Street style: Rachel on Bishopsgate

Can you believe this is my first street style post for 2008? Not for lack of trying, mind you, but London's bleak January and miniscule hours of daylight have been working against me. That's why The Sartorialist is the absolute genius that he is - his most recent photos at New York Fashion Week were taken with snow swirling around in the foreground!

Anyway, the sun finally shone on London town this weekend, and after living here for a year I finally understand why Londoners automatically migrate to the nearest park at the first sign of light.

That's where I was heading when I spied Rachel, 20, on Bishopsgate today. A wee birdy told me that she's wearing a clever mix of market and vintage finds. For a similar red lipstick, try the ultra-luscious Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Passion.
