the skirt

Topshop sweater, Zara skirt, Chloé boots, Michael Kors watch.

This skirt seems to have been featured on so many blogs lately and I can completely see why. I've tried it on with near enough everything I could think of and it works so well with all of it. I can't see myself wearing it much next spring but for winter it really is perfect. I'd been waiting for it to become available to buy online for ages but in the end gave up and went to the Zara store on Oxford Street where luckily they had some left. I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of this skirt on my blog but for the first time wearing it I paired it with a Topshop sweater and my favourite Chloé boots. I promise I will wear some different footwear soon!

part blazer part coat

Mango coat, Topshop sweater, Three Floor shorts, Chloé boots.

I knew I had to have this Mango coat as soon as I saw it online. I love how casual and easy it is to wear  and also the fact that it's a mix between a blazer and a coat. It's also super affordable which is always a bonus. I wore it with an old Topshop sweater that I sort of forgot I had, my Three Floor quilted shorts that I always seem to wear at least once a week lately and Chloé Susanna boots. I have to admit that I felt slightly guilty spending quite so much money on one pair of boots but if you take cost per wear into account then they really didn't cost that much at all. At least that's how I justify it to myself.

herringbone coat

I'm pretty obsessed with this herringbone coat I recently bought from Mango. So obsessed that I ended up keeping it in both colours after being sent the darker version when ordering it the first time. I bought a size bigger than I normally would as I wanted it to look slightly more masculine and oversized. I'll post more photos of this outfit soon.

army jacket

Urban Outfitters jacket, Isabel Marant tank, Topshop jeans, Chloé shoes, Michael Kors watch.

I've had this Urban Outfitters army jacket for such a long time now and wear it so often that I was surprised when I realised that I'd never featured it on my blog before. So here it is, finally. I paired it with my Isabel Marant team tank, that I picked up when I was last in NY, Topshop jeans and Chloé braided sandals. I'm not going to lie, my feet were freezing cold.

suede crochet

Topshop jacket, Evil Twin dress, Topshop leggings, Chloé boots.

As soon as I walked past this street in London I just knew that I needed to have photos taken here. I think it was the colourfully graffitied walls that drew me in, even though they're barely noticeable in these photos. I was in London for a press day and to do some overdue shopping on Oxford Street. I have to admit that this Evil Twin tank dress and Topshop open knit suede jacket weren't the best things to wear on such a surprisingly cold day but it'd been so long since I last wore them that as soon as I looked through my wardrobe that morning they became all I wanted to wear.

pink shorts in autumn

Topshop sweater, Runwaydreamz shorts, Chloé boots.

I bought these pink, almost Barbie-esque, shorts by Runwaydreamz a couple of years ago which was back when they were still just a small company selling shorts on eBay. These shorts have definitely become more distressed over the years but I have no plans of parting with them anytime soon. I wore them with the warmest and most comfortable sweater I own, from Topshop, and my Chloé Susanna boots.

fuzzy sweater in london

H&M sweater, Three Floor shorts, Chloé boots.

I fell in love with this fuzzy sweater when I first saw Lana wear it in H&M's Fall 2012 campaign and couldn't resist it when I found it in store. The super pale pink mixed with the slightly 90's vibe really fits my mood right now. I'm almost certain that I could wear it with just about every pair of shorts I have but for shopping in Covent Garden I decided to wear it with Three Floor quilted shorts and Chloé boots. 

sleeveless tuxedo jacket

Isabel Marant sleeveless tuxedo jacket, Topshop sweater, Topshop jeans, Isabel Marant boots, Michael Kors watch.

This Isabel Marant sleeveless tuxedo jacket is definitely one of my favourite things in my wardrobe. It's so easy to throw on over anything and keeps me surprisingly warm. I wore it with my Isabel Marant dicker boots, Topshop jeans which were cuffed of course and a Topshop sweater. I swear that pretty much all of Isabel Marant's shoes/sneakers/boots look so much better worn with jeans that are cuffed or cropped. I guess it's the 'Marant way'. Also, please excuse the mess of my windswept hair in these photos. I really do envy women who can pull off messy effortless hair, but alas, I am not one of them.

relaxed

Topshop t-shirt, One Teaspoon jeans, Alexander Wang shoes, Céline sunglasses, Michael Kors watch.

I hadn't worn these jeans in quite a while and slightly forgot how much I love the relaxed fit of them. I have to wear them cuffed unless I want them to drag along the ground. Most of my life I've had difficulty finding jeans long enough for me so it's a nice change when I find jeans that I have the opposite problem with. I wore them with my super basic Topshop tee, that I now regret not buying in every colour available, Alexander Wang Joan pumps and Céline Audrey sunglasses.

lover & fabiana

H&M blouse, Lover shorts, Alexander Wang shoes.

I wore this outfit to the second day of LFW and I have to admit that by the time I got home I could barely walk. The Alexander Wang Fabiana's may be beautiful but after a few hours they really started to inflict some pain. Luckily my Lover Mystical Cami shorts remained comfortable the whole day. They're so easy and light to wear that I tend to run and grab them on any remotely warm day. It's already getting colder here in England so I'll probably have to put them away soon until next spring. Also, when Dan was taking these photos of me I never even noticed the stormy sky looming over in the last two photos. It makes a pretty cool background for them though.

gaga appropriate

Next shirt, Three Floor shorts, Chloé boots, Alexander Wang sunglasses.

I wore this outfit to the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball the weekend before last. I wanted to make sure I was comfortable the whole night but added the Alexander Wang Zoro sunglasses to make the whole look more 'Gaga appropriate'. That's a term I came up with a couple of hours before leaving for the show.

silver & white

H&M blouse, Topshop shorts, Isabel Marant sneakers, Alexander Wang bag, Céline sunglasses, Michael Kors watch.

I was a bit unsure whether to completely go with the sporty vibe of these shorts or play it down a little. Instead I ended up trying to do both. I knew immediately after buying these shorts that I'd end up wearing them with my Isabel Marant sneakers. Wearing them with a perfectly white blouse was an idea that came to me a little later on. I also paired them with my Céline Audrey sunglasses and Alexander Wang Rocco which both seem to come with me near enough every time I leave the house.

spiked

Topshop sweater, Zara shorts, Jeffrey Campbell boots.

I know that Jeffrey Campbell Lita's have been seen on the feet of near enough every fashion blogger but I still can't help but love them. Dan bought me these for Christmas and I never get bored of the comments I get from people when I wear these. They usually say something about how dangerous they look and, in all honesty, the spikes are surprisingly sharp. I decided to wear them with crochet shorts and a Barbie-esque dip-dyed sweater. Not sure if this thing is meant to be a top or a dress so I tend to use it as both.
