Life isn’t all La La Land as we know (hooray for Emma Stone at the BAFTAs); the sunny yellow, summer dress is all very well but often style is about being stealth-y. The pared-down, easy to wear pieces that dance down the street, everyday. For me, that includes jeans – sometimes blue, sometimes black (these are MiH Phoebe) and shoes I can walk in. The Burberry trench was last seen looking decidedly un-La La Land for the Art of the Trench fandango, (me standing in the gutter, looking miserable on Regent Street). Anyhow, moving on…Here I’ve whooped it up with a Jo Gordon scarf (no longer available but have a look online for the last days of Jo’s SALE). Hitting the Stealth Style spot this week, Raf Simon’s first collection for Calvin Klein:
