Street Style

Over the last week I have been doing work experience for media wales in Cardiff, and was sent out onto the streets to snap up the best dressed people. Here's what I found :)

 Connie Song, 23, IPR Student at Cardiff, from China.
Connie caught my eye with her smart and tailored look in complimentary colours, managing to put an individual stamp on her preppy outfit helping her stand out from the crowd.
A clear mix of high-street clothing which has been styled-up with designer accessories, I love how a classic look has been updated with her quirky Vivienne Westwood shoes.
Connie says: “A lot of what I own is from China, but I do love Topshop.” she goes on to say, “I enjoy mixing my style up with high-street and designer pieces.”
STEAL CONNIE’S STYLE: Vivienne Westwood shoes, Topshop trousers, top and blazer, belt from China, Mulberry bag and Tiffany necklace.

 Mia Wu, 23, Cardiff IPR graduate, from China.Mia’s classic and elegant look caught my eye for its simplicity and style.
She says: “I’ve just graduated so am looking quite smart today, but I didn’t want to go for a dress, I preferred the trouser suit.”
Her eye-catching Chanel bag sets off the outfit, with her shoes adding and element of quirkiness to what would normally be a more reserved look, which Mia has managed to steer clear from.
“I really like these shoes, they’re a bit different and they’re plastic.”
STEAL MIA’S STYLE: Vivienne Westwood shoes, Zara trousers and jacket, Mango shirt and Chanel bag.

Mana Tsumuki, 24, Fine Art UWIC graduate, from Japan. 
I loved the eclectic mix of patterns and colours that went into Mana’s outfit.
She says: “I like patterns and bright colours, especially blue and red.”
Her kooky style is certainly a bit different but works extremely well, evidently reflecting her passion in art.
“I would describe my style as quite individual and just wear what I like.”
STEAL MANA’S STYLE: Office shoes, Skirt from Japan, Topshop top, Mango cardigan and Laura Ashley bag.

 Alan Vanstone, 22, Creative Technology Glamorgan student from Southampton.Alan’s laid back and casual look in muted tones seems effortlessly cool and it turns out that it is.
He says: “I don’t really think about what I wear, I just dress however I can be bothered to in the morning.”
I like how he has thrown his sleeveless hoodie over his t-shirt for an outcome that is still stylish but doesn’t look too ‘try-hard’.
STEAL ALAN’S STYLE: Topman t-shirt and shoes, River Island sleeveless hoodie, Urban Outfitters trousers, necklace and watch from Sydney.

Marjorie Ferrier, late 60s.Marjorie most definitely has style and is well-known around Cardiff for her amazing outfits.
Showing us that style clearly has no limits in terms of age, Marjorie loves her vintage as well as new designer pieces. She says: “I must confess I’m really designer. I’ve always bought designer clothes as they are classic and last forever - they invest in a good fabric and design.”
And this lady know really knows how to accessorise, brightening up her taste in paler colours with fabulous jewellery.
“At the moment my favourite shop in Cardiff is Howells, House of Fraser,” she goes on to say, “I used to have my own shop called ‘crackers’ which sold lots of designer labels like Armani. My headband is from the Claire Collection from my shop, and I loved it because it was knitted. I always wear a headband.”
STEAL MARJORIE’S STYLE: Austin Reed Jacket, Sonia Morhan dress, Louis Vuitton bag, Office shoes. Necklaces from Jaeger and Vivienne Westwood, Swarovski bracelets, earings from San Francisco and sunglasses from America.

 Sarah-Greys Morris, 19, Journalism student at UWIC, from Blackwood.Sarah-Greys’ ‘pretty’ look immediately caught my attention as she emerged from the crowd.
Her smart yet stylish outfit highlighted her personality, with bursts of understated colour, her favourite being “corals and beige”. She says: “I’ve just come from an interview so don’t usually dress this smart.”
Simple and not too fussy, Sarah-Greys outfit is complimented with her matching statement bag and shoes.
She goes on to say: “I love high street clothes, and would say that Sienna Miller is probably my biggest style icon.”
STEAL SARAH-GREYS’ STYLE: Miss Selfridge trousers and blouse, Topshop top, Urban Outfitters bag and shoes and Thomas Sabo charm bracelet.
