James Perse shirt dress (or in charcoal!), Isabel Marant dicker boots, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel, MBMJ katie bracelet Rewind to a few weeks ago, in the calm before the storm that is Fashion Week.

Not quite lavender, it seems best described as a brilliant cornflower blue; the perfect accompaniment to the blue shaded takeover my wardrobe is experiencing. Anticipating a bit of blue on blue on blue on blue? Yes please.
