"Rara Avis"

From the catwalk to the sidewalk, the luxe touch of black is transforming everyday chic into memorably standout style. The latin phrase loan on Juvenal's satiresrara avis in terris nigroque simillima cygno ("a rare bird in the lands, and very like a black swan") is what inspired me today in wearing the ultimate sweater in my wardrobe a vintage black Armani and punctuate the entire look with my Topshop bold statement shoes which elevate any minimal outfit. I just love the transformation of sophistication and minimalism to refined "edginess" without the element of forced eccentricity and that path was in my realm today.

Oh wow my dear you look incredible!!!!! I would wear this outfit in a snap!!! SO chic,So stylish and so inspiring!!! I love the modern minimalism but also it has this kind 1920s charm with the way you have styled those beautiful wide leg trousers with those amazing blue brogues. Your top is an amazing find,i adore the detailing it has.

I want to do a look like this sweetie,love love love!! Take care,Daniella xox
