Hard to believe that 2015 has come and gone, now it’s January the Christmas leftovers have been eaten and the all the Champagne drunk. When I reflect on the previous year’s wardrobe choices I am reminded of what Karl Lagerfeld once said and that’s “what I love best in life is a new start”. Every year I watch my spending budget fall victim to the fads of the season. Countless dresses, bags and blouses that I’ll soon retire in the next months to come. 2016 is the year that I resolve to get off"fast fashion retailers" and finally invest in some smart statement pieces. Below are the purchases that you can keep in your closet for many years to come.

The new classic: Pussy Bow Blouse

A Reinvented LBD

The Next Go-To Denim: Cropped Trouser
