Good afternoon, Thursday...been a long week and it's all kinda humid outside today but oh well. Thank goodness it's not freezing, raining, or Lord knows what else. It's almost the end of the week and I'm looking forward to hanging with my fam this weekend and watching my niece go to her senior prom...ah the time goes fast, non?
But I digress because I wanna inspire you with some great looking gear for a quick city jaunt- it could of course work in most fashion capitals like New York or Paris, but right now my mind's on London, and frankly, it usually is. I adore beyond belief London's whole vibe. The eccentricity, the humor, the sometimes veddy veddy proper thing- I'm in. All kinds of in. And what's more is London is a city bursting at the seams with a rock and roll aesthetic that will never leave me tired. I know it's only rock and roll but I LOVE it. Yes I do.
So I've channeled Kate Moss- one of my fav style icons and requisite gorgeous and cooler than cool Brit. What I love about Kate's style besides its obvious awesomeness is that she always looks cool no matter what- always looks right for a lunch somewhere or an impromptu tabletop dance party somewhere chic. It's just never off and never overly fussy but always just completely fabulous. My whole dream wardrobe for a long weekend in London would be a bit of tomboy, a bit of rock and roll, and a bit of sexytown a la the cute black dresses below and anything SHORT- after all, London is the birthplace of the miniskirt so how can you not pay a bit of homage? Pair with a brogue if you're feeling too tarty and to tone it down- the Church's pair below are a London tradition, but there's cheaper options from the likes of Steve Madden all over the place so you'll be stylin' and profilin' in no time.
Also I love the idea of a striped jean, moto jacket, floral print button down, and some high tops or sandals for that cool girl vibe. The below seem a bit, hmm, excessive for a long weekend but it's just an overview of what's possible, kids. After all, I like to dream big. Pick and choose away- and since we're dreaming big, the items below are hyper spendy, but can easily be attainable on the High Street...oh and you may note I did not plan on packing an umbrella, even though I'm planning a trip to sunny London. I'd much prefer to buy one there- perfect little gift for oneself in a town well sorted with such items. Cause that's what's up this London calling kind of Thursday in the 212. I'm so bored with the USA, but what can I do? XO
INSPIRATION: KATE MOSS- This needs no description. She's the queen of cool and is the poster child for UK style.
