Now that winter has well and truly arrived I’ve been busy planning what to add to my winter wardrobe. I’ve taken stock of my key staples and pinpointed the gaps that I need to update with new season pieces. I’m finding myself gravitating towards a lot of colour in an effort to inject a bit of energy into my looks. This time of year is traditionally about subdued hues and this year I wanted to shake things up and adopt a slightly more bolder colour palette. Here are a few things currently on my wish list—I’m all about striking shades, luxe fabrics and the odd piece that’s made to stand out…
Balenciaga cable knit sweater
How beautiful is this burgundy colour? I can’t resist a cosy knit to snuggle into when it’s cold.
Chinti & Parker crochet trim jumper
I like the red and pink trim on this neutral jumper —it gives it a playful touch.
Prada striped ribbed knit midi skirt
I’m a fan of the midi skirt because it always looks polished. You can’t go wrong with a red and white stripe for a for a bold, yet classic statement piece.
The Row silk and cashmere top
This would be a definite splurge but the colour and the drape is amazing—plus no doubt silk and cashmere would feel so beautifully luxurious.
Fendi embroidered cashmere sweater
Logo tees were huge in spring/summer so it’s no surprise that the trend has made its way onto winter sweaters. I really love the sweet font and the monochrome colour palette.
Saint Laurent high waisted boyfriend jeans
I’m always in jeans so I don’t mind investing in a pair that I know I’ll wear to death. Cost per wear and all that. This would be perfect worn with sneakers and any of the above sweaters on the weekend.
Miu Miu embroidered raffia shoulder bag
It’s always nice to embrace natural textures when it comes to accessories. The raffia bag would make a nice finishing touch to an evening look.
Jil Sander floral brocade pumps
They’re quite the statement shoe, I know, but if you can’t have fun with your shoes then when can you?
Dolce & Gabbana enamel gold plated earrings
Any look can become special with the addition of a pair of standout earrings. These beauties would add a bold touch to a day or night ensemble and take it next-level.
