Zara Slip Dress and Navy Coat

I love the old Hollywood idea of wearing nothing but underwear under a coat. The statement is one of a dichotomy of sex appeal and affluence. Your mink fur coat was so expensive that you could be naked underneath and still feel a million bucks. Of course, we happen to be living in an era where

MAD LOVE the label drop crotch jeans

Recently, a piece I just can’t resist wearing all the time is my distressed drop crotch jeans by Australian brand MAD LOVE the label (their ‘Clique Low Slung’ pant).

The Wedge High Top

I definitely wasn’t one to question the merits of the wedge high top when Isabel Marant’s cult Bekett turned upon the scene last year. For me, they made all kinds of sense, and I was obsessed. The irony, of course, is that these would be completely unsuitable for any actual sporting use. In fact, if you tried
