Icons

Lauren Hutton is a legend and one of my personal style icons. It's almost like she's passing on the torch. How the twins chose her to be the face of The Row back in 08 was possibly a catalyst for the label.

Before the Storm

Now that winter is among us - once there's snow on the ground, there's no turning back - it's all bundles hereon forward. Back when the weather was slightly more clement i was living in cropped pants. Sayonara.

Lexical Field

Calvin Klein defines minimalism. Crisp, stark, unfussy, natural, simple. It takes one hell of a woman to carry it off.

Monochromatic

If there's one thing i like about the mercury plummeting, it's definitely how relevant cozy sweaters become. No need to look like a man, all you have to do is belt and skirt it. Voilà! Plus if Miuccia says so, you should definitely listen.

Cape

I like to think that Garance was drawing this with me in mind. Yes, i'm that vain. Ok just kidding, but i really am planning on taking out my cape this weekend - the first snowfall is happening saturday. Doomsday is upon us.

You know when you experience such powerful feelings that they completely take over your existence? Doesn't this image look like an accurate physical representation of that statement? I thought so.

Cougar Boots

As you may have noticed, i have made a point to steer clear from any form of advertising or endorsement on this blog. I carefully choose the content to reflect my taste, ensuring that fashion over reason is an accurate extension of my personality and a faithful reflection of my creativity.

That said, i was skeptical when Cougar Boots first approached me to test drive a pair from their revamped brand, but i was eventually won over by their cute rain boot selection and the gorgeous little video they made to introduce the collection. I chose the Tibet model because i thought it was right on with the varsity/utility trend that has recently surfaced, as demonstrated by my mood board below.


1. True Religion 2. Tommy Hilfiger3. Madeleine Thompson 4. Lacoste 5. Wren 6. Yves Saint Laurent 7. Ralph Lauren 8. Alexander Wang 9. Frankie B 10. Juicy Couture 11. Isabel Marant 12. Vince 13. Tommy Hilfiger

The boots are I N C R E D I B L Y comfortable. As in feels-like-you're -wearing-slippers comfortable. They're seriously perfect for those cold rainy fall days seeing as these babies will take you all the way down to 0°C to -24°C / 32°F to -11°F. The only downside was that they run big... i definitely could've gone down a whole size but i had the smallest size they make - a 6. Other than that, these are a solid investment if you're looking to get something different than all the Hunter-wearing clones out there. All my friends loved them and here's the ultimate test: the boyfriend liked them as well (that's a hard feat)!!

Here i am in my boots!

Sweet Emotion

How alluring is this? Such a perfect little party dress and so modernly twisted with all that camel! She looks so fresh-faced and natural, but nevertheless outstanding.

Jeans and a t-shirt, my favorite. Toss in some leather and some robocop boots (as baptised by my boyfriend) and you're good to go.

On that note, i hope you all have a wonderful weeekend!

That '70s Show

Such a great casual look. Bring on the 70s inspiration. I'm especially keen on that Céline bag, but then again, who isn't?

Welcome Home

Remember these? I decided to treat myself after graduating from university. Such a milestone deserved something epic and for this girl, it's her first pair of Alaïas.

Inspiration: Dries

One of last week's Who What Wear stories was all about Dries Van Noten, one of my favorite designers. Seemed like our thoughts had collided because just the week before that i had myself thrown together a look inspired by the phenomenal fall Dries collection. On a side note, thanks to all of you for the feedback on my iphone outfit shots! The message has been heard ;)


Under the blazer i had a grey long sleeve cashmere knit
