I've been playing around with my Instagram lately to make something more interesting and visually cohesive and engaging, which led to my doing blocks of colour. While this is limiting and a pain in the butt sometimes, it challenged me, got my creative juices flowing again and I shot the bulk of my favourite images of the year in the past few weeks. I particularly hit my stride with the images I recently shot in black and white and, somehow, started to dress in the same way I was picturing things. This invariably meant I ended up with lots of cool and striking outfit shots and self-portraits that I didn't have anything to do with as I don't like flooding my Instagram with just images of myself.
Ergo, this black and white lookbook with outfit photos as well as images I drew inspiration from at the time. Think minimal colour, silhouettes, graphics and prints doing the talking, sleek, boyish vibes and a mixture of references from Christian Slater in Heathers to hiphop meets goth.

Going for gold.
Not really sure what inspired this look today but the idea to cut the sides of my top came from a top in The Kooples' current Sport collection. This look is more about the jewellery than anything else. The gold collar and dangling earrings made clinky sounds as I walked so even if you didn't see them at first, they demanded attention. Not usually a major accessories person but I liked the juxtaposition of a relatively simple outfit with over-the-top, glamorous jewellery. Practical outfit for scouting out Debs dresses and seeing what shops had to offer with my little sister today (they grow up so fast, it's terrifying!) and the jingling made me very easy to find in shops...
