T by Alexander Wang breton stripe top You only have to look back as far as my first outfit of 2016, to see how smitten I am with the classic breton stripe. This has been one of those quintessential pieces of my wardrobe for years now, and one that I reach for when I am at a complete loss over what to wear. My favourite is generally a white base with a navy blue stripe – this seems to be the least harsh (and most flattering) for me – paired with a simple a-line skirt and some low heeled pumps.…
Everlane ryan muscle tank, Topshop tie waist trousers (also in khaki!), Charlotte Olympia panda flats, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel By now, I think you all know how much I love my neutrals.

There are several different rules you can use for building a colour palette, however the simplest, and easiest to navigate, is to select 3-4 main or neutral colours, and 2-5…
ASOS lace striped dress, Opening Ceremony heels (similar), Teddy Blake ‘carla’ nano Over the last couple of years, I’ve made the odd mention about my intentions to shop less, following the principle of quality over quantity. While I’m more than a little embarrassed at how much I actually shopped in 2013 and 2014, last year’s total was a little more manageable, and a big step in finally attaining that goal. For those even a little bit curious, I ended up with a total of 56 new items in my wardrobe last year – clothing, shoes, bags and accessories – with…
