Did you remember last time I featured grey sweatshirt? Yes, the temperature was still high then, but I just couldn’t wait to wear it. If striped tees are my spring/summer staple (you saw it a lot in my blog), then grey sweatshirts are definitely my fall/winter must-haves.
I’m always in the market for high quality and great tailored basics, like blazer, white shirt, trench coat, black skinny jeans, leather work bag… They are the foundation of my wardrobe and I’m willing to pay for the best quality I can afford.
So I was so excited when I scored this EQUIPMENT Signature Blouse at half the price via Moda Operandi. I have shopped at this site since last year. They have great deals on the latest runway looks and awesome custom service.
This shirt has everything I wanted: 100% silk, cute front pockets, casual vibe and perfect size. I cannot wait to pair it with the red Rag & Bone high waist skinny jeans that I pre-ordered several months ago. Both of them will arrive in July. I will definitely share them with you.
Reminded by my newest shirt, I decided to do this featured post as part of my “white essential pieces” series. (Check other related posts here and here.)
It’s Audrey Hepburn who made me fell in love with white shirts. Who doesn’t like the photo below? Of course <Mad Men> helps a lot too (you know what I mean). Menswear can always give women a sexy twist, let alone the crisp fresh color.
What is Bohemian Romance+Cowgirl Chicness+Parisian Elegance? For me, the answer is Isabel Marant!
People say she is the “French Alexander Wang”. For me, her collections are my “Casual Chanel”: if at formal and elegant side, Chanel tweed suits are my ultimate choices, then at casual and relax side, I will go with Isabel Marant. Her collections are fashionable yet practical, feminine yet edgy, casual yet chic.
They are great transitional pieces to carry us between seasons; the nude color can elongate our legs; the comfy design is perfect for outdoor activities; the chic style can bring us from day to night.
Tons of celebrities chose Isabel Marant’s ankle boots. Among them, I especially appreciate the ways Miranda Kerr styles hers. Below are ways she wore them with denim pieces from jacket to mini skirt:
