It's A Cover Up

Hi all,

 It's A Cover Up

As the cold weather starts to kick in it's the outer layers that become the most important. Putting on a great jacket or cardigan can simply point your outfit in the right direction with that one cleverly chosen piece. After all, The iconic Chanel little black jacket is currently being celebrated with an exhibition and book. By all accounts the classic cover up has never been more popular so we thought why not pay homage with our own gorgeous three picks from L'Armoire.

By Malene Birger black and silver 'Erista' jacket

Day 'New Suede' black cardigan

American Vintage charcoal melange zip long jacket

Va Va Velvet

Thinking ahead to the party season, it's always good to invest early in a special piece that can take you to number of occasions without any hassle. Getting ready nice and early saves you that dreaded last minute panic that always sees you settling for something you may never where again. Our fail safe suggestion is this beautiful Day Birger et Mikkelsen aubergine velvet dress. It's sheer black sleeves add a sassy contrast to the velvet making it suitable for Christmas parties, winter weddings or any special night out.

The Great Getaway

Hi all,

It's a special edition this week. If your planning an autumnal mini getaway our essential packing guide will give you the focus you need to put together that effortless 'weekend luxe' capsule wardrobe every girl needs in just FIVE looks. So, you can embrace your comfy casual side and still look pulled together without trying too hard.

Look 1

Travelling and arrival- Keep your outfit comfy in Malene Birger black jodhpur leggings, American Vintage lilac basic, AV chalk chunky knit, AV feather print scarf.

Look 2

Shopping and lunch- Swap knitwear for Day berry stripe layering top and Malene Birger tweed boyfriend blazer. Layer an AV basic underneath if extra warmth is needed.

Look 3

 Evening meal followed by cocktails- Take it up a notch with Day's petrol stretch jersey dress and black classic 'Garbadine' jacket. Finish look off with a splash of print in Malene Birger's emerald snake effect scarf.

  
Look 4

Second day sight seeing- The ultimate daytime luxe, Day's petrol velvet 'Night Racoon' jeans. Keep the outfit looking 'daytime' with a trusty American Vintage long sleeve Jac tee in heather grey and Day raspberry woolly zip cardy. Pull all the colour tones together with AV feather print scarf.

Look 5

The journey home- Switch jeans back to the more forgiving (and comfortable after a weekends indulgence) Malene Birger Black jodhpur leggings and relaxed American Vintage grey jumper dress. Adding the emerald scarf will lift the muted grey and black colour combo.

Or course, footwear is an essential too. To keep things light, we suggest you need just TWO pairs of shoes for your getaway. Yes girls it sounds a little crazy but really, if you get it right that's all you will need! A good ankle boot is a fail safe choice that will go with absolutely everything. If your feeling flush we suggest the Acne 'Pistol' boot. These are the coolest all rounders that you could own. The chunky low heel means they will literally take you through all day from shopping to lunch and sight seeing without punishing your tootsies.

 

  

The second pair simply needs to be a heel for your evening look. Any court, t-bar or shoe boot will do so for our heel of choice we've been lusting after Carven's bordeaux bow pump. We love their easy Parisian elegance that looks just as great for the cocktail hour as they do dress down with jeans.

   See you soon xx
