T by Alexander Wang stripe top, girl. by Band of Outsiders skirt (similar style), Acne mape leather jacket (cheaper alternative), Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Charlotte Olympia ‘virgo’ flats (on sale!) Rather than a weekend filled with the usual suspects – ample walks along the coast, brunch at Lox Stock & Barrell, and more Gelato Messina than I can handle – it’s been fairly quiet, as I’ve kept myself locked indoors to cram in as much as possible before my final exam on Tuesday. With the prospect of having my evenings and weekends free once again (post-grad studies on top of…
It’s not every day that you stumble across a new designer whose outlook is so decidedly fresh, that you kind of want to own everything in the collection.

Equipment sleeveless blouse, Helmut Lang blazer, Ellery skirt (similar style), Celine cabas tote bag (cheaper alternative) This year truly has been the year of the wardrobe hero; the holy grail of bags, shoes and leather jackets. My focus has heavily been on building up the foundations of my wardrobe, which has generally meant quality over quantity. So why settle, right?
