checkmate

CHECK. Fell in love with this Céline inspired jacket the second it popped up on Zaras website and when the degrees dropped for two glorious days last week I just had to wear it. Now the weather is back to its usual scorching hot self and all I can do is daydream about brisk fall days to come, and boy am I dreaming!

JACKET Zara. SHIRT Cloth&Stone (here). JEANS J Brand (here). BAG Proenza Schouler (here). WATCH Nixon (here). FLATS Zara.

Obsessed with the coat, can’t wait to see the celine pieces out soon, the show was so good. Btw I just posted my newly obtained turquoise velvet tweed CHANEL BOY BAG from the paris-edinburgh collection (in celebration of the royal baby boy?), please give me your feedback on this new investment piece!!
