Monday?Mondaze…

Happy Monday! When I woke up this morning the sun was actually shining, which is a first in a long time. False promise or not, I’m hoping that the arrival of spring is imminent, like 20 days or less kind of vibe. It’s also the beginning of fashion month this week, which means a lot of new collections, trends, new designers at the helms of labels and countless of inspiration through all the street style! Are you excited?

This Past Week

Fashion Blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker shares her Monday Brief with all things new this week

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the new Furla store opening on Brompton Road! The event was held by Grazia and Furla together and really was a beautiful night! I got to sport this adorable little Furla bag to the event and will be posting more about it on here very soon! I also tried an amazing new website this week called Fucina! It’s Italian food and their truffle pizza is worth every drop of oil and calorie consumed….Trust me, for me to say that, it must be good. How can anyone say no to Truffle pizza?

This Upcoming Week

With the start of fashion month this week, I cannot wait to see all the amazing new collections that are about to hit the runway! I always have a few designers that I am always the most excited about every season! For NYFW I have to say I am most excited about Cinq à Sept, Jonathan Simkhai, Zimmerman and Thakoon just to name a few! Do you have any favourites?

New In This Week

New In this week – all the things I cannot wait to try and use….

I am obsessed with these jeans that I saw at Paige – I mulled over buying them for a while but I have to say I couldn’t be happier with them! Can’t wait to style them for you guys (Plus star are a major micro trend right now so stay tuned for my feature on that!)

I am also loving these Helen Moore faux fur clip ons for your shoes which you would have spotted on my Instagram as well!

Lastly, my love of pink continues to grow with this beautiful little summer top from Sandro – perfect for the coming warm months! I feel like they really match my mood for the month mooodbard right?

Khaki is your new neutral this year…

As many of you know, I have been away on holiday in Mumbai and recently arrived back to London. Although it’s been cold, it’s been rainy, it’s been dark.. it’s been great to be back! I’m currently fighting off the sniffles and working while laying on my couch with the softest blanket in the history of blankets (No lie.. I don’t joke about softness..) but I am still super excited to bring you this look. Trust me on this one, Khaki is your new favourite neutral.

I have always had a soft spot for the colour… there was something about it that I loved when my mum wore her khaki trousers when I was younger, and there was something about it when I grabbed this amazing pair of trousers from Topshop. The colour literally goes with everything, and there is no denying that the fit of these trousers makes it even better. These are the pants (or super similar ones right here) to rock in 2017, with any colour you want! For the winter months, it goes perfectly with black grey and even animal print (Yes your leopard print will work too!) but for the summer and the spring, try it with orange or baby pink – some of my favourite colour combos!

Layering was not something I was doing much of in Mumbai, considering the weather there was rarely below 25 degrees C (Yes… the joy of having summer all year round there!) but it was something I was more than excited to delve back into upon my return, especially since there is really no other way to tackle the bitter cold of Jan/Feb in London. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you’ll know I have a love for textures, and especially the combinations you can create to really add a touch of draammaaa to your outfit.

With that same spirit, it felt right to mix and match these two textured black sweaters. One, a high ruffle neck sleeveless sweater with a knit texture, and the other, a button down round neck sweater with a more detailed texture – of course they go together perfectly. The key is to not be afraid to experiment, you never know what you’re going to end up with!

The coat has such a gorgeous fit – it isn’t too long, it isn’t too fit, it’s just right and it’s even reversible so it keeps me warm in more than one colour! I actually got this coat quite recently but this is the first time I’m wearing it! What do you guys think?

In other news, I can’t believe it’s ONLY Tuesday… but I’m hoping that I feel better ASAP so that I can head to the Pip & Nut Breakfast tomorrow and to the Hush new season preview! Fingers crossed for me guys! Anyways, recreate this look I’m wearing with these pieces below:
