Fresh, crisp, cool and clean– everything I am craving in this heated summer is answered by the pleasant chimes of white-on-white dressing. Love in every sense.

Ever since I saw these pictures of ultra babes Alexa Chung and Rumi (fashiontoast) wearing head to toe burgundy I have been rather infatuated with the shade. 

This A. Wang leather skirt is at the centre of my infatuation...in all its über simple, leathery glory. I can just imagine the softness of the leather.

resort '13 wrap up, part #2

in continuation of my last 'wrap up'...

resort is fast becoming my favourite collection of shows– bypassing the likes of fall and spring with such gusto. i feel that designers are really out-doing themselves this year, and are giving us collections which are on par with the main season releases. I find myself even more excited, enthralled and inspired by the resort collections of some houses, than their fall/spring ensembles.
