Camel Affair

Wearing: Zara coat, T by Alexander Wang- sold out, similar (Friday's look), Club Monaco leggings (from last year, but just bought these), Stan Smith sneakers, Jules Smith choker (favorite piece)

Shh!! I'm cheating on gray with camel. Cue a color war, and I'm going neutral.

I couldn't help myself with the puns, guyysss...

Putting my hysterically funny self aside, this outfit is one of the two assembles I tend to wear the most. Well, I wouldn't necessarily count my XL sweatshirt and sailing sweats a "fashion forward" assemble, but just role with me here. The awkward limbo period between seasons (side note: it was snowing yesterday, hi winter) calls for formulaic dressing of t-shirts and basics; hence here.

High Street Friday

Wearing: Zara jumpsuit, New Balance sneakers, Saint Laurent bag, J.Crew belt (25% off!)

When the concept of style staples comes up, it sometimes brings along a hefty price tag because of a common misconception of staples = inve$tment. Whilst this does apply to life's finer goods (i.e. bags, shoes), high street stops like Zara or Topshop offer killer pieces to take you from season to season without a glitch. Let us not forget my Zara playsuit- which has gotten more wear than it's own good- and for when I care for something somewhat similar (remember, keep it spicy), this black jumpsuit wins the Zara draw. The four lettered Spaniard is the quite guilty one for my overflowing wardrobe. 

And on the bottom half of the my sartorial spectrum, if you haven't figured it out already, my preferred shoe of choice is a sneaker.... erm #sneakerhead? Introducing my latest catch a la New Balance.

Schooled

 Wearing: Jacquemus t-shirt, Nike sneakers, J.Crew skirt, Marc by Marc sunglasses, 

Wanderlust & Co bracelets and rings, Hermes scarf

To start this monday off on the proper foot, I would like to state that indeed, school and street style have taught me one thing.

 That the idea of wearing your trainers with anything other than athletic wear seems far out and would end up as one of Glamour's Don'ts. In the midst of my classes and pursuing Tommy and other camera wielded superstars, the combination of sneakers with a skirt, then dressed back down with your best t-shirt, creates that effortless look we all long for the minute we step into our closet. Plus, quirkier details like a silk scarf bring in color and some details. You see, it is a complex fashion formula of wearing sneakers and avoiding "Tacky Tally" territory. In short:

Sneakers will forever and always be your best friend. 

And in this case, if it cross your mind that I'm missing school, you've thought wrong (long live summer!). Yet, ironically, I am learning math navigation for sailing as I type.

School (plus, style.com) never leaves you.

Le Sportif

Wearing: French Connection sweater c/o, Zara shorts- in stores, Stan Smith sneakers, Ray-Ban shades

Perhaps it's the wild World Cup fever or the fact that I am dressing in some sporting attire 70% percent of the time, but my true Sporty Spice vibes (check out that 90s hair flip at its finest) are showing their about face. Kudos to the Stan Smith for winning my undying attention even during sandal weather. Plus my favorite cricket sweater- a flashback to sweater stories- is the key item for breezy summer nights. It's a win win for all. 

Sporty Sloane? You bet.

Sneaks | Stan Smiths

Stan Smith sneakers, Current/Elliott denim shirt, Kate Moss x Topshop shorts, Vita Fede bracelets

My sneaker collection was in need of major refreshing and what better than the number one kick on the list- Stan?! In a sea of Converse and Supergas, Stan is here to shake things up. Here's how I'll be sporting my latest pair once they make their way to me- silk shorts and a denim button down. A little heavy metal is also in need, no doubt.

It took me way too long to hop on the Stan Smith bandwagon. I've been eyeing the pair forever and finally are bringing them into my sneakerhead life. Because honestly, do I ever wear heels anymore?
