Battle Born

I've only recently become aware of terrific Australian brand Cameo The Label and I have very quickly become a huge fan. Launched in 2010, the brand now has a cult following all over the world. Cameo Designers Kathryn Forth and Siham Elmawey combine their love of drawing & dressmaking and visual art is always at the forefront of their minds as they create the label's bold, polished collections.

Their 'Battle Born' skirt  has already achieved iconic status in the fashion world; it is a cool, modern take on the classic denim skirt. Featuring a mid-high rise with uneven panels, made from durable denim with a vintage finish, it is one of those wonderful pieces I know will be wearing forever.

I styled it with a great white t-shirt I bought online last Summer from Donna Ida. The cut-out shoulder detail and the glimpse of a tanned shoulder takes the outfit from casual to just a little bit sexy! It's the perfect tee and goes with every pair of shorts, jeans, trousers and skirt that I own. I wear it a lot!

I finished my look off with a red satchel from The Cambridge Satchel Co and the coolest shoes on the planet, the studded 'Pigalle' pumps by shoe God Christian Louboutin.

La Luna

In ancient Roman religion and myth, the Goddess Luna is the divine embodiment of the Moon. Such a magical name is quite perfect for this dreamy, romantical piece from Winter Kate's beautiful S/S13 collection.

The Luna bed jacket, in a delicate blue snakeskin print, is 100% silk and features an open front with draping detail, a contrast lemon print back panel, an asymmetric hem and wide dolman sleeves. It represents the Winter Kate aesthetic perfectly.

Paired with denim shorts, a simple white tee and casual shoe boots, this is the kind of modern Boho outfit I live in throughout the Summer.

Quick As A Cat

A Yo! Sushi restaurant has just opened near where I live; I cannot even tell you how happy this makes me as I LOVE sushi and up to now Hubby & I have had to travel quite a distance to get to our nearest Sushi restaurant! This fact, combined with the elusive British Summer sun making a very welcome appearance, made for a fantastic night out with lovely friends!

For our first evening at our new local Yo! Sushi I went for a comfortable, simple Summer look. I wore a fantastic pair of Charley 5.0 leopard print denim running style shorts. I bought these in two different sizes (from The Raw Denim Bar) as they can be styled completely differently depending on the fit. 

I paired them with a very cool Zoe Tees vintage t-shirt in ivory from Donna Ida, who have the best selection of t-shirts you'll ever find under one roof. I love the sexy cut out detail on the shoulder of this great tee, it makes a very casual piece feel a little bit more glamorous. To add a slightly more dressed up feel I added my favourite studded Christian Louboutin shoes.

I then proceeded to eat my body weight in sushi (thank goodness for an elasticated waistband!) and a top night was had by all!
