A MODERN TAKE

—————————————————

Wearing: Religion blazer, Aquascutum shirt, Charlie May wrap skirt, Nicolas Andreas Taralis skirt, Chloe sandals

There is something about black and white together that is just too perfect, leaving the focus on the design and folds of the fabric. This outfit is also kind of a modern feminine take on the classic white shirt and jacket, all I want to be wearing lately is a loose white shirt or a plain tshirt, it just feels perfectly summery and fresh. I hope you’re all having a great weekend! I’ve been so chilled.. I’m kind of looking forward to getting back to work!

CATHEDRAL WALL

Wearing: Ann Demeulemeester top, skirt and boots, ring by Dominic Jones

Wearing some new items bought from the stock sales in Antwerp this week, totally besotted with these new boots, they’re so beautiful! Also picked up this beautiful white chiffon top, it has some amazing back detailing that i’ll have to capture another time; and lastly this wrap skirt that caused me a bit of trouble in the wind and also got me a few stares when we accidentally stumbled upon the red light district, looking for a club, woops! 

Thank you Michael for the photos 

MONOCHROME LAYERS

Wearing: Ann-Sofie Back coat, Limi Feu coat, Charlie May sheer white dress, Dagmar black dress, Ann Demeulemeester triple lace boots, Alexander Wang clutch, Maria Nilsdotter rings

 Outfit worn on the 4th day of London fashion week, it was so cold at Somerset House I was glad for two jackets, which meant that the dress didn’t really come out other than for these photos.. oh welll! I love the layering of the Limi lapels over the minimal Ann-Sofie jacket, it’s so much warmer having a collar around your neck in the cold! This was my last day at LFW too before I admitted myself to bed for the rest of the week; I’m back in Devon now for some serious country relaxation, sat in front of the roaring fire as we speak. Perfection. Hope you’re all having a great weekend!

Thanks to Lexxi for the photos.

NICOLAS ANDREAS TARALIS SS12

I don’t know how I’ve gone so long without knowing about this guy but I discovered Nicolas Andreas Taralis randomly this morning, whilst trawling through the final markdowns online. You can watch the video to this collection on his website and watching the way the clothes move, will make you fall in love for sure. The concept for Nicolas is simplicity; clothes stripped back to their most natural form. I’m not talking about this specific collection, which has sci-fi influences but the general aesthetic. The styling is so paired back it feels like you can wear the pieces right off the runway. I’ve been hunting to find better images for the SS12 shoes too, but above was all I could find. Still totally amazing, of course but I want to see more of the knee high white cut out boots!
