Monday morning = catch up time on all the things I didn't get done last week in a state of mild panic. One of those things being updating my blog, having neglected to for most of last week. This week I'm back to normal and kicking off with this little gem of an editorial for Self Service. I immediately fell in love with the simple silhouettes and grown-up nineties styling. And the hair, obviously. But mainly that structured mini dress. Swoon.

Snake, fur, leather, black, white, crops, oversized everything, turtlenecks...this is my sartorial equivalent of a kid in a candy store. SO much love.

Sporty editorials seem to be everywhere at the moment, and I'm not complaining. I fell in love with this one the second I saw the fantastically ugly/amazing combination of sport socks and platform sandals.  Definitely going to use that styling tip myself. The Nike arm sleeves and socks are a great use of actual sportswear and give the shoot a little touch of authenticity missing in other editorials of it's genre. Well done Flair.

COME AS YOU ARE FOR MIXT(E)

I don't think I'm alone in saying that I cannot wait for Spring. I'm kind of sick of worrying about how many layers I'm wearing and accessorising everything with a mandatory scarf/glove/umbrella combination. In terms of fashion, however, I find that far too often people equate spring and summer with garish colour and an excess of florals. Which is 100% not me. So it's always nice to see an editorial like this one for Mixt(e) magazine's Spring/Summer issue. Kristen Owen's messy hair contrasted against the clean white lines screams effortless chic. I fear by the end of the summer Alexander Wang's 'Parental Advisory' slogan will be somewhat overused, having already seen a whole host of high street copycat versions. But here I'll let it slide.

SPORT

There is something about the sport luxe trend which gives off the ultimate just-threw-this-on vibe, and seeing as I fear any fussy, overly thought-through outfits, this trend is my sartorial best friend. Also added some yellow to prove that I occasionally wear colours other than black and white...
