NOIR ET BLANC

I am a creature of habit. Black and white is not only my trademark look, 

it's an extension of my personality (anybody who knows me will agree). 

However, after attending a "colourful" fundraiser ball last weekend, 

I've realised injecting a bit o' colour mightn't be such a bad thing... 

Hmmm.. To be cont.

NB: I wore a super-bright, multi coloured, (it gets better) floral, strapless dress. 

I may be a creature of habit, but I also don't ever do things by halves.

USUAL SUSPECTS

It is imperative to find you're signature style, but more importantly, stick to it. This is something I've come to learn from my time studying fashion, but it applies to all aspects of life. As I approach my quarter-of-a-century birthday and the end of my studies, I'm finding that knowing myself and my aesthetic is so incredibly beneficial. 

For me, its the usual suspects; black leather, white shirts, stripey tanks, ankle boots, 

gold bling, worn-in denim and a dash of leopard. Thats what I feel best in and what works for me. It's so easy to be misguided, falling for fads and the latest trends. But at the end of the day, true style is knowing what suits you and makes you feel the most "you". 

LESS IS MORE

If I was asked to describe my style / philosophy / mantra / life motto, it would be this. 

Less is More

The greatest advice I've ever been given is to streamline your life and cull the crap. Get rid of the things you don't need or use anymore. Sometimes that's as simple as cleaning out your wardrobe. 

Hope everybody's having a lovely week.
