Glassons peplum top (similar), American Apparel black l/s top, Sretsis skirt, Vintage boots, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Marc Jacobs katie bracelet & House of Harlow bangles I don’t often buy into trends, opting instead to buy pieces that complement my current wardrobe.

Originating in the late 1800s as a uniform for sailors to make it easier to spot them in the water and referred to as the mariniere, the breton stripe top has since come a long way, firmly embedding itself in…
Karen Walker shirt & sunglasses, T by Alexander Wang jumper, Sretsis skirt, Givenchy heels (similar), Meadowlark ring, Marc by Marc Jacobs earrings While I can’t refute the power an accessory can lend an outfit, sometimes the clothing speaks for itself, requiring the addition of little else.
