Maybe I'm being influenced by the changing seasons, the greyer skies of Birmingham and the departure of summer, or maybe I'm just growing up, but I find myself increasingly drawn towards darker hues and classic monochrome these days. Of course, my love of colour and texture prevails but I am more likely to allow one statement piece to shine, such as my gorgeous tapestry pelmet skirt in this ensemble. Framing something so beautiful and bold with black really focuses attention upon it, and I love how this looks casual yet quite dressed up at the same time - perfect for yesterday's jaunt around the Bullring, and (yummy) lunch at Bodega Cantina!
