Black basics

Lover ‘shelley’ a-line dress (similar), Whistles leather jacket (similar), See by Chloe boots (in tan), Proenza Schouler PS11 bag I think I have writer’s block. You know, where you try and try and try to put pen to paper, but the words aren’t coming out the way that you expect them. Each line you write, every keystroke made, is just a pool of mismatched words and letters, akin to a bowl of alphabet soup. The harder you try, the worse it seems to get; Inspiration is such an organic process, it comes along suddenly and can’t be switched on and…

Connie Cao, MBFWA

I snapped a couple photos of Connie from K is for Kani looking cute in Alice McCall and Shakuhachi. If you’re a regular reader of her blog then you’d know that girl is certainly not shy of a bold colour, or mixing print on print, something that Connie does with absolute ease.

My reluctance to purchase these…

Grey Comma

It’s not often that you stumble across an online boutique and find that everything just ‘clicks’, with a range of clothing and accessories that is both seamless and cohesive, paired with incredible styling and a reasonable price point throughout. Grey Comma, a Korean-based online store featuring clothing from independent Korean designers, is one of the few I’ve been recently introduced to (thanks Una!) that ticks all those boxes, and more. I found myself immediately drawn to the minimal aesthetic, and mostly simple colour palette of white, black, navy, blush and camel, offset by a range of Spring ready micro-floral prints.…
