By Sophie Harris-Greenslade Harpers Bazaar China Shoot

For the Harpers Bazaar shoot I woke up super early to catch the bus to Dover for the day. We all headed off about 6am to the beautiful St Margaret's Bay in Kent. 

I used Orly dazzle, a really beautiful silver foil effect colour and also an icy blue, Coat Azure by Essie to work with the "Cool Metal" story. I changed the blue however in the afternoon to a natural cream (Nigella by AFNB) as we thought it would work better in shot.

It was a freezing cold day and the sea winds on the beach really cut through you. I don't know how the models got through it! Unfortunately the weather turned from bad to worse and poured down in the afternoon but the pictures are so beautiful it was well worth braving the cold for.

Sarah Clark's Little Spree

Sarah Clark has created Little Spree, a blog for children's clothes featuring cool, stylish bargains for little ones (from newborn upwards...) trawling online and the high street so you don't have to.

As a Fashion Editor for over 10 years, Sarah knows something stylish when she sees it, and she also has a keen eye for a bargain. She said, "When I had twins in January 2010, I found it harder than I thought to dress them well, without having to max out my credit card. There are great things out there that don't cost the earth, you just have to know where to look for them (and be prepared to hunt!). But that's my job. I score the high street for the best things out there (and trust me, if it's out there, I will find it!), so you don't have to. All you need to do is log on. Easy. Oh, and there are also loads of great gift ideas (so that's all your friends' kids/nieces/nephews/godchildren sorted too)."
