Fashion Inspiration: Fashion Week on the Streets of Paris

five days back in the country (and counting...) I've missed the international fashion collections just about in their entirety and I'm struggling right now to scrape together enough time to sleep in a vain attempt to cure this hellish jetlag, so please forgive me fashionistas for not yet being upto speed on the sandals at Isabel Marant in Paris, or the prints at Peter Pilotto, or which well-dressed canine worked the runway at Mulberry...

one thing I have managed, is to spend probably too much time pouring over new snaps from the streets of Paris. I get as excited about these images as I do from the runway shots, seeing how the worlds fashion elite pull together looks for this season. Please, let me get over the jet lag before thinking about next season!

from the ever-stunning Miss Olivia Palermo's Burberry jacket with that twisted belt, gold cuff and sleek ponytail/sunglasses combo, to the chunky cable-knit over a floaty chiffon skirt on fashionista number three, to  the fail-safe and always-chic black skinnies, ankle boots, simple top and amazing coat - this is what you should be wearing this autumn. rachelle xo
