Classic wide leg culotte from Zara was only £9.99 on sale. The trouser is super comfortable as it incorporates cotton material and is finished with elastic at the waist. Pairing it with a grey crop top and as always, stepping out in my simple clean trainers...   Top @Seedheritage Trousers @Zara Originals Trainers @JD Backpakc @Dotti Photographed by Manju K Rai

Today, I am playing with a two neutral palettes: white and grey. Keeping it warm with an oversized sweater, and edgy at the same time with a culotte which was such a bargain at prettylittlething (there is a link below). Only £10 for this easy elegance...

What I have learned in 2015 is white trainers will take you through summer/winter and Australia! Everyone is embracing mannish tailoring, therefore, this slouchy long-line coat creates that effortless look. While my hair is manoeuvred by the classic windy weather of the UK, keeping the colours of my outfit in the same palette-family gives voice to the well put-together look.   "May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.

As I am eased to the amenities of winter days: warm blankets, staying in and tons of festive chocolates, indulging in oversized sweaters seems obvious. Largely drawn to neutral shades ensembles, this time, the prints on the poncho grabbed my attention. Being a former art student, the details reminds me of Futurism - the movement that emphasised speed, technology and time, which fairly defines our present day. My style contradicts the current situation, where everything happens in large scale with the two main requirements that are : immediate and instant, the minimal approach guides me to stay grounded and focus, as I don't want to get caught up on the vicious cycle of life...  Poncho sweater @zara Culotte @sweater Trainers  +adidas Originals   Photographs by Manju K Rai
