PicTunic

I'm not ready to give up on the Summer yet. I'm one of those sad souls marching on stubbornly with the tight-free look, choosing instead to flaunt the natural pattern of my chicken-skin in the now so frosty mornings. Subtle reminders of the August sunshine are still fresh in my mind, and I want to hold on to that thought for just a little bit longer (thank you very much!) Rachel Zoe's Autumn/Winter take on the tunic injects the lightness of the brighter seasons into my steadily thickening wardrobe, and is the perfect smart-casual balance for a Friday. And for a more dressed-up affair, with a bit of an edge, here's a sneak peak of Zoe's SS15 collection - fresh off the catwalk today.

Do the funky monk

I am a massive fan of the new wave of Monk shoes that have swept through London. Traditionally a moderately formal shoe, they strike the perfect balance between smart in form and touch, and casual in detailing. The perforated white calf skin on this pair of Russell and Bromleys against the sleek sole and double gold buckles are a striking combination of a lightly eclectic feminine twist on a typically androgynous shoe. Perfect for a Dress down Friday followed by a night on the town.
