You know, moving from sunny Australia to foggy England is quite a feat. Exchanging the warm ocean breeze for the eternal dampness of London streets. Sophie Perry did just that. And, judging by all appearances, she didn't make a bad choice at all.
She's not just another glossy model from your endless feed. There's life in her. Real, not retouched to a state of cold plastic. Sophie looks equally organic both in cozy sweaters somewhere on the rocky coast of Cornwall, and in luxurious dresses at private evening receptions.
Her personal blog is more like a diary of a good friend than a showcase of unattainable success. Today she enthusiastically talks about the crazy trends from Fashion Week. And tomorrow — openly laughs at her own ridiculous mistake on another trip.
Sincerity. That's what really grabs you. That's why major brands are lining up for contracts with her. You'll agree, who needs a perfect picture if there's not a drop of soul and warmth behind it?
You scroll through her page over morning coffee and realize: charisma is key. Sophie communicates with her subscribers not from the icy heights of the world's catwalk. She's somewhere nearby. Laughing, choosing an outfit for the evening, sincerely complaining about the treacherous English weather.
She surprisingly combines Australian lightness and British style. Let's just look at her best shots. They have a lot of that soft light that we all so often lack. Perhaps, this is the best way to warm up a little and exhale.
