Somehow, a combat print can be made feminine. Look to the streets of Paris where hundreds of models are currently running round in their off-duty-chic uniforms of high-fashion pieces brought down to earth with the likes of chunky knits and camo jackets. Be still, my beating heart. I decided to take the plunge & purchase my first ever military-inspired piece (I've never been a fan of those god-awful button-down jackets) which is this Topshop Studded Camo Jacket (£75), it was the studded shoulders that won me over, and it really does look good casually thrown over a chic outfit. This La Garconne Moderne Oversized Jumper (£220) is perfectly chunky to be paired with these sleek Zero + Maria Cornejo silk shorts (£330), Topshop Boutique do an excellent cheaper alternative. I'm obsessed with throwing on a gold, edgy piece of jewellery, be it a subtle skull or spiked chain to add another layer of texture and interest to an outfit. Cheapo ones will do, this £7 marvel from the site Chic Nova does the job perfectly. I'm not a high-street bag well, and firmly believe if you invest in the bones - they'll last forever. The Celine Luggage Bag is no exception. I've expressed my love for these beautiful Isabel Marant Lazio Wedge Boots before, expect to see them featured many, many times so I can convince myself they're versatile enough to go with pretty much any outfit...
