NEWYORK. As part of my collaboration with mytheresa.com I’m alo doing guest edit on their site featuring some of my favorite pieces for fashion week (check it out here). This stunning Stella McCartney coat was on top of the list and you have no idea how much it hurt to send it back after the shoot. It’s quite possibly the perfect piece for spring!! And speaking of perfect pieces, there’s still one day left to enter the fashionsquad x mytheresa giveaway where you can win the amazing Alexander Wang bag from this post, go, go, go!

STELLA MCCARTNEY coat. ALEXANDER WANG bag. TOPSHOP jeans. ACNE shoes. CÉLINE sunglasses. HERMÈS bracelet
