That Girl I Used to Know

Marni Platform Pumps at Net-a-Porter

Lover AW 12 collection 'Lydia'

Really feeling the aesthetic of Lover's Autumn Winter 2012 lookbook, particularly this little leather collared dress and the draped velvet jacket. I love the darker color palette and grungy undertones; reminds me of first discovering Fugazi in high school, uniform of inevitably ripped opaque stockings, shorter than allowed black skirt and headphones hidden in an oversized blazer and mass of unkept black hair.

I always love Marni but often don't see their collections fitting into my wardrobe, it's almost as though I see their pieces for myself at a different stage in life, or if I had a different lifestyle. These shoes, however were love at first sight. Perfect accompaniment to my favorite little black velvet dress or even with a crisp white blouse and black leather skirt - my lazy go to outfits which I know always work.

A sneak preview of a shoot from late last year. Luke Mansini is a long time friend and creative collaborator, and a very talented visual artist and musician. He has recently launched his solo project, which you can check out here. I always have the best time on shoots with this team and Luke really pushes the boundaries for his vision to be realised in everything he approaches. 

Special thanks to Ruby and Prankstar and Boxvintage for your support on this project.

I'm lusting after classic black for my wardrobe at the moment; these two pieces are on the top of my shopping list for the next month.

Sabrina de Hoff creates the most ingenius textural combinations in her jewelry, I recently acquired this beautiful piece and I am so excited! Perfect accompaniment for all the white frocks I've bought this summer.

I've started thinking about New Years Eve outfits and become slightly obsessed with these Dannijo crystal neckpieces. Divine. The creators, Dannielle and Jodie Snyder are both featured on The Coveteur at the moment and their NYC apartments are amazing.. definitely worth a look x

I'm loving these different navy textiles for AW 2012 that Sass and Bide have presented in their lookbook and runway. I'm seeing the above jacket paired back with a clean white outfit and the navy sequined pant suit worn as seen on the runway... head to toe with a great pair of heels.
