Bassike heritage stripe t-shirt, Frame Denim jeans (also available here), Helmut Lang blazer (also available here), Zimmermann chelsea boots, Proenza Schouler PS11 There are the kinds of outfits that are just easy.

For me, it’s always dark denim with heeled boots and an oversized jumper of partially tucked in t-shirt, with a blazer if I’m planning on looking ‘smart’. Denim was among the many things that…

Leroy Nguyen ‘Blue Rose’ Spring/Summer 2014/15 Sports luxe undertones accompanied vivid floral prints, directional inserts, and uneven hemlines at the runway show of Leroy Nguyen’s ‘Blue Rose’ S/S 14 collection.
