one for the boys.

balmain and fendi sent them down the runway, and as we know, nicolas and karl never get it wrong, so i'm guessing quilted jackets are going to be a wardrobe must for the boys this season.

one of my favourites would have to be this waxed number from lavenham, a brand famed for its chic and minimalist silhouettes. wear it with anything - we've gone for balenciaga's the kill tee and acne's snake jet black jeans.

all the cool kids have acne

yet more shoe love. this time it's acne that has stolen my heart. with a store recently opening in london, this scandinavian brand is going from strength to strength. its meteoric rise originated from comparatively humble beginnings, namely a collection of 100 pairs of jeans in 1997 that was distributed to friends and family of designer jonny johnasson.

the brand's strength lies in its fabulous basics that are imbued with effortless cool (who doesn't need a bit of that?). and of course, the wedges above. i love the way the wedge plays on positive and negative space, turning the stiletto on its head (although, i could be over-thinking this).

seek out the divine at 13 dover st, w1s 4ln, or [here]

a thought from london fashion week

with winter rapidly approaching, i'd basically resigned myself to necessarily bidding farewell to sheer summer separates. however, rather than relegate my summer staples (read maxi dress and racer back singlets) to the back of the wardrobe until the sun decides to shine on london town once more, i've decided to run with the acne ss11 crowd, and layer them up. obviously the notion is still a bit pre-season, but i think i can icicle-proof the look by adding my khaki coat and go-to beige snood.

this may indicate a dogged tendency towards seasonal-denial, but i don't think i'll ever change. i guess you can take the girl out of sydney, but you can't take the sydney out of the girl.
