I am realising more and more as the years go by that winter is a season of re-discovery. In winter everything makes sense; all the puzzle pieces fit together perfectly. While my style in summer is confused by seasonal prints, bold colours and feminine dresses, in winter I feel like myself again. I revert back to seeking out simplicity and quality over quantity.

So needless to say the compulsion to simplify and streamline my winter wardrobe has completely taken hold. Along with dreams of tartan long-line coats, flat boots and the perfect oversized turtleneck, I am embracing subtle lace accents, transparent fabrics, masculine silhouettes, gold hardware, a touch of leopard and above all else black, black and more black. It's funny how much easier getting dressed becomes in the mornings by sticking to an ethos of simplicity.

This Sandro coat couldn't be more perfect in my mind. Although the weather has warmed up a bit I am doing my best to make it LA relevant...cue the sandals and coat thing i've been trying out a lot lately. Similarly this Rag and Bone/jean tee is hands down my favourite. After buying it mid last year, I loved it so much I bought a second one when they went on sale a few months later -Crazy I know. It has the perfect amount of transparency and a ribbed detail along the spine that is absolutely perfect.

What do you think? Are you more true to your style in the colder months or in the heat of summer?
