Marianne Faithfull

Not long ago I read Marianne Faithfull's autobiography Memories, Dreams and Reflections. I seriously recommend it - such a great read. Quite thoughtfull and perceptive. Her style in her from the sixties is a constant influence - perfectly encapsulating the preppy/bohemian look that came from their lifestyle and thats so iconic of that period in Britain. The big square sunglasses and perfect double breasted coats and jackets from Karen Walker are perfect.

Twisted

I just found this gorgeous cropped tank top on Maximilia. It's by Australian designer Karla Spetic - someone I hadn't actually heard of before. I love the cropped cut and the twist detail - particularly how it affects the neckline. I also adore the neutral palette, so clean and refined - it really allows the details to shine.

There's also a lot of other lovely pieces in the same vein; twist detail leggings, dresses and tops, cutouts - and I love the oversized cream cable jersey...
