Sabine.

Olivia's wearing: Bec and Bridge 'Sabine' tank, Zara skort, Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, Nicholas the Label ID necklace, Michael Kors watch, Jeffrey Campbell flats, MAC lipstick. 

The coveted Zara short seems to have become part of a mandatory uniform for fashion bloggers. Up until we first saw Zara's take on this old trend, we associated skorts with our primary school uniform, but Zara has definitely managed to change that perception. They really are the ideal piece as they can be worn casually or easily dressed up for night time. They're also super comfortable to wear and not to mention, extremely versatile. The white skort is next on our list.  

This outfit incorporates a few of my favourite recent purchases: The skort, my Bec and Bridge 'Sabine' tank and the Jeffrey Campbell flats. There is nothing more flattering than a silk top with a high neckline. The cut of the Bec and Bridge 'Sabine' tank is perfect, so perfect that I am considering buying it in another colour, the only problem is which colour to choose. 

After seeing these bejewelled Jeffrey Campbell flats on one of our favourite bloggers, Jessica Stein (Tuula), it was hard not to say yes, despite the fact that we are making a (failed) attempt at saving for yet another overseas trip. These flats remind us of something you would find at markets overseas or on the feet of a gypsy in Paris. We love them so much we couldn't agree on sharing a pair, so you can except to see a lot more of them in future posts.

Stripes and Plaid.

Kate's wearing: Agent Ninety-Nine tee, Zara shirt, J Brand Super Skinny leather pants, 3.1 Phillip Lim mini Pashli bag,
 Cartier Love ring, Michael Kors watch, Isabel Marant sneakers. 

This outfit combines a few of my favourite things to wear during winter - stripes, plaid and leather, but I never would have thought that the three could be worn together. These J Brand leather pants are everything I expected them to be and more, being such a J Brand addict I knew they'd be great, but obviously it's hard to commit to an investment like these. It's safe to say that they've become my favourite thing in my wardrobe and I don't see this changing any time soon. 

Leopard.

Olivia's wearing: Zimmermann tee, Topshop denim jacket, Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf, Sass and Bide leather pants, 
Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, Isabel Marant sneakers, Karen Walker sunglasses, Hermes bracelet, Michael Kors watch.

This Stephen Sprouse x Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf has probably been on the top of my wish list/list of items that I thought I'd never get my hands on for about five years. When it came time to choose my 21st birthday present from my parents, I thought what better time to ask (or beg) for this. I love how timeless it is due to the classic, brown leopard print, yet the pink graffiti gives it a contemporary touch. Although the price tag was something that I had a hard time justifying, once you wrap it around your neck and feel the silky cashmere fabric, your mind is made-up. I love to experiment with prints by mixing them with contrasting patterns, stripes and leopard print is a combination that Kate and I have always loved, yet it's quite hard to find the right items to pair together.

Another item that has been on my wish list for what feels like a century is authentic leather pants. Leather is probably my favourite fabric as it's super comfortable to wear if you get the good stuff and it toughens up any outfit. These Sass and Bide pants were a no-brainer, I have practically lived in them since I brought them home. The quality of them is just amazing, they're as soft as butter and they fit like a glove. If there is anyone who is contemplating whether to upgrade from pleather to leather, the answer is yes, you won't regret it. 

Chill.

Kate's wearing: Zimmermann top, Lioness jumper, Isabel Marant shorts, Cartier Love ring, Nicholas ID necklace, Michael Kors watch, Celine sunglasses, Celine zip wallet, Isabel Marant Dicker boots.

It seems that in the space of a few days the weather completely changed on the coast, it's now too cold to wear anything without sleeves and it would have been difficult to wear these shorts, if not for the big, fluffy jumper. I'll take any excuse I can find to buy a new jumper and a sudden change in weather is the perfect reason in my books.

This Celine wallet and Cartier Love ring were presents that I was lucky enough to receive for my 21st birthday last week. They are both items that I have been dreaming about for some time, as they're simple, classic pieces that I can wear/use everyday. 

Chanel Flats.


Every girl needs a pair of Chanel flats and considering we are turning twenty one in a week, we thought that now would be the perfect time to invest in a pair. There's no better feeling than walking out of a Chanel boutique with a black bag in your hand, it just makes you feel that much more like a lady... and then the guilt sets in. We purchased these to wear to work, as we know that simple, black flats will be easy to wear with anything in our wardrobes. Shoes like these are an investment, not just an impulse buy (although they sort of did feel like one). 

Anytime.

Olivia's wearing: Zimmermann tee, Alice in the Eve shorts, Karen Walker 'Anytime' sunglasses, Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, 
 Michael Kors watch, Diva necklace, Acne Pistol Boots.

I had been searching for a new pair of sunglasses for quite some time and always had the Karen Walker Anytime's on my list. Whilst they are a bit kooky, it's hard to go past the amazing, subtle cat eye style which seems to suit just about any shaped face. As for the rest of this outfit, it's pretty self explanatory -  how can you go wrong with a simple, grey tee and white crochet shorts, paired with black ankle boots? This was the perfect outfit to wear on a lazy Sunday. 

Nautical.

Kate's wearing: Zimmermann striped tee, J Brand denim shorts, Celine sunglasses, Isabel Marant Dicker boots, Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, Michael Kors watch. 

As the saying goes - when you've got a good thing going don't stop, which is something that we tend to abide by when purchasing clothes. The Zimmermann man style tee is the perfect example of this, we now have three of them between us simply because of the amazing cut and the silky fabric. These tees have become a go-to piece for us because they look great with everything and you hardly even notice you're wearing them. Finding a good t-shirt is not easy, so we have Zimmermann to thank for making this task a whole lot easier.
