Staircases


Photos by Max Rowan

Whilst I love a print mix as much as the next person, sometimes all a statement piece such as this skirt needs are great basics.

I opted to pair down my nostalgia skirt (explanation here) with go to staples, to achieve a weekend errand running friendly outfit.

Pieces such a great biker jacket and staple grey singlet really are the types of wardrobe gifts that keep on giving. Unlike that pair of heels you keep trying to wear in despite the blister attack that ensues, these pieces will never let you down.

Speaking of footwear, these metallic bad boys that I picked up during a holiday in France have me craving another European adventure.

  27. Absolutely love how you've toned down the skirt by going for a range of neutrals. You remind me of cloudy day, only fashionable and not an indication of rain.

  41. Cool design. A leather jacket can be styled in many different ways and be associated with various lifestyles, professions and people. Leather jackets are a common feature among bikers, people in the army, navy and air force, policemen and outlaws. For more information go to leatherane.org they take used leather trench coats and reconstruct them into recycled leather jackets. Due to this process each of their jackets is one of a kind!
