We’ve paired this outfit with some Vanilla Moon Benillo Sandals for ultimate summer comfort! Here, the ‘Beyoutiful’ tee can make for a casual and relaxed summer outfit. But it’s not just for shorts and sandals ladies!… For AW14 chic comfort, we’ve paired the Zoe Karssen tee with the new American Vintage Tulsa trouser and gorgeous Custommade Janelle jacket. We love the relaxed tailored look of this outfit, teamed with a pair of H by Hudson boots to toughen up the style.

The Custommade Sisdel Dress is the perfect piece for layering; fab on it’s own, its also great as a base layer to accessorize over during the colder months. Teamed with our Vanilla Moon Wedge Sandals, the Sisdel dress looks effortlessly cool: perfect to throw on during the summer. For an AW14 appropriate look, we have paired this dress with a gorgeous cashmere knit from Custommade and the American Vintage Caldwell  Scarf to add texture and dimension. We love the muted tones of this outfit; it’s simple and practical but oozes understated style and sophistication.
