Atea SS 14

As soon as Atea's SS 14 look book landed in my inbox, I knew I had to share it with you guys. 

You can probably tell from the images that the brand is all about elevated basics and luxury essentials. Clean, simple and fuss-free, this is understated dressing at its best. I'm especially loving the combination of mannish tailoring with slinky, feminine camisoles - something to recreate just as soon as lightweight layers don't need to be concealed under some sort of down-filled duvet coat.

Etoile Isabel Marant A/W 2013

Anyone else find the emergence of Autumn Winter campaigns and editorials in the middle of high summer a little depressing? Obviously this is nothing new, but maybe this year it feels all the more disarming what with being in the tail-end of a heat wave and all. Leaves you feeling nostalgic for the summer you're right in the thick of.

Nevertheless, there's no denying how great some of the new campaigns are, Proenza Schouler, J.W.Anderson, Rag and Bone and Prada to name just a few favourites. And while Isabel Marant's campaigns tend to follow a tried-and-tested formula, they never fail to win me over, always perfecting that unique breed of classic girlish nonchalance that we all want a piece of and the A/W 2013 Etoile lookbook is no exception.

Iro S/S 2013

It might not be that groundbreaking or revelatory, but boy is it cool. 

Totally wearable with just enough going on in each look to keep you interested, the carefully considered, seemingly thrown-together styling of Iro's S/S 2013 look book is pretty close to perfect. It's also sneakily clever in that you can't really imagine having one piece from a look without all the others. Which could be trouble.
