{the rachelle edit : winter pastels}

Pastel hues are too irresistible to limit to spring and summer months; thick chunky knits and ankle grazing chinos make a refreshing change from typical pale chiffon dresses and of course, allow for year round wear.

I'm obsessed with this stunning Acne cable knit jumper (£100 at My Wardrobe), throw it over a crisp white shirt (Joseph do great basics, this sleeveless shirt is only £59 in the Coggles sale). These Topshop chinos are as warm as they are stylish - I adore the contrast between the peachy coral bottom half and aqua jumper, broken up with the clean white shirt. Accessories should probably be kept to a minimum, but a nude bag will do the trick (or if you're incredibly stylish and have a well stocked Proenza PS1 wardrobe, this coral bag will gain you extra fashion points) and the same goes for shoes - heels of course - a pointed toe nude pump would complete the outfit perfectly, or dress up the look a little with metallic Rebecca Minkoff platforms. 

A New Week.. and Late Weekend Links

When the 'Happy Weekend' links don't arrive until Monday, you know its been a good weekend. Its been one of those special ones you know that you're going to look back on and smile in the years to come; live music and gin, gorgeous restaurants and a pub in the afternoon, lie-in's til noon complete with breakfast in bed and a healthy dose of lying with entwined limbs, candles and a glass of wine or two...

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend and we're all starting the week as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as I am...

Hello: A Brand New Month | October

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

~ Roald Dahl

. . . I love watching the traditional British seasons changing, and the transition from late summer to autumn is a particular favourite. hues of  burnt orange, gold, taupe, sable and bronze act as inspiration to transport us into the later end of the year (where has 2012 gone?) as always; much more below...

Hello: A Brand New Month | August

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

~ Coco Chanel.

A new month, the peak of summer, August - is upon us. I cannot wait to spend the month soaking up the last of the British rays, getting rather overly excited at London 2012, and primarily buying too many clothes for a last minute September escape . . . 

At the Office: Office Envy | Jeffers Design Group

Of course, the Jeffers Design Group headquarters in San Francisco is no ordinary office. The extensive 3,800 square foot office, once an industrial unit, is one of the chicest work spaces I've ever laid eyes on. Through his design prowess, Jeffers has taken what was once a cold space with cinderblock walls and concrete floors & transformed it into a glamorous workspace bathed in hues of orange, coral and camel. The end result is both functional and inspiring.
