Isabel Marant sweater
Eugenia Kim hat
Stella Mccartney pants
Gianvito Rossi boots
Chloe bag


H&M sweater
Brixton hat
Zara pants
Asos boots
Asos bag

This season the sweater of my dreams is the Isabel Marant wool turtleneck. Perfectly cozy and perfectly minimal. I'd style it with some crop flares and suede boots for a touch of mod. Can't forget about the newsboy cap, so on trend this winter! As with everything, you can totally get the look without breaking the bank. Above I've included links for both versions of the same outfit. Happy shopping!

Friday, August 24, 2012 6 comments

equipment blouse ($210), carven leather skirt ($980), acne leather jacket ($1,200), j.w.anderson quilted jacket ($2,020),
christian louboutin patent loafers ($1,295), proenza schouler PS11 ($1,950)



army green blouse ($32), OL mini skirt ($37), army green jacket ($64), black drawstring boyfriend coat ($56),
rivet loafers ($78), black cross body bag ($71)
