A/W season essentials, Part 3: the shaggy jacket









Orion Jacket by LILYA available at luxestaples.com


When the temp starts to drop, there's nothing better than rugging up after what seemed like the longest Summer ever!

There's also nothing better than rugging up and looking uber chic whilst doing so. How do you do this, we hear you ask? The answer: with LILYA's orion jacket  - of course.  It is THE antidote for Winter. Layer with skinnies, over cardi's and singlets or pop on a wide-brimmed hat (a la Miss Kristin Cavallari) and ooze effortless style.

We'll be rocking it with our James Jeans twiggy's, an IDS pocket tank and our fave pair of con's. Yay for Winter and rugging up!

New Label Lust: JULES SMITH





Wrapped up jellies

Kiss kiss necklace
Brooklyn bangles
See you at the souk skull cuff in turquoise
See you at the souk skull cuff in purple
We are seriously obsessed with EVERYTHING Jules Smith right now. Think coloured skulls, pops of neon and cute layering pieces.

This gorgeous label has gathered a cult celeb following in the States - Mary Kate Olsen and Anne Hathaway are among their fans - and it's easy to see why!

Founder and lead designer of Jules Smith accessories, Gina Nigrelli-Smith is a lover of all things vintage. A former ballet dancer and fashion editor, Nigrelli-Smith studied at NYU in the heart of Greenwich Village. With the images of fashion icons Kate Moss and Twiggy as her inspiration, Nigrelli-Smith forged a style of her own that is modern, indie and attention grabbing.

We'll be stacking the "see you at the souk skulls" in both purple and turquoise with the brooklyn bangles and wearing the wrapped up neon jellies with...EVERYTHING to add a pop of colour.

Tomorrow we think we'll channel Carrie Bradshaw by layering the kiss kiss necklace with a few longer necklaces. Available in a stunning rose gold. LOVE.

Shop the collection at Luxestaples.com here...and fall in love.
