How to Wear a Denim Jacket

The beauty of a denim jacket or shirt is that it will retain its integrity for years to come. You are more likely to get bored of wearing it before it needs throwing away – although given its timeless look, we’re sure the former won’t happen. Although it seems as American as apple pie, denim actually has its origins in Renaissance Europe, although where specifically is unclear. Nimes seems a good bet as it explains the term ‘denim’ – derived from ‘de Nimes’ or ‘from Nimes.’


The denim jacket started as a way of re-purposing old scraps from jean manufacturing, and from these casual beginnings, we have a very casual item. However, the denim jacket is a staple piece that has more to offer than casual wear. Have a go at wearing your denim jacket under a black overcoat for a smarter twist for example. Let’s start off with a quick and easy tutorial on some introductory styling options.



It’s true that the denim jacket does fall in and out of favour. What was in during the 90s felt a bit unloved at the start of the millennium. Nonetheless, the casual number has certainly made quite a comeback – pretty much screaming East London cool casual. Wearing a nice cable knit jumper underneath your jacket and pair of tan ankle boots will give a touch of urban to a Western classic.

Vogue Japan April 2015

You know how I was literally just like "Ah, this CR Fashion Book cover is the best thing on the Internet!?" Well, this tops it, guys. I love Barbie. I've loved Barbie forever. Of course, I went through my "I'm too cool for Barbie, bleh" phase, but nostalgia is a bitch. I mean, I may or may not have a Barbie phone case right now. Anyway... Rosie Huntington Whiteley poses as a real life Barbie in Vogue Japan's April issue. In case you couldn't tell by my rant above, I'm kind of incredibly and ridiculously obsessed with it. Styled by Anna Dello Russo, I seriously can't stop staring. I wonder if my landlord would let me paint all my walls Barbie pink. I should ask him, he's quite reasonable. Plus, Barbie. Duh.
 This is my favorite shot. SO PERFECT.
The kneepads really got me. Ha ha ha.

Vogue March 2015

I haven't been this excited about Vogue in, gosh, I can't even remember how long. But things have changed. This Taylor Swift/Karlie Kloss Vogue cover was rumored for months and has finally become a beautiful reality. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I love Taylor Swift like she was my own sister/best friend/fellow cat lady for life. Or maybe it has to do with the fact that she got a Vogue photoshoot with her best friend. Or maybe it's because Taylor Swift is living my dream and I'm just on the sidelines waiting for her to tap me in. Or maybe it's because my road trips never turn out this picture-esque. (Although, eating Munchies and singing Celiné Dion at the top of your lungs does sound like a perfect Vogue feature.) Or maybe it's all of those things. But either way. I'm kind of obsessed with March's issue. How can you not be?!
 This is my dream day. Dancing and baking cookies? YES PLEASE. Sign me up.
 Taylor's Michael Kors skirt haunts my dreams. I need it in my life/on my body.
This is my favorite shot. LOOK AT THE MOVEMENT OF KARLIE'S FRINGE. Ugh. My heart.

A Change Of Pace

Hey guys! Happy Mondayyy!

It's an Insta-fact according to me that word play is one of the most fun things on Instagram. 

FRIYAY? Genius. 

Mondaze? I think we can all relate. 

Recently I've been taking things slower, and I am sure some of you have noticed that I have been posting a little less frequently on the blog. It's been around a year since I've been blogging full time, and I've felt the need in recent weeks to take time to stop, reflect and plan. With the year coming to an end, it's felt like a natural time to do this. 

The extra time I am dedicating to research (thank you Kindle app), sleeping, and generally feeding the inspiration part of my brain (which y'know, has a filing system and everything), has got me bursting with ideas and plans.

A couple of weeks ago, Oli and I travelled to Swanage with some friends for the weekend. The change of scene was just what we needed to recharge our batteries. 48 hours of laughter, long walks and many many "oh my gawwwd do you remember when . . . " recaps (local cider. Killer.) had us driving home on the Sunday with smiles all round.

In times gone by I wouldn't have allowed myself time to slow down and reflect, but I've come to learn how important it is, both personally and on a business level. I'm embracing the slower pace, and yes, it actually feels really good

I'd love to know if you have any thoughts on changing up the pace? Do you take time to do the same?  And are you looking forward to the New Year too?! 


Love,
