the clash

Jumper with oval hem: H&M. Zebra skinnies: Trash & Vaudeville. Boots: All Saints. Hat: H&M.
One thing I love is mixing up animal print. Some of you remember the last clash here.
Not sure about you lot, but I used to despise wearing jumpers in winter. Little things like adding a drop hem though, makes them 10 x better and a nod to Dries Van Noten.
ps. I am beyond honoured to be listed as one of Vogue UK's fave fashion blogs. My site automatically updates on their's each time I have a new post. Click here for their blog list.
Thank you Vogue UK!

  31. That feature on Vogue UK is awesome; have always liked British Vogue more than Anna's sorry excuse of a mag.

    Also, they should have you above The Satorialist cuz Michael takes way more better pictures than Scott. I hope Garance reads this.

    Congrats of the Vogue UK thing!

  48. Thank you everyone for the words. I really do make a point to read what you all say. Honest.

    It really does mean a lot to have even been SEEN by Vogue UK. (I nearly fell of my chair when they contacted me).

    Susanne - agreed. Lazy dressing at its best possibly.

    Fashion Chalet - woah that really means alot for you to save it. Your images that keep are stunners.

    Caylee - thank you! That was the feel I was going for. *exhales that I didn't look like I'd lost my head*

    Roxana - I won't forget those words in a hurry. Thank you.

    Tay - only YOU could write this and have me cracking up.!!! See you next month ; )

  50. Wow! I love your style and your blog!! Amazing! <3
    I was wondering if you could write some tips about the best places to shop in London? (After reading your profile I figured you were the right person to ask) Cause I've just moved to London to study, and I always end in Oxford street and other touristy places when shopping... Where are the hidden treasures? =)
