  1. Oh yes I do think, gorgeous and I need a pair of gold flats in my life!

    1. I love these Chloe ones though - they strike me as being comfortable as they look like they have a cushioned insole! And I need a new pair of gold flats too - my last pair was bought about 9 years ago!

  2. I love these choices - grey & black always looks good. The shoes are gorgeous, I saw some gold Zara flats in the sale the other day (in my size!) but didn't get them - duh - silly me! x

    1. I know I'm posting grey and black in July but I just love grey so what the heck. The Chloe gold pumps are priced out of my range but they are good inspiration.

  3. Oh my! I have been eyeing that very jumper this week - and cannot condone it for I already own something similar in style and colour, without the collar though! Love these jeans also:)

    1. I know what you mean about the jumper. I was just thinking - wait for Uniqlo to put out their charcoal cashmere crew necks, buy one of those and fashion your own little collar instead. And the colour wash on the jeans is just lovely - I don't like solid black and the grey tones in this pair are just right and help loosen up the whole look

    2. mm, just experienced shrinkage after washing my uniqlo jumpers, even following strict instructions - never again!
      Do love the colour of those jeans, the perfect in-between shade, i know exactly what you mean.

      How's their sizing run?

    3. I haven't bought any of their jeans yet though I've been tempted as I really like the finishes on their denim. I've only bought their chinos and it's either the cut or the sizes run big. I bought my chinos in a waist 27 when I thought I would be 28 (I'm a size 10 usually).

      I think I've been okay with Uniqlo jumpers so far and I've chucked mine in the washing machine (I am abominably lazy when it comes to handwashing). Was that the cashmere or merino wool? I disliked their lambswool which was unbelievably itchy or maybe I'm just soft and have been spoilt by cashmere.

    1. It is lovely isn't it? And you can't go wrong with these monochrome combinations can you? Thank you for stopping past and leaving a comment. Nice to meet you.

    1. The collar is the bit I like as well. It's almost like a zip detail - just that little bit more unusual than the usual studs which have been popular for the past couple of seasons. Have a great weekend too!

  6. very nice indeed! When did you buy it? Are you subscribed to cocosa? They had a sale on masion scotch recently...might still do actually. i am not buying anything before my trip to amsterdam in october...so it's crying for me over trying to be frugal...

    1. Ekaterina - I haven't bought it - these items just caught my eye whilst I was doing an online window shop. I wish I did have all these items in my wardrobe but then I would be particularly poor but stylish! I saw the Maison Scotch sale on Cocosa but didn't pick anything up this time. I'm trying to be frugal too but failing miserably. October is a long way off ... still time to live a little!
