG! She looks like a giant lollipop! Please twist it up!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS OUTFIT! Especially the contrast with the frills and her hair pulled back with the black frames.
The first girl is simple and effortless elegance. The bottom one is almost wonderful. I hate that skirt. It looks like something a blind grandma made from her old aprons. I do love the colors though and her shoes are lovely.
The first girl looks like Jane Keltner, fashion news director
from Teen Vogue. The uncanny resemblance!

love love looove the colors...especially the skirt in the first picture...And those boots!i heart the 2nd look too but not everyone can carry it off...
Nice outfit, stripes and trench

I love the first....so classy and gorgeous! And the second is just cute!
A children's book character brought to life, once again.
There are two other guys, both in Le Marais, that would match her as a photo collection.
Funny and daring.
I'm in love love love with the second look.. the skirt.. I need it..
so cute! and i love the skirt on the second picture!
Luella? <33
Yes, most definitely Luella-- the print is the same.
First picture lovely- so chic!
second: I love this Luella collection is extremely beautiful! but I don't think the girl rock the clothes at all..
It's amazing how you can be not only one of the most talented photographers in the fashion industry with an indestructible way with creativity but also be ridiculously in tune with fashion. Your blog fascinates me, I know I have bothered you in the past with my humble 14 year old musings but as always, Bravo!
-Sydney
"so Luella' is very apt

Thank you))
great shoes on the last one!
what are little girls made of? sugar and spice and all things nice!
Greetings,
Makes me want to say: "hi de ho"
Best regards
The outfit worn by the second girl is nice but not her creation! The outfit was seen on Luella's catwalk...
a Luella girl at heart.
not melissa's, everything is from luella spring 09, except bag, jacket & thights. ugh
love the both pics .
the manteau with the stripped skirt are perfect together , and the combination of colors in the second outfit just rocks !
it's like rihanna, but lovely
totally Luella Style
Did she fall off the Circus truck??
inspiring!
Too forced. She doesn't look comfortable.
