Tropico II: Studio SS17 in Suburbia

This insanely oversized parka is EVERYTHING. A perfect shade of khaki, it has draw strings that cinches the waist and around the hem, huge patch pockets, and an exaggerated hood that seamlessly connects to the jacket’s opening. The tough utilitarian vibe is feminised with a blush pink lining. Since the jacket is such a statement piece, I decided to wear it on its own; I paired it with high waisted camel trousers and black ankle boots.

Tropico: Zara Studio SS17

A hybrid of a Harrington and a Bomber, this jacket is a bit more than your typical. The details are what makes it exceptional; knit panels on the shoulders, a double zipped closure, cropped back, and draw strings. I styled it monochromatically with a rollneck knit, faux leather biker pants, and ankle boots.

Allover

I feel very juvenile in these dungarees; so carefree,  so playful. I feel like running around in an open, grass flooded field. tumbling over, being coated in dirt, grabbing flowers with my teeth. All while Troye Sivan’s Youth plays in the background.

Militia

I’m in love with this utilitarian bomber jacket. The patch pockets, the harnesses, the hardware. the extensive detail is what I’m living for. Theres even a massive pocket at the back, and I don’t even know what you’re meant to store in it (an emergency kit, maybe?).  I paired the jacket with extremely distressed pieces, and polished it up with Saint Laurent boots.

Textures in Black

 

I’m playing with textures in this monochromatic look: satin bomber, rough denim, and sleek leather. It’s Minimal, yet interesting. I also layered two t-shirts in different lengths for dimension.

Stay True

Something a bit outside of my usual aesthetic, I decided to give the ‘Athleisure’ trend a go. Never do I ever wear sneakers. Ever. Having been so used to sleek leather shoes, I felt a bit clownish wearing these Adidas sneakers.  But hey, they didn’t end up looking terrible.

Another thing I never usually wear is blue, unless of course, its denim; but the faint shade of this hoodie is as close as it gets to being a neutral, so its not really a stretch away from my colour palette. Also, I couldn’t say no to the fluffiness of the brushed interior.

Bieber Bitch

I went to the Purpose World Tour last month, and since then I have been obsessed with this t-shirt. My intoxicated self really enjoyed the show; the EDM-heavy tracks, especially. I was slightly disappointed however that Mr. Bieber did not remove his shirt at all during the concert. I was left quenched and had to instead, replenish myself with more alcoholic beverages throughout the rest of the night.

Also, how insanely distressed are these jeans? The front is barely existent. I love them. they’re extra. Like me.

Them Blacks and Greys

We’re back to basics; black outfits with a touch of cool grey. Monochrome is definitely a go to, its easy and instant chic.
