Lady Queen + striped shorts
Perfect weekend wear (particularly if you live in the UK where it is sort of sunny, then cloudy, then rainy, then sort of sunny again. It is exhausting just trying to figure out how many layers are needed for the day ahead! I went to the final of the Equestrian eventing the other day and it poured with rain on the way there. Never have I been so glad of my plastic "poncho". Highly unattractive but entirely useful when it rains.)
Recreate her look (kind of):
Leather jacket (versatile + excellent protection from the elements): Topshop traditional leather jacket, 3.1 Phillip Lim leather jacket, T by Alexander Wang paneled leather jacket
Shorts: Haute Hippie drawstring shorts, Rebecca Minkoff printed shorts, Thakoon Addition sport shorts, To Love Kuvaa printed shorts,Topshop animal print shorts
Wedges: Luxury Rebel Dani colourblock wedges, ASOS Harp wedges, See by Chloe wedges
Fluro green Cambridge satchel
Nixon The Time Teller watch or Casio blue watch (I haven't bothered to wear a watch for a few years instead relying on my iPhone. Um, unfortunately my iPhone died (not the battery) for a few hours in Paris during couture. Oh my goodness, the panic! I couldn't remember anyone's telephone number, I had no way to tell the time, no map! I didn't realise how much I rely on my phone until then. I think I will start wearing my watch again, especially when travelling. Oh and if your iPhone won't work, try doing a hard reset — holding down both buttons for ages. Works a treat :)
