Today I was on that London vibe. I have visited the great mother city of our forefathers 5 or 6 times in the last couple years, but it has been far too long since I've made the trip and I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. So I rocked Britain from head-to-toe. If you know me, you know that I never think one can be wearing too many flags and can never be too prideful! Love who you are and where you're from and rock it to the fullest! [disclaimer...I am not English I just like their colors :)]
I chose to start off my ensemble with one of my boldest patterned shoes. My Union Jack Clark's desert boots (bought in Natick, MA). I purchased these beauties after one of my long stints abroad. There's just something so bold, yet classy, about the British flag. After all we were all British at one point right (or at least we've all faked the accent in vein trying to be sexy)?
These shoe's deserve nothing but the best so I had to go with a whole outwear and office look to support them. I believe fully in getting dressed from the bottom up; and it is incredibly evident when your shoes were the last thing you threw on, on your way out the door. You just look sloppy!
To the left I went with the skinny dark grey Zara dress pants (Rome), simple grey AllSaints v-neck (Boston) for some more British appeal, a vintage blue cardigan I got in Lyon, France, a black check Burberry belt (Boston) and topped it all off with the limited edition over-sized grey cashmere check scarf from Burberry a few seasons back.
To the right there are even more layers of London pride. I adorned last years sensational and brilliant navy puffy coat with orange lining from Burberry (it even has real raccoon fur on the trim! I die! *cough cough sorry PETA cough*). I'm also rocking the limited edition teal square sunglasses from Burberry's last spring line as well as an original vintage Pan Am bag from Lyon. No this is not the Marc Jacobs knock off!
