I admitted yesterday on Twitter my addiction to pastels and nudes but I conveniently forgot to mention I was also mildly hooked on double denim, by fear of looking like a total trend whore.
The thing is, fashion being cyclical and all that, it tends to regularly catch up with my wardrobe staples, so I stock up. When nautical is in, I bulk buy stripy tops. When pastels and nudes are in, I restock too. As for double denim, luckily denim pieces are built to last so I can just happily pick and choose in my closet, I don't have to buy anything new. Amen to that.
Speaking of addiction, my new drug of choice is the bag I have on these photos. It is a wedding present and I am head over heels in love with it. I picked it because it reminds me of a more exotic version of the Mulberry Bayswater.
I love the jade details and intricate leather work. It is by Shanghai Tang, a brand I discovered recently (I have a few photos from their AW10 offerings to show you, they will make you dribble in your shoes).

the double denim looks so good on you. who would have thought this would be popular this summer?? love the flowers in your hair too. that is seriously lovely.
ReplyDeletep.s. congratulations on the wedding!! xx
hooray! After years of thinking it was the gravest fashion crime possible, I'm on a huge double denim kick too. Did a shoot with Japanese Elle this weekend and it was my first look, to the horror of my bystanding mother and pomeranian.

love your headband!
ReplyDeleteand I really like Shanghai Tang, too, my brother introduced me to the brand a couple of years ago and I've been hooked ever since :)
Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteWho is the necklace by?
I'm a big fan of double denim, looks lovely on you!

You wear the double denim trend very well. I think the trick is using contrasting shades of denim blue. It also helps to wear accessories and jewellery as you have shown.
ReplyDeleteI'm also wearing double denim today but shhhhh, don't tell anyone!
Ugh double denim. I just moved to London from California. This trend actually used to be a regular outfit back home and was very unsuccessful. It made me a little scared seeing it on fashion sections of early morning television programs here. Your styling is not bad because the contrast is so strong. The light and the dark, the loose and the tight. But I've been seeing a lot of almost-but-not-quite matching jeans and jacket combos that just...well make me sad. 8)
ReplyDeleteLoving the double denim! I have been wearing mine with a dark denim shirt tucked into wide leg light denims! Cowgirl chic! Love it
ReplyDeleteAm addicted to nude as well and even if I was convinced I do not have a favourite color, this season nude really filled this gap for me:) As for denim...we'll always have denim, I guess...not so sure about double denim as a long runner though, but it defnitely looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteAs I think I said to you on Twitter, I'm also loving DD at the mo. Wasn't sure at first, but it's grown on me. The shirt you have on here works so well.
ReplyDeleteYou look so beautiful but yet utterly casual
ReplyDelete:)
ah yes i love double denim xx
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers in your hair! I'm giving in and posting about double denim soon. it's one of my favorite trends out there right now, and you do it so well.
ReplyDeletehow can you even mention being a trend whore and then wear something that is so classic? Or at least out in Oregon that shirt would be considered a staple. Your necklace is precious.
ReplyDeletelove the outfit! the headband is toooooo gorgeous :)
