Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.

Caroline Brasch Nielsen, off-duty in the afternoon sun

It’s not the first time we’ve featured a shot of Caroline Brasch Nielsen in this particular ensemble; a patterned billowy blouse tucked into a pair of nonchalant drawstring pants, and purple hued sunglasses and bag detail to match it all together. When I snapped this moment in Paris, however, she was just looking particularly gorgeous – mermaid waves lit up by the afternoon sun.

Girl-on-girl cliches, done right: weekend watch (NSFW)

Dry abounds with those obvious cliches of two hot girls having fun in any way that requires them to brush naked skin on naked skin in a sexy and suggestive way. I’m talking pillow fights and playful wrestling and late night topless dips at the beach. But as much as it might sound like a pure grab for attention, it’s much more filled with free-spirited…

Get Lana Del Rey’s makeup look: 5 video tutorials

Some singers are all about the voice and some are a complete package. Where would Lana Del Rey be without an exotic name change, a trademark look, and a sweet-girl-with-a-wild-side persona? Probably not in the place she is now – where she’s more an ideal than a person, adored by the youthful masses for speaking the language of a generation through a veil of wavy-haired…

Sophisticated tomboy: off duty in Paris

With one hand managing to carry a handbag, cigarette and baseball cap and the other stuffed nonchalantly in pocket, there’s a tomboyishness to this off-duty look that manages to go beyond the pairing of slightly slouchy boyfriend jeans and a tailored coat. The whole look is simple yet crisp: isn’t it a true adage that everyone needs a good quality plain white tee as a…

A portrait of French beauty, Dolores Doll

With a name like Dolores Doll, how could this French-born beauty be anything but that – a beauty? Sebastian Cviq‘s new shoot for REVS magazine is singular in its aim of making every shot all about the model; coming together to form a captivating portrait of Dolores Doll. Styling by Monika Kandefer is kept similarly minimal, limited to bronzed bare skin and gauzy white blouses,…

Pleats & socks in Paris

There’s a definite hint of school girl chic going on here, between the pleated skirt and the grey over-the-knee socks. But the length of the skirt and the addition of metal-capped pointed pumps keeps it on the side of sexy and away from looking too much like an actual uniform.

Off duty bohemian luxe: Aline Weber

Turning an all-black outfit into a hybrid of rock-chic and modern boho was Brazilian model Aline Weber spotted exiting a show in Paris. Aline paired a crochet skirt with ankle boots and a leather biker jacket, looking effortlessly tough with her blonde bob and grungy jewellery.

Luxury and lace: Olivia Palermo

Spanish jewellery house Carrera Y Carrera chose Olivia Palermo for their latest campaign – a not unfitting decision given her style aligns quite closely to the image of the brand. Styled with rich lace and sheer dresses, the “Treasures of the Empire” collection is all about classically luxurious fine jewels.

Emotion laid bare: Sara by Niklas Hoejund

She may be half-naked, true – but in this portrait series by Niklas Hoejund, model Sara Maria comes across as less erotic and more haphazard, like her mind is somewhere so distant she forgot to get properly dressed this morning. There’s something sensual in that, though, in the wayward nature of being a little vague and messy-haired; of being a bit out of focus to…

Life has no plot, why must films or fiction?

I’ve never watched a full Jim Jarmusch film, but then a lot of the time you don’t have to. I’ve seen segments of Coffee and Cigarettes – where Wutang Clan get served in a diner by Bill “Groundhog Day, Ghostbusting-ass” Murray, or where the unbearable, brilliant awkwardness of a conversation between Tom Waits and Iggy Pop is palpable – and the section of Nigh On…
