Week in Detail #4

Wearing - Gap jacket, Levi's marl red sweatshirt c/o Zalando, Libertine Libertine t-shirt, Levi's Commuter 511, 
Clarks Desert Trek, Albam tote bag

Here's a few details of one of my outfits from last week. Zalando offered to send me a piece from their currently Levi's stock a few weeks back, I chose this marl red sweatshirt (now in the sale, they have a nice Converse range too.) and it's quickly turned into a early morning lifesaver. Having three jobs has its issue, hours are sporadic, it's difficult to plan anything, it's hard to tell if I'm coming or going. I need reliable garb which I know will look good no matter what else I wear, sweatshirts and lamsbwool jumpers seem to fit this bill perfectly. I reckon Hollie is sick of the thing already, it's got that nice lived-in feel after only a couple of washes. Its super soft fleece lining is what you want at this time of year, double thumbs up.

Above are a couple of other recently additions, I picked up the Albam tote bag on my recent trip around Covent Garden and the jacket is another strong sale find in Gap. I didn't realise when I was buying it but the jacket is fully water-resistant, which has been coming in handy with all the cycling that I'm doing at the moment (post on the bike coming on soon). Time to catch up with all your blog, I've got behind big time.

So who said colour was dead this Winter?

Libertine Libertine S/S 2012

Bosh! Every post at the moment seems to involve some mention of colour, and today's post is no exception. Libertine Libertine's S/S '12 lookbook demands a bit of attention. Each piece in the collection look wearable while at the same time manages to be pretty exciting too. The collection is enhanced with the coolest bit of direction I've seen in a while, with the excellent use colour coordination. It actually reminds me a bit of my final campaign for uni, I can't remember if I ever share those images with you?

I've never been one for full tonal outfits (other than navy), it's not that I don't like it but it's just something I've not tried since out the all black days about 5 years ago. I've definitely been inspired by Libertine Libertine's lookbook, so this is what I will be trying out over the next week. 

Which colour should I go for? I see the tonal look all over the internet but not so much the brighter colours in real life. Has anyone experimented with it?
