images sourced from pinterest While we’re on the topic of pink, why stop at clothing when there are walls to splash the perfect shade of powder pink, and blush-toned pillows to add a bit of softness to a monochromatic living room. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this wouldn’t normally be my first choice, as my Pinterest and the overflowing inspiration folders on my Mac would suggest a growing (or staunch) fondness for the Scandinavian style of minimalism – everything in shades of ivory, grey and black. I may still be slightly on the sartorial fence, but I’m warming up…
Stella McCartney lips sweatshirt (on sale!! also available here), Zara skirt (similar), Opening Ceremony sandals (similar), Karen Walker x Benah sloane satchel, MBMJ katie chain bracelet I’m still having a bit of a moment with pink; a continuing love affair if you will, which is apt, all things considered. Pink shoes, pink bags, pink skirts, pink lip embroidered sweatshirts.

Oh, and the chance to actually reply to my emails and text messages which have been sitting in my inbox for far too long. On tonight’s agenda? slipping into my cosiest sweater (yes that one) and winding down with a large glass of wine, crusty bread, and a generous helping of the creamiest of cheeses. Can’t…
Camilla & Marc sequential roll neck sweater, Everlane silk tank, J Brand leather skinny pants, Zimmermann chelsea boots, Cuyana leather tote (similar) With most of the day spent curled up on the couch with a textbook in hand, and tomorrow looking much the same, I’ve been all about comfort. Studying for me has usually involved copious amounts of tea, a bar of chocolate for ‘sustenance’, and an internal struggle to stay in my pyjamas as long as I can possibly manage that day.
