Moxham ‘Anubis’ Necklace / ASOS Tank Top / Jovonnista Pleated Nude Maxi Skirt * / Angie Gooderham Chunky Ring / Topshop Boots /
Bracher Emden for Jean-Pierre Braganza ‘Geo’ Clutch *
Incase you hadn’t already noticed from the layout, black & nude is one of my favourite colour combinations. Nude is usually the closest I get to wearing a colour that could be considered ‘girly’, though I think it has an edgyness to it also, especially when paired with black. I love wearing a nude tank top or dress that is almost too close of a match to your skin tone, add black accessories & I think it looks so striking & beautiful, plus it’s always fun to watch people in the distance gawk at you thinking you have nothing on!
I haven’t been able to stop staring at this Bracher Emden clutch since I received it last week, I think I’m in love. As I’ve mentioned many times before, I’m not much of a bag person, it’s usually shoes that make my heart go weak, but this is a different story. I think in part it’s is due to the strong Sci-Fi feel about it, I’m a huge nerd & love anything science fiction related, but mostly I’m a massive fan of HR Giger’s work & that was my first thought when I saw this clutch. It doesn’t help that I’ve recently watched Prometheus & the Alien quadrology (no, not including those awful Alien Vs. Predator movies!) a fair few times in the last month either! But then adding to that the beautiful construction & the fact it’s part of a collaboration with Jean-Pierre Braganza, one of my current favourite British designers (& I would guess also a huge Sci-Fi nerd!) & I was smitten!
And yes, I’m wearing my Moxham again! I couldn’t resist though, it is such a perfect match for this pleated maxi from Jovonnista, toughening it up & giving it that little bit of edginess that I always like to have when wearing anything overly feminine. I have way too many maxi dresses / skirts already, but I couldn’t say no to this one, the pleats, uneven hem & the ideal my-arm-almost-blends-into-it nude… Perfect!

you look incredible! i love the clutch, too. such a well put-together, dramatic look! xx
beautiful photos and I love the skirt!
love the nude shade however i think i might be a tad too tan to pull it off. it looks amazing on you however, just a little jealous :) as for the clutch i kind of zoned in on it right away.. i love it! before reading your post i had the design pegged down as greek mythology influenced as it looked like wings to me, maybe because i’m just obsessed with wings in general. it’s super rad and i love that your ring has similar lines!
Aw, thank you! I guess there are certain perks to being so pale! :) Yeah, it does look a little like wings too! There’s a white version also, which I think would look even more so like wings, maybe it’s because it’s black, I see it as being something darker & more Sci-Fi. I love when things like this can be interpreted in so many ways, I think it’s the mark of a truly great design when everyone can see their own individual influences in it! :)
You are looking elegant. The contrast of the soft pastel skirt and the Rock star chic necklace -is a unique idea and I love it.
have a nice day !
Thank you for the comment on my tattoo post, so nice to have a genuine reply on here! What tattoo are you thinking of getting next and which artist is it? I’m sure you’re so excited.

Isn’t Jovonnista just fabulous?!
I purchased and featured a pair of their pleated trousers just a few weeks ago (http://chicachia.blogspot.com.au) – and I love how all their pieces are feminine yet edgy
The skirt looks incredible on you, darl! :) Following!

Totally agree! I can never do anything too girly, but they have the right mix & a little edginess, like you mentioned, so perfect for me! I shall go have a look at your trousers, I considered those myself, but wasn’t sure if I could pull them off! :)
That clutch and pleated skirt are like heaven!!! So beautiful love!

So nice to discover that we have another thing in common beside the love for fashion: science fiction! OK, my passion is limited to TV series as I grew up with Star Trek and more recently I loved Battlestar Galactica. Nude & black works so well for you and I loved the maxi-skirt (last week I was very close to buy a similar model). Wish you a great week-end!
What an awesome bag! The outfit is beautiful you look amazing in a maxi skirt!

Gorgeous – I have this skirt as well so it’s interesting to see how you’ve styled it!
I think what I love most about this outfit is that it’s dark and edgy without being to costume like. It’s hard to pull that off <3
