Ode to Simplicity

Today I want to celebrate simplicity …especially when things in life tend to get too complicated. One of the ultimate symbols of simplicity for me is the black blazer, a staple piece in my wardrobe that never lets me down. Not to mention how much I enjoy wearing head to toe black.

I am wearing a black tee with Mango striped black blazer and leather pants. Boots and bag are both by Mango. You can swap the simple black t-shirt for the Philip Lim jewelled top available here.

To tell you a secret, the best blazers I’ve seen and tried are those designed by Stella McCartney who is very often her own best model (beside Kate Moss). Take a look:

Below are my two favourite all black looks and I will definitely be sporting some of these in 2014.
