There are a few things in my wardrobe that I continue to buy season after season, pieces that are good, timeless basics. One of which is a blue and white stripe shirt and the other is a good pair of blue jeans. They’re two things I wear all the time and find great satisfaction in discovering new versions.

The Second Female stripe shirt in the outfit above has a pale blue stripe and is made from a cotton-linen textured fabric which holds its shape. It’s such a classic and could be worn in so many ways. One of my favourite ways is with a pair of blue jeans, and my current favourite jeans are these Samsøe & Samsøe straight-leg mid-rise ones. I love the fit, the straight cut with a slight taper and the little bit of distressing below the knee.

For LFW Day 3 this season I wore a full look from La Redoute, whilst I took over their Instagram for the day (I hope you followed along). I have always loved French women’s style, they always look effortlessly stylish and I’ve tried my best to do the same for this look. I wore a khaki tailored coat from from La Redoute’s recent collaboration with luxury French fashion house, Carven. Evoking a little of my favourite French designer Isabel Marant, I chose a cream boho blouse with a high ruffle collar, delicate embroidery and wide bell sleeves. The flatforms were a great decision for Fashion Week, they gave me a few essential centimetres whilst also being very comfortable. I actually ended up wearing them a couple of times during LFW.

I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting as regularly as usual. I’ve been on two trips, had London Fashion Week (LFW) and a broken hard-drive, all in the space of a month. I do, however, have lots of content to share with you.

First up is my outfit for LFW Day 1, I went for an almost all navy look with a touch of nude. I know from experience that this is not the time to start embracing 10 cm high heels so I wore these cool flatforms from French brand La Redoute. The first day of LFW is always the busiest one for me so I needed a pair of shoes that would still be comfortable whilst I dashed around Soho.

It was not the warmest of days so I opted for a warm high-neck sweater from Danish favourite Samsøe & Samsøe and some incredible pleated, cropped trousers from Maison Scotch. They remind me of the Yohji Yamamoto ones that Herb Ritts photographed David Bowie wearing back in the 80s.
