Wild Belle

I am a bit in love with the song 'Keep You' from new group Wild Belle, a duo from Chicago. This song is a veritable mix of electro, reggae, indie. It's very fresh and has an instant summer feel to it. Singer Natalie Berman's breathy tones are soothing and compliment nicely Elliot Bergman's saxophone interludes. 

They recently played the Mulberry pool party at Coachella- their music coupled with the heat and cool vibe of Coachella looked like a match made in heaven.


Fashion-wise (I'm a bit in love with that too), their look is an indie/boho mix, taking inspiration from artists of the past. The 70s seem to be a strong reference (Natalie cites Bowie as an inspiration) with loose chiffon shirts, clashing prints, tight black jeans, wide brimmed hats and fabulous boots (their Facebook page illustrates this well).

Buy of the week


I found this little treasure at a braderie (street market) last week. It can be used as a clutch bag or over the shoulder (the rest of the chain is actually inside the bag). I love the gold chain contrast with the colour of the leather. 
It was a steal at just €2.....and turns out it's by Bally!




Festival Chic

Another H&M find which I bought in anticipation of summer. In my mind I'm wearing it at a festival (it would be THE cleanest festival ever to be able to wear this!) but for the time being I'm planning to rock it with black tights, ankle boots and a vintage bag.



Ethereal

I found this sheer cream top in H&M whilst on holiday, for the bargain price of €9.99. 
It has a peter pan collar-so of course I was instantly drawn to it! I love how floaty and delicate it is. 

The lace detail is beautiful and it has such a vintage feel to it.
