Karen Walker dress, Helmut Lang blazer, Charlotte Olympia shoes It occurred to me the other day, how seldom I wear dresses in comparison with a few short years ago, when I would sub-consciously reach for them each morning, throwing an oversized cardigan over the top and calling it a day. Now, I probably opt for separates about 90% of the time, and the dress section in my closet has diminished greatly from the extensive amount of closet space it once took up. Why it’s taken me almost two years to notice this, I couldn’t even begin to explain, although I…
Alexander Wang ’emile’ tote After hunting high and low for this bag in the black pebbled leather with rose gold hardware, I found I had luck on my side, as a special order came through for me on Net-a-Porter. Finally I’m able to retire my considerably worn yet much-loved MBMJ patent leather tote in favour of a bag that not only seems roomier, but also has a shoulder strap which I imagine will make it the perfect travel companion.

Kate Sylvester Top, Supre jeans, Karen Walker blazer, Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs katie bracelet I remember once, when I was in my early teens, exclaiming that I would never wear skinny jeans.

What’s more, is that they have quickly become a staple item in my wardrobe. In fashion, it…
Ashley Fogel jumper, Acne skirt, Witchery silver ballet flats, Mimco starlight necklace, Marc by Marc Jacobs katie bracelet, Karen Walker sunglasses I’ve currently been loving the look of a pale grey jersey paired with soft prints of any description, florals in particular. It’s almost like an ode to Spring, with nods to the omnipresent pastel trend that seems to appear in stores this time of year, and a softer palette that is a reflection of the warmer days that come along with the season. I get that this is about as new as sliced bread, but it never ceases to…
Kate Sylvester top, girl. by Band of Outsiders skirt, Glassons cardigan (similar), Witchery shoes, Alexander Wang bag, Diva necklace, Gorjana bracelet While I’ve never found a purchase to warrant the need to put it on the moment I get home and prance around all evening, I usually find myself wanting to wear it at the soonest available opportunity. More often than now, I’ll wear it within the week, but some purchases, such as this Band of Outsiders skirt, warrant a (very patient) wait of a month or more, for seasonally appropriate weather. I suppose if I weren’t so precious about…
