It was a complete and total stroke of luck that when we stopped Doria to ask about her outfit and film her for this section she happened to end up in front of the perfect accessory to her outfit - a motorbike. Whether is actually the owner of it or not, she looks the part. Her leather vest dark eyebrows and leather trousers make her the perfect biker babe.

One glance at Maria's outfit has us yearning to emulate her super laidback vibes and perfect take on dressing down.

Sticking pointedly to a palette of black and white makes certain that the statement colour of her red blazer gets the full attention it deserves. Its formal nature is made casual by pairing it with a diverse mix of shapes and accessories. By teaming her Vans trainers with little white ankle socks, Maria ensures that the shoes retain a sweetly feminine edge. Keeping the rest of her look simple, she belts a pleated black midi skirt at the waist and finishes the look with the black straw hat. This coupled with her bleach blonde tips and plaited friendship bracelet make for a little touch of California cool on the grey streets of London.

The cold weather is still bitterly refusing to give up the chase and the temptation to pile on every item of clothing we own is growing stronger by the day. At London Fashion week, we spotted Naomi Lewis layering with effortless panache, transcending the bag-lady vibe and instead projecting a look that is classically British meets street style cool.

Keeping to a neutral palette of earthy colours allows Naomi, a student of Creative Direction for Fashion at London College of Fashion, to go to town on an eclectic clash of textures and lengths. We love how she peeps a delicately sheer shirt collar over the top of a chunky knit jumper, pairing the look with a relentlessly preppy classic: the tweed blazer. She isn't afraid to mix up the colour rules with a vintage navy wool coat against simple black skinny jeans that prevent her silhouette from becoming too bulky. Naomi adds the finishing touches with a quintessentially British bowler hat and rose brooch, her camera casually slung around her neck.

Because: What are your plans for 2012?

Naomi: I'd just like to do well at university this year!
