Uniform
I've found myself really going off silk shirts recently (too clingy and perilous for a haphazard eater like myself), favouring super-soft washed cotton styles that almost verge on preppy instead. Not my thing at all normally, but with low-slung jeans and lots of leather I think it kind of works and is something of a fuss-free uniform I keep turning to at the moment.
I picked up this one by Something Else in the sale from Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago but you can get similar ones from Boy. by Band of Outsiders, MiH Jeans, and The Row.
Seen here with trusty Office boots, Zara jeans and Whistles jacket.
Turtle and the Hare
After a few days in Stockholm (AKA my new favourite city) for fashion week, I'm starting to look ahead to Winter's shorter days, longer nights, and it being cool enough to pull on my current knitwear of choice.
Turtlenecks, polonecks, rollnecks-whatever you choose to call them, I plan on spending a lot of time in one as soon as the temperature starts to drop. The thought is almost making me look forward to the onset of Autumn....
Leather and Leopard
After a 6 years of endless wear, many 'where-did-you-get-that's and numerous near-misses in terms of losing it, my beloved Topshop leather jacket has finally succumbed to threadbare elbows and a slightly greenish tinge and subsequently forced me to, very guiltily, to reinvest in a shiny new biker courtesy of Whistles.
London was unrelentingly hot yesterday but it was just about cool enough to throw on my new purchase for a few shots (and then hastily removing it to head down into the sweltering tube).
Worn here with vintage Levis cut-offs, LNA T-shirt, Bertie leopard pony skin boots, Topshop belt and Celine bag.
The quilted leather biker jacket is called the Marlon quilted and is by Whistles.
Circa 1988
This was Anna Wintour's first ever U.S Vogue cover in 1988. Apparently the only reason the model's wearing denim is because she'd put on a bit of weight and couldn't fit into the Couture picked out for the shoot. Just goes to show, sometimes when things don't go to plan, it can end up leading to great, unexpected results.
Love her smile and the get-up which, 24 years on, now feels current all over again.
Street Talk
If it wasn't so hot in London today, I'd be up for stealing Barbara Martelo's entire look.
Just discovered Tommy Ton has a Tumblr as well as Jak and Jil. Even more street style stalking awaits.

Shuffle
Excluding the vertigo-inducing GIFs, these are all recently taken from my Pinterest boards.
I was temporarily stopped from pinning the other day-apparently I was pinning so much Pinterest thought I was spam. Clearly I do it shamefully frequently....
If you're on Pinterest, you can find me HERE.
P.S If anyone's in need of a new book recommendation, I read the incredible Pulitzer-prize winning A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jenifer Elgan last weekend. So good, I read it 1 1/2 times in the same amount of days.... For anyone who, like me, loved Cloud Atlas and its themes of shared destinies and the passing of time, I have a feeling you'll find it difficult to put this one down.

L.A PHOTO DIARY X 2
At the canals before heading to Chateau Marmont for dinner, wearing Pierre Balmain shirt and Levi's shorts.

This guy and his pooch were lapping up some serious attention on the boardwalk. One of my favourite shots from the whole week.
The light over there is amazing, you can see why so many photographers choose to base themselves in L.A. Wearing a backless playsuit I picked up from The Reformation which was definitely one of those totally impractical 'I love it but will probably only wear it once a year on holiday' purchases. Still, I did get one wear out of it on our last night when we had an amazing dinner at Capri on Abbot Kinney. It was just a little too chilly and dark to show it sans-jacket but I'll try and get some proper photos of it sometime soon before the sun packs up and leaves the U.K for good...
Final installment from LaLaland.... The whole trip already feels like a lifetime ago and very surreal and dream-like. Hoping it's not too long till I can venture back and explore the West Coast lots more.
