A/W season essentials, Part 2: sheer maxi's







The sheer trend is following on from the back of summer and making its way into the fash pack's Winter wardrobe.

We think it's a no-brainer...just add a wedge or boot for serious super stylin'. We love Piper Lane's double tank maxi, the mustard is an instant wardrobe update and is the perfect hue this season. Add a leather jacket for extra edge. The allure maxi skirt is the definition of versatile. Tuck in a loose tee or tank and toughen up with a pair of con's.

The best part? Both are lined to mid-thigh, so there's no need to go on a never-ending hunt for the right slip to pair them with!

Get on board the sheer train! I mean if RZ is sporting one, it's gotta be a MAJ trend, right?

A/W season essentials, Part 1: denim skinnies







The cooler weather is setting in, and we're dreaming of wool layers, belted cardi's, effortless leather jackets and everything warm in between. Paying homage to all the chic Parisian street style snaps we've been seeing recently,  we'll be bringing you a 5-part series featuring our fave Autumn/Winter essentials.

Up first - Part 1: the denim skinny.

There truly is nothing more versatile or on higher-rotation (at least in our wardrobe...) than our denim skinny jeans. They hit the ankle beautifully and the art of the skinny jean means it can be effortlessly tucked into a biker or ankle boot but looks just as chic teamed with a pointed heel or ballet flat. We opt for a darker blue denim like the luxe blue Twiggy from James Jeans. Because it is a darker denim, it is more easily dressed up or down than its lighter denim counter-part.

We're also loving this edgy grey hue for something a little different. It looks so on-trend with the rich palette of  maroon and saffron this season.

Now all we need is a plane ticket to Paree...
