As much as I've been swaying toward more edgy pieces as of late (see here and here), it just doesn't feel quite right, for my own personal style, to go all out with that aesthetic. To counter the boyish feel of leather and army green, I love the idea of pairing it with the girliest colour I can imagine: blush pink. This blouse is a new favourite for that task, with its airy chiffon layers and soft hue... and the patterned collar is an ideal way to tie the casual look together.Wearing: YesStyle …

Double Studded
So I may be a little late on the studded shoe bandwagon, but these two pairs of Valentino-inspired beauties took my breath away over the weekend, causing me to do a bit of unexpected damage. I'm probably done with my shoe-buying for the season now, but I'm so excited to wear them: they both fit into the slightly edgier aesthetic that I've been drawn to lately, and they'll be great at adding subtle detail to everyday looks. They are also versatile enough to go with pretty much everything, so …
Autumn Showers
When the city is wet and hair is subsequently frizzy, as it has been for weeks now, I would really much rather spend a free day in bed than be out and about braving the deluge.

Of course, a pretty umbrella is also beneficial, and this YSL one …
Check, Please
I can't really think of better fall patterns than plaid and tartan, and had been in search for some good pieces to add to my closet for some time. These Topshop trousers, found during last Wednesday's pre-shop, were just what I had been looking for. And since the arrival of the print into my closet was a long time coming, I couldn't help but go a little overboard with the pattern mixing and double up on the motif using one of the coziest scarves I own. photos by Alicia Wearing: Topshop pants …
VIDEO: A Peek into my Closet!
Recently, I was given the unique opportunity to walk in a fashion show at a home & design show. As part of the feature, a crew came to film my closet, and asked me to share about my blog and personal style as well. The show was split into multiple categories (e.g. glam, cocktail etc.) and I was assigned "corporate". I don't actually work in a corporate environment, but it was fun to dream up what I would wear if I did! Here's the video that was produced! p.s. It's always a little bit …
