H&M by Britt Sully

Sucker for messy blonde hair and a bleached brow as ever.  Shoots like these that look so 'undone' and yet so perfect at the same time are my favourite.  This one I felt was a bit different from the norm with the addition of some more formal pieces like the tux jacket, clean metallic jewellery and the charcoal backdrop offset against the more rugged textures of Leila's hair, denim shirt and battered boots; so beautiful.

Rip It Up

Distressed denim; not exactly revolutionary on the fashion front but there does seem to be a fine art to getting those rips just right. Two tears right across the knees looks en point and gives an instant update to a pair of skinnies.

I tried on a couple of pairs in Topshop such as the Black Rip Jamie Jeans but the rips sat too high on my legs and were nowhere near rustic looking enough for my tastes.  I think the key to the perfect pair lies in some careful DIYing and gentle distressing by hand to achieve the perfect 'worn in' look and a pair Kurt would be proud of.

Cowgirls Don't Cry

Supermuse Lookbook- 'Cowgirls Don't Cry'

 Loving everything from the girls over at Supermuse and in particular this latest lookbook from them, 'Cowgirls Don't Cry' that incorporates a Western theme which is just on the right side of sexy and stays true to the brand's cool aesthetic.

 If you haven't checked out the site already you really should. There's a great edit from a selection of my favourite brands such as Stylestalker, Three Floor and some amazing pieces from their own label too. They're also having a 30% off sale at the moment... If only they were based in the UK...damn you customs charges!

Red Hot

I've fallen hard for this red hot monotone look. I'm in the midst of trying to weigh up whether wearing it will be worth all the too-easy puns and perhaps peculiar looks that will inevitably go with it. All of the looks below are prime examples of how to do it 'right.

 With a colour themed wedding reception on the horizon of 'red, black and white' I feel like it would be the perfect opportunity to rock that beautiful H&M two piece pyjama-esque suit as worn by Camille. Whether or not I'm brave enough to do so is a different matter...it doesn't help that the boy isn't keen either!

Far from Falling

Sky Ferreira for Saint Laurent Pre-Fall '13 

photographed by Hedi Slimane 

 Sky Ferreira may be known firstly as a popstar but presence in the fashion world only seems to be getting greater as she is chosen as the face of Parisian fashion house Saint Laurent's Pre-Fall campaign.

 The songstress appears in a series of striking images lensed by the brand's own creative director.  Shot in his signature black and white style that showcasing the luxe textures of the collection in leather, lace and chiffon and also provide an interesting contrast to the grungier feel of Sky's hair and makeup.
