After it appeared on Alexander Wang’s catwalk, the long side braid was a style the fashion gods were bound to smile upon. True to our prediction we’re seeing quite a bit of this style and its fair-princess-meets-tomboy connotations. Elle Canada played it just right with the braid, alongside some top knots, in this shoot for their March 2010 issue.

We might also add that hot pants and the braid go very well together.

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.
