One of my favourite styles this season – and always, really – is mixing casual, everyday pieces with eveningwear. It’s a look I’ve been seeing a lot on the streets of London – women wearing beautiful cocktail dresses with wedge trainers, or slouchy boyfriend jeans and an oversized tee polished off with sharp kitten heels. This style is all about being cool and effortless, whilst at the same time having a touch of elegance. The trick is not to look too put together. Just play around with textures and colours until you hit upon something you really love! For me it was this outfit – I love the cool tee with the elegance of this Helmut Lang skirt (my first purchase from one of my favourite designers!), and the colours are really laid back and casual.

I actually love this whole outfit!! Wondering if Hero & Cape do that tee for men though, I’ll need to have a look! x
They do all their printing to order so I’m sure you could ask? x
Hot skirt! Great shoes too!
Glad you like them T!
WOW, this is one hell of a gorgeous look! I love that skirt, I just got something similar in the same color from River Island. Such a pitty it’s such shitty weather here in Holland though. And I still want those shoes! Those are just perfect. Problem is I already have waaaay to many shoes 😉
Anyway I fell in love with your blog, so count me in as your newest follower! Can’t wait to see more!

I was admiring the gentle fall of the skirt before scrolling down and seeing it was Helmet Lang. Of course!
Sigh. Now to just buy the rest of his collection …
