Black is the staple colour of many wardrobes. Why not brighten up yours by combining it with white, creating a lighter monochrome effect. I took the trend under my wing & dressed head-to-toe in black & white, however you could add a flash of block colour to yours for a brighter look. I suggest a vibrant fuchsia or pastel pink skirt that peeks through the sheer shirt, keeping the layered effect intact.

Yes, it is that time of the year again...the double jacket layer time. Avoiding the layered bulk is key...let's face it, no one wants to look like the Michelin man! I'm opting for 2 light jackets on top of another, creating warmth & the bonus of 2 looks for inside & outside! Picking out the brightest colour from the speckled digital print, I pulled my suede bolero over my shoulders & added statement drop earring, all complementing my selected colour palette, hinting to our autumnal season surround us. For braving the cold, my leather layers are staples. Switching my metallics from gold to silver, the buckles & studs add interest to my outdoors look, with another print added to the mix through my lightweight scarf.
