THE BOX

—————————————————

Wearing: Ann Sofie Back coat layered over Limi Feu jacket, Edun shirt, Moxham Eygypt necklace, Acne trousers, Jack Purcell Converse, Dagmar and Helmut Lang bracelets

—————————————————

Whilst this outfit may seem a little extreme for the nice weather we’re sort of having at the moment, this is the kind of look you get used to in London; warm if the weather turns mean and easily shed when the sun turns a smile.

I love this new shirt by Edun, which is pretty much just a square with a collar attached, also the whole ‘cocoon with some legs sticking out and walking around’ look. Super comfortable and super layered.

JAPANESE INSPIRED NAILS

As I’m sat inside trying to get over my morning of sunbathing in 30 degrees Zurich, I thought I could show you guys my final Bengt X So hot right nail post, before Jen comes back and we head off to see the city! Definitely the craziest of all three styles, I’d always wanted to try 3D nails, although I have to say I don’t think I could handle them in every day life as they catch on everything! At least now I can tick the crazy Japanese inspired nails off my bucket list! Worn with Moxham, E.A Burns and Louise Amstrup all from BENGT!

GOLD CRUST

Wearing: Ann Demeulemeester blazer and top, Acne trousers, bags by Danielle Foster, jewellery by Imogen Belfield and E. A. Burns, nails by So Hot Right Nail

The second instalment of my accessories shoot with Bengt and nail artist So Hot Right Nail. These were my favourite nails, hands down and I kept them on for a couple of weeks, until picking off the gems one by one became just too satisfying. Totally head over heels for all the Imogen Belfield jewellery, it’s like wearing rocks straight from the mine! Also, the coolest up and coming handbag designer, Danielle Foster, all the bronze and matt leathers are too irresistible to me! To see more amazing up and coming talent, go straight to BENGT.

PEELING

—————————————————

Wearing: Charlie May tie side shirt (now available on Bengt), Unknown gold collar, Vivienne Westwood trousers, Dr Marten shoes, Miu Miu sunglasses

—————————————————

The weather was finally nice enough the other day for me to start wearing some of my SS12 collection, which as you can now see from my tidied side bar, is now available to buy online. Jen’s been in town for the last few days and I’ve been enjoying relaxing in London; going to newly discovered coffee shops, eating cupcakes for breakfast and generally doing things that I don’t usually get to enjoy!

BENGT X NAILPOP PART I

Featuring Moxham patent clutches, taba cuff and E.A Burns necklaces on BENGT, nails by Nail POP.

Whilst shooting behind the scenes for Bengt, I had the chance to get involved myself with Bel on hand for some nail art. I was like a child in a candy store, she had so many colours, gems and even a real shed snakeskin for a very real snakeprint manicure! How could I resist? First off I got this leopard split nail that went particularly beautifully with a fluro Moxham clutch. All the items are available to buy on Bengt now and Bel from Nail Pop is free to come and fancify your nails! More to come from this later..

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH BENGT

Last weekend Bengt invited me along to be a fly on the wall during the SS12 and AW12 shoot. There were so many things to feast my eyes upon, I’m always keen to see what goes on on the other side and it was fun watching the Bengt girls style the looks together, whilst Lou Lou strutted back and forth in the insane platform Finsk shoes!

I’m so excited to announce that key pieces from my SS12 collection are available to buy on Bengt as of today, along with the other beautiful accessories you see accompanying the collection! The AW12 pieces you see snippets of will be available from September. I can’t wait to see you guys rocking the pieces! I’ll have to finally make some for myself too – crazy that I haven’t done that yet.

See more on BENGT.
