One of a Kind

Whilst browsing for style inspiration earlier, I came across a picture of, um, an Olsen and whilst originally glancing at it quickly as just a rather plain casual outfit, I did a double-take and realised that, in fact, I liked it very much. The way in which the sparkly evening bag is pared with a very casual slouchy outfit makes me very happy indeed makes it look effortless and quirky at the same time. And whilst I despise white sunglasses (so have substituted with tortoiseshell) this. on the whole, is a look that I could live in for a long time. Plus, with my recent bag downsizing agenda, this is a perfect solution.

TopFour : Denim Shirts

Now this is something I never thought I’d say: I want a denim shirt.

It seems strange that after overdosing on denim as a child in the mid-nineties I swore never again to wear denim above the waist but I feel oddly drawn to an oversized slouchy denim shirt, worn with black ankle leggings and white pumps with messy swept back hair looking as if I’d just arrived on a horse galloping wildly across plains and pastures instead of trudging up and down escalators on the london underground.
