Celine bags with the giving treat, C-Class helped you see past...

One of my favourite Pusha T tracks off his last mixtape, this song gets me every time purely because of the Kevin Gates vocals. Pusha is one of the few artists that is able to rap about being a dope boy and make it sound like pure poetry...now I'm just waiting on this album of his to drop!

Recently I've become addicted to Scandal, the US TV series - Kerry Washington is unbelievably beautiful (not so secret girl crush) and I'm in love with her wardrobe. Her choice of clothing is actually quite boring, mostly neutral suits with soft feminine colours juxtaposed with hard architectural detailing. But Kerry's colouring contrasts so beautifully with all the white and dove grey outfits, and she's beautiful enough to pull off anything. For anyone that's as obsessed as me, you can see her entire wardrobe as Olivia Pope in Season 2 here: http://www.vulture.com/2013/02/scandal-kerry-washington-olivia-suits-every-outfit-season-2.html#

Her entire wardrobe reminds me so much of the AW14 Celine collection:

 I've realised that I write way too much on these posts so I'm going to try and keep all the writing to a minimum and just say I love the way this collection was able to merge sharp tailoring with feminine accents, and how the textures varied throughout the whole collection whilst still managing to create a cohesive collection. If I could, I'd buy every piece...seeing as I'm living the life of a broke student that's not going to happen; in order to recreate the minimalist, structured yet feminine look seen here I've included a few pieces that I think have a similar vibe.

First up, COS. Their entire collection screams minimalist every season. My personal favourites are:

One last item before I forget, this gorgeous coat from Mango, I died over the oversized soft collar - here's the link: http://shop.mango.com/GB/p0/mango/clothing/maxi-flap-flecked-coat/?id=11060141_G5&n=1&s=prendas.vertodo_allprendas_she&ie=0&m=&ts=1373293728366

Seeing as this whole post regards minimalism I'm going to keep everything I say/write to a minimum. Hope I've at least given someone out there incentive to give into temptation and do a bit of online shopping to pass the time.
