Silk Pyjama Suit Jacket / Plaid Trousers / Chanel Bag

Hello all!

I fear I am becoming a bit obsessed with black and white as of late (perhaps I should consider changing career paths entirely, move to France and become a mime?) The parts of my spring wardrobe I've already started collecting do actually contain some colour - but recently I've discovered what most people already know; black and white just go together so well...

I bought this pyjama-style suit on Friday, along with its matching trousers - which I initially planned to wear together. Despite these plans, when I got home and re-assesed the situation I decided the matching suit worn in the way that it's supposed to be is a little bit too predictable for me, I'd like to think you are accustomed to me enough by now to know that I favour something slightly more mad. (I did actually want to walk around with a pipe tucked into the jacket pocket so I could furrow my brow and pretend to smoke it whilst thinking, but my ever-descreasing sense of shame/public embarrassment stopped me. On this occasion.)

Chanel Earrings / Boucle Jacket / Miu Miu Sunglasses

Hello all!

Today, I thought I'd share an outfit which includes three new birthday pieces I picked up with my mother on my birthday-day shopping spree; a beautiful, black Zara boucle jacket with white flecks, military-esque silver buttons and the occasional bronze sequin, Miu Miu tortoiseshell sunglasses & my new prized possessions; a pair of gold Chanel earrings I recieved from my very generous and lovely Grandmother.

You might notice that the photos below switch from day lit London to the night time traditional garden setup - the reason being, the camera was running low on battery so I waited until I arrived home that evening to take some 'detail' shots.

So, I'm happy to say that the 'new in' section of my wardrobe is well and truly stocked up and I won't be doing any much shopping for the foreseeable future! (That's a lie and we all know it.)

Frayed Boucle Jacket / Bib Tie Blouse at London Fashion Week

Hello all!

Well, the busiest week of my entire summer break from university has just come to a close, but oddly enough I can't wait to get back to Oxford on Thursday to start my second year. 

This monday I was fortunate enough to be invited along to London Fashion Week, so here's a quick overview of what I wore. I like to think of this outfit as me rebelling against many years of school uniform oppression. (I genuinely had to wear a kilt. I speak the truth.) Despite that, in my 'adult' life I absolutely adore the tailored look, but as always, worn in a way of my own - so even now boucle, blazers, buttoned up shirts and bow-ties often comprise several of my day-to-day outfits.

 On Thursday I also attended the Cosmopolitan and Vo5 Ultimate Street Style Icon 'Judging Day' - which was such an incredible experience, and so enjoyable. I'll be doing a full post on the day in the very near future!
