Sydney Evan Jewelry

I've recently developed a slight obsession with jewelry brand Sydney Evan. But that's hardly surprising given the variety and quality of their aptly-named collections like "wild things", "celestial", "sticks and stones", and "the edge". They also offer custom diamond script necklaces like that worn by Kate Moss on the December cover of British Vogue.

Fur Bobble Accessories

The biggest street wear trend of this winter season has been fur bobble accessories. Although it took a while for this trend to grow on me, I'm now firmly onboard! Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these accessories are beyond comfortable and practical. So with a few chilly winter months left to go, don't be afraid to indulge in a scarf, hat, or perhaps even both.

All About That Plaid

(Revolve)

I'm not usually one for patterns but I'm a sucker for plaid and it seems like this trend has finally caught on. What's more, the variety of color combinations and textures available in this print makes it particularly appealing. For a laid-back daytime look, pair a plaid sweater or shirt with ripped jeans. When it comes to the evening, consider pairing a plaid miniskirt with a crop top or a plaid blouse with miniskirt and over the knee boots.

Kimye x Balmain

I think it's fair to assume that no couple owns more Balmain clothing, footwear, or accessories than the Wests. We've come to expect their appearance at every show with North in tow as well as New York date nights clad in matching Balmain. However, their metaphorical love affair with Oliver Rousteing has now been cemented by the decision to cast them as the faces of the brand's S/S '15 menswear collection. In typical Kimye style, racy and commercial meets high fashion. Personally I'm still unsure of what to make of this campaign but I guess you can't knock them for trying.

The Oversized Scarf

Nothing says winter like an oversized scarf and when it comes to size, bigger is better!

Besides obvious comfort and practicality, they're an easy way to accessorize and add volume to any winter wardrobe. Although I may have just ordered three from ASOS, a girl can never have too many oversized scarves.

Charlotte Simone

Charlotte Simone's range of designer scarves are nothing short of heavenly. She offers a range of hoods and cuffs along with fondly named 'popsicles', 'canes', and 'fruitloops'. Her designs are also available in both ethically-sourced real fur and faux fur as well as in a wide variety of colours. Her scarves are becoming increasingly popular with celebrities and the wider public, with her latest line being modeled by singer Rita Ora. As winter approaches, it's prime time to shell out the bucks and invest in a Charlotte Simone scarf!

Duck & Waffle

I'd been dying to go to Duck & Waffle all summer so on my final day in London last Wednesday, Bisi and I thought it would be a fitting farewell and ventured down to London's East End.
