highstreet gem #7: cos mottled leather shoes

COS mottled leather shoes - £125

I'm all for a clumpy shoe. Even more so now that ELLE have deemed the 'wrong shoe' is now in vogue since man-repelling footwear were spotted stomping down the catwalk at Stella McCartney, Miu Miu and Jil Sander. These COS shoes borderline ugly but still retain a 2013 cool status with a slightly iridescent mottled effect.

 

highstreet gem #1: sheer t-shirt

 

COS Sheer Stripe Top - £35

 

I can imagine wearing this sheer t-shirt in many different ways. With a nod to the monochrome trend, layered over a simple white t-shirt would give a daytime look extra dimension. It could easily be worn at night over a black vest or a figure hugging dress, or even just a bandeau. A no brainer, easy to wear, beautiful top.

 No #1 on my current wishlist.
