Maryam Nassir Zadeh Brown Clara teeshirt

A teeshirt is a staple piece, however I haven't worn one since I was a child. But thanks to Maryam Nassir Zadeh, I have reintroduced it into my wardrobe. Being my favourite shade of brown: delicious chocolatey chestnut, I knew it would be a perfect new addition. Envisaging it for late summer made me immediately need it, and now I shall be happily wearing it through until autumn.
Another new addition is my apartment, where I shall taking more outfit pictures. Thanks to the windowed backdrop and its natural light, it provides a perfect setting to take photographs.

Heavy silver

Heavy gleaming silver is bringing my pulse racing. There is something so enchanting about the appearance of molten metal clasping a wrist, or dripping from an ear. Perhaps it is it's shimmer or its appearance of expensive weight. Whatever it is I am heavily drawn in, and from ring, earring to bracelet I want to be wearing it.

Nandi Naya Yoli earrings

Dadaism has never enthralled me, I prefer the visible effort in impressionism. These earrings inspired  by artist Jean Arp however have enticed me. The way the hover on the ear, and their smooth simplicity fulfil my minimal tendencies. I have said before, I enjoy the way earrings can bring the beauty of sculpture to the body- and these minimal hoops certainly do.

Summer hue

The season of heat, excitement and vibrancy seems to have finally arrived. My mind is focusing on the warm haze it brings, and the colour palette to match. Shades of putty, ivory, silver and tawny  have been central to my inner moodboard. Here are the current images filling my mind.

Salvatore Ferragamo twin set

 

 

Two images spring to mind when thinking of a twin set: a 1940s secretary or an elegant sixties editorial. I hope this golden duo encapsulates the latter, with perhaps a slinky 90s feel. 

The metallic hue of the silk does reflect the sheen of the decade, with the golden tips of the cardigan tie adding that extra sparkle.The combination of a two piece gives me a great sense of satisfaction, with the pieces allowing for mixing and matching. With this set, I will be wearing it from day to night thanks to the muted tone, and simplicity.

Tee shirts

My current pieces of desire. Teeshirts are my new items of lust, and make for easy pairing. With the addition of jewellery, their simplicity allows them to dressed up or down. Myself, I would style them with culottes and MNZ slides for daytime, and add my Celine earrings for evening. 

The Sophie Buhai ring is also particularly enticing...

Summer legs

Summer legs: Tanned limbs and sandy flip-flops are usually what come to mind. However when it comes to British summertime, this is not always the case. With sunny days being a a rarity, trousers are my go to piece.
Coming with my love of culottes, these are the pairs I'm longing for this season.
