Karen Walker jerkin dress, Helmut Lang blazer, Schutz sandals I’m pretty certain that every girl needs a pair of fun, fancy-free, embellished heels in her wardrobe. Erring on the side of quirky as opposed to classic; a route I don’t often choose to take. I’m all for wearing a little bit of colour, my newfound love for fairy floss pink is evidence of that, but on those sleepy mornings (which are more often than not) my preference will always be something in a classic black – mostly because it’s ‘easy’.
