Tamu McPherson for Net-A-Porter Magazine

While checking out the latest styles on Net-A-Porter.com I came across one of the best dressed women in the world, blogger extraordinaire Tamu McPherson of All the Pretty Birds and Grazia.it. Tamu's style is impeccable with just a touch of whimsy thrown in for good measure and I always love to see what she's wearing next. There's nothing more beautiful than seeing a woman living well.

A Fashionable Life: Tamu McPherson

"Standing Tall"

Tamu McPherson is one of fashions favorite street blogger's and she's also a favorite of mine who proves that fashion isn't just for the birds. As the writer and photographer of her blog, "All the Pretty Birds," Tamu is a stylish inspiration herself and personally, I find her just as stylish as many of the subjects she's known to photograph.

"Chic Enough to Beat the Cold"

I love her style because she has that air of sophistication and elegance about her that shows a simple yet elegant style without a logo intact unless it's an easily recognizable designer handbag or back pack.

Tamu not only catches the styles and trends of Europe before they hit the states, she is a subject all by herself often introducing a modern woman's view of fashion from ladylike luxury, to glamorous masculine tailoring. As a trendsetter she's known to inject pops of color into neutral palettes here and there with fabulous finishes. Tamu never disappoints.

Jamaica born, and New York bred, Tamu now lives in Milan with her husband and son.

Super Chic Tamu McPherson of All the Pretty Birds

Shoes from Miu Miu's Spring Summer 2011 Ready-To-Wear 

I'm crushing hard on Tamu's 'ferocious' shoe game and style, especially these photos featuring these fab pumps that only Miuccia Prada could dream up. The shoes are steep in price and some of the shoe collection is available at: Barney's, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, SAKS
and other high-end stores and boutiques.

Spotted: My Favorite Afrolista "It Girl" Shala Monroque

Shala Monroque leaving Bryant Park

I love how one of favorite "Afrolistas" changes up her look and never repeats the same look twice. Tamu McPherson of All the Pretty Birds chronicled the sharp-dressed ladies of Fashion Week and snapped this photo of Shala Monroque which appeared on Harper's Bazaar's website.


Here's Shala below as she appeared again as one of Vogues Ten Best Dressed for the week.

Here is Shala in a beautiful ensemble at the opening for German artist Andreas Gursky which has held by her better half, Larry Gagosian. Andreas Gursky is a German visual artist best known for his large scale landscape and industrial photographs - showcased his new work Ocean. For this new work Gursky has turned to a new media of using the photos themselves as a raw material to create a sculptural mappe del mondo.  Now that's what I call a true "Style Chameleon."
