Just a simple outfit post after a hectic, yet fun weekend. The blazer I am wearing I actually brought last in year when I was still living in Paris from this ‘not so new but still relatively new’ brand called The Kooples’. It’s one of those pieces that when you see it in the window of the shop you instantly know you have to have it, you then run in, try it on and fall in love while discarding at the same time the price tag. This being said, it then spends more than a year stuck at the bottom of my wardrobe with the tag still dangling off its left sleeve. Lost but then found, I couldn’t believe I had spent so much money on a item I hadn’t even worn yet. This being said, I really do love it and it is no longer at the bottom of a dark closet.

The jacket actually illustrates perfectly The Kooples’s aesthetic of street chic and a Parisian/London state of mind with a hint of musical background. I love the fact that the jacket is very endogenous, I have always had a thing for wearing men’s clothes.

Wearing: The Kooples Jacket, Cos dress worn as a top, H&M jeans, Zara suede heels and Miss Selfridge turquoise ring.

    I really like the French clothing line “The Kooples” , their philosophy of doing unisex clothing is very interesting, they are the creators of Comptoir des Cottoniers as well. This will certainly be an “evergreen” piece that you will wear forever! very good choice!

    It’s really a great brand !

    “Kooples” reminds me of one of my favorite bagel places back in Boston, called “Kupels.” Sadly, I haven’t been able to find bagels of equivalent taste here in London.

    Love the outfit, especially the ring!

      Haha great story,
      It’s weird, when i lived in Paris I ate bagels all the time same goes with cupcakes I don’t have those cravings anymore here.
      I will let you know if i come across a place :)
      Thanks for stopping by :)
