Hey guys and a very happy weekend! I don’t know about you, but there are some weeks when a Friday can’t come soon enough! It’s been really busy in the office with senior editors being away at couture and us prepping to send Harpers Bazaar April and Town & Country spring to print at the same time! Despite work, I somehow managed to carve out some time for more blogger related events! I was lucky to be one of the first to see the new Manolo Blanhik store in London (can’t wait to show you what I found there!) and I caught up with the beautiful Julia from Julia Lundin blog (follow her on @julialundinblog) over lunch at Soho House.

For today’s post I’m continuing with my shirt 6 ways series and focusing on a ridiculously simple way to update it. I remember the time when brooches and pins were considered old trinkets but over the past few seasons designers have been decorating their clothes and accessories with these sparkly beauties. If you’ve loved the recent Gucci collection, you would’ve seen a lot of vintage touches throughout.

I personally can’t get over the creative genius of Alessandro Michele and have used his S/S 2016 line as an inspiration. This brooch is actually part of a belt that can be unclipped and I’ve decided to find it a new home on the top button of my shirt (similar at Levi’s and Warehouse). The pleated skirt from Topshop is the perfect length and this look was crying out for a Gucci beret. The key to the granny-chic vibe is to keep the shoes comfy so opt for mid to low heels.

What do you think? Will you be adding some sparkle to your shirt? Let me know in the comment box below…
