What I would pack for NYFW

Unfortunately I am not going to New York Fashion Week... But if I was, this is what I would bring with me (in an ideal world where I actually owned these things, of course).

1. Rochas black tote

The practical and stylish essential. I would want to have everything I needed with me at all times. Who knows what mysterious things could be stowed away in there!

2. Chloe sandals

Best saved for a warmer day, these sandals may look painful, but seem as though they would add a chic,  minimalist touch to any outfit.

3. Celine clutch

Could work for both day and evening wear. Stylish and versatile!

4. Valentino dress

I loved every look of this collection so it would be hard to choose just one piece. This elegant dress can be worn in so many ways. For NYFW, I would add a pair of statement earrings (see below) or wear under a fur coat if it was chilly.

5. Dolce and Gabbana earrings

Beautiful Italian baroque. Not much more to say, really.

6. Jil Sander heels

Who doesn't love this combination of metallic, neon and taupe?

7. Balenciaga jacket

A little bit bad-ass. Especially if Karlie Kloss was wearing it with black skinny jeans.

8. Proenza Schouler jacket (or entire outfit)

Classic and understated but still oozes that effortless cool that Jack and Lazaro have mastered.

9. Fendi heels

So desirable in this brown/maroon colour and possibly very versatile for fashion week.

10. Lanvin outfit

I'm invited to a fabulously exclusive party? Lucky I have this exact Lanvin outfit on hand!

When Winter Approaches

The days are becoming cooler and this can only mean one thing: A new winter wardrobe! I've chosen looks from Fall 2012 that will inspire my winter dressing.

Lots of warm coats and jackets, knitwear, cropped trousers and wearable shoes!

Simple

i-D jumper, Ksubi jeans, Sportgirl bag, Betts shoes.

Chloe Leather

Madeline Bag by Chloe. My dream bag at the moment. I'm not sure which colour I would want if I could actually be in possession of this bag. Perhaps I would go for black, making the bag even more timeless...

Technical difficulties have stopped me from posting recently but I plan to update a little more frequently from now on.

Happy New Year!

I'm looking forward to starting a new year and having no idea what experiences and opportunities lay ahead. I'm all about being organised this year, and this goes for my wardrobe too. I want to invest in some classic pieces that I can wear all year. Mainly simple styles with a few statement pieces to play with. Here are some looks that are floating around my mind.
