The Basics

As visions of pastels, strappy sandals and graphic shorts dance through my head, I'm forced to bundle up to combat the morning chill. Back to the basics of black and white, I combine my black skinny pant, white silk blouse, houndstooth vest and finished it off with my chunky Burberry scarf for a hint of color.

Herringbone

Though basic, I love the structured vibe of a collared shirt. You can build on it with jewelry and accessories or other articles like a herringbone quilted vest. You can't go wrong with skinny jeans and ballet flats!

Animal Instincts

Feeling slightly preppy today, I went with a more structured look. I've always been a fan of elephants  so they are hard for me to resist when on a shopping rampage! I love navy, but it can be difficult to pair with denim because of the color contrast, so I like to mix it in with different tints. To finish it off, I slipped on my glitter smoking slipper. Nothing like the power of a little glitz!

Fall in Love with Fur

I'm not sure what it is that draws me to fur so much, but I'm slightly obsessed. (This one is faux) I think you can dress the vest up or down with leggings, jeans or a dress. This look is dressed down, especially when adding the riding boot. Ideal for a brisk, windy afternoon!
