Golden oldie

 (Ph/ Stockholm Streetstyle)

An oldie from last September, but a goodie nonetheless that has just cropped up on my favourite streestyle blog. Just goes to show, dressing in a timeless way during LFW has its perks - almost 8 months in and am still in the game! Now, all I'm hoping is that my pins come back from Bali looking as golden as they do here - Winter has been dragging on this year, and boy does it show! 

I'm wearing: Ba&sh leather dress - Topshop coat - Mango pumps - Celine bag - ASOS jewelery and sunnies 

Boyfriend dressing

This past month has been a whirlwind of adventures, and I could not be more excited for my next stop: Bali. We take off tomorrow and I've got to say, the promise of summer sun seems almost too good to be true.

Meanwhile, I'm still catching up with past travels... Pictured here, what I wore in NY on a cold, drizzly day a few weeks back. My hair is a mess (more so than usual, that is) and the supersized shades are doing a poor job at disguising my jet lag, but the conversation between graphic checks and über-distressed denim was not one to be missed.

Now, time to pack. I can't wait to share all the summer goodies I will be bringing along with me. Ta.

I'm wearing: One Teaspoon jeans (more boyfriend jeans here) - Zara blazer and shoes (similar here and here) - Tibi top - Acne clutch - Karen Walker sunnies

Welcome home

Just got home from a fantastic weekend in Paris (as testified by the tourist-in-my-own-city instafeed) with an extra rock or two weighing down my luggage. 

In love. 

London reborn

(Ph/Sandra Hagelstam)

When Nike asked me to create a pair of ID's to match my City capital C, my immediate thoughts went to our flag. As flags go, the Union Jake really is quite the stylish emblem, with its layered crosses in red, white and blue. Have incidentally always found it very convenient that my other flag uses the same colour palette.  Makes buying patriotic clothes all the more easy. But let's not get into that today.

Now, I like my flag as much as the next merry Brit. But red, white and blue strike me as being a tad old school, don't you think? It got me thinking. If we the people were to create a new flag today (let's assume for argument sake that the task would not be left to a boring tight circle of 50-something politicians), would we not want it to match our newfound obsession with garish tones and neon accents? Yes we would.

Also, the purple matches the wisteria on my street. Plus electric orange is Harry's favourite colour. Hashtag fit for a royal! Don't quote me on that, tough.

So there you go London, here are your new (post-modern) colours. This is what you would had you been born in 2013. Do with it what you will, but I think you look banging. In fact, I may write to Downing Street. And given all my troubles, the least you could do would be to turn the heating up a notch.All this layering in May is making us want to leave you for a more exotic island. Not that we ever would, dear London.

Club Monaco

So the wait is over and am thrilled to finally share with you guys some of the images we shot for Club Monaco's fall 2013 social lookbook last month. Besides the amazing opportunity to explore NYC properly for the first time (let the record state I will be moving there ASAP), I got to work with the most fun and talented team ever. I would like to take say a massive thanks for including me on this amazing project. To you my lovely readers, I hope you like the looks.

Ps: Gold medal goes to Aleksandra Woroniecka, the gorgeous (French) stylist on set, who managed to get me to embrace pastel pink. Now there's a first for you.
