AllSaints Shirt / River Island Asymmetric Skirt / Topshop Studded Belt / Finsk Wedges / ASOS Spiked Bangle / Balenciaga City

This outfit is pretty much a mixture of old favourites. You’ve heard me raving about this River Island skirt too many times already, I wear this Topshop belt constantly & I’ve had this AllSaints shirt dress for years now. When I brought the dress I remember wondering if I’d actually get much wear out of it, but now I don’t know what I’d do without it! Isn’t it funny how a total impulse buy can become one of those things you go back to year after year. It’s a little on the short side, so its strictly leggings or thick tights only as a dress, but I think it works just as well tucked in as a top. It always reminds me how much I love this gauzy cotton lawn as a fabric too.

These Finsk wedges are slowly starting to give my Rick Owens ones a run for their money in terms of comfort. The leather is very thick & stiff on these, which I love for the architectural quality it gives them, but it meant they rubbed a little in the beginning. They’re feeling more comfortable each time I wear them though & the height makes them such perfect everyday shoes.

How perfect is my new ASOS bangle too? A super skinny gold band with a little spike at either end, it’s exactly the type of understated accessory I’ve been after for a while. Plus, it’s solid brass too, so it’ll stay nice & gold with no flaking, peeling or discolouration. I don’t know why other stores don’t make use of brass for their jewellery too. It’s such a good, cheap, alternative to gold & is so much better than the plated base metals you can buy for similar prices that only last a few wears.

‘Elena’ Umberto Barone

May 15th 2013 Inspiration

Umberto Barone for Bambi Magazine vol. XIII

I came across this editorial a few weeks ago whilst checking out the latest issue of one of my favourite online magazines, Bambi. Their editorials always kind of blow me away, but this one really grabbed me, perhaps for quite obvious (nerdy) reasons.

The beautifully stark black & white photography paired with the sharp, geometric backgrounds & the femme fatale styling make the whole thing look like it came straight out of a neo-noir style graphic novel. Sort of a high fashion take on Sin City. What’s not to love? It makes me want to dress like this every day & want almost everything featured, but especially the black jackets. Oh, and the harness, the thigh high boots, that amazing paneled skirt… I’m even craving a short, sharp black bob…

Also, if you’ve never checked out Bambi Magazine you really ought to. It features some of the most beautiful editorials & has such a strong personality too, they describe it as ‘Sex, Couture and Rock an’ Roll‘ & every editorial is just dripping with it. So, if you liked this one, it pretty much a guarantee you’ll enjoy the others too. Plus, you can browse the current issue, in full, along with all of the previous ones online at your pleasure. Great for when you need a hit of inspiration.

Dipped

I’m finding myself really drawn towards simpler shapes at the moment. I’m not sure if it’s because the weather is finally warming up & it’s nice to just be able to throw a simple dress on or if it’s more of a reflection on where I am at the moment. I seem to be cutting a lot of the unnecessary fuss out of my life, and maybe my clothing choices are subconsciously echoing this?

This Glamorous dress from MeeMee is a perfect example of this, a simple shift dress, but the dipped hem gives it just enough detail to keep it interesting. Here I’ve worn it belted with this super old H&M belt that I recently re-discovered & now can’t stop wearing, but I’m looking forward to wearing it even more simply when it gets really warm (fingers crossed!) – on its own, loose & unbelted with just a pair of flat sandals.

I’m sure you must be sick of these Rick Owens wedges by now too, I think I’ve worn them for the past 4 posts? But the fact is, now my toes aren’t getting frostbite from wearing them, they are my comfiest shoes & it’s getting all too easy to just throw them on. I actually can’t think of another pair that have been a better investment than these, they have been worth every single penny. I really should get around to getting another pair soon…
