Lifestyled by Paula Joye

Every woman should own a pair of pale grey denim jeans. The End. Grey jeans are to denim what cashmere is to knitwear – relaxed, luxe and always chic. Pale grey denim is more dressed up than your favourite blues but far more casual than black pants – they’re the perfect compromise. Skinny leg is READ MORE…

Bronze, yellow and brown…not my usual home on the colour wheel. They work here because of the all the different textures – boucle tweed, metallic and cotton – it gives them some sheen and shape. The yellow tweed jacket is Chanel. One of my favourite vintage LA finds – the buttons and the long-line length make it READ MORE…

I collect pineapples, flags and elephants. I love them equally and obsessively. This t-shirt was from Topshop (2005) and it has become one of my all time favourite tee’s – retro, distressed, cool.
