Editorial by Porter Magazine. 

Porter Magazine is such a beautiful magazine. Everything from the layout to the editorial is sumptuous. The pages look as expensive as the garments they boast. It is currently my favourite magazine. See more of it here.

Nothing like a basic pump in a neutral color. This pair by Gucci with gold chain strap would stand the test of time. Wear with vintage or flare pants for a retro look worthy of Gucci. More on these here. 

Style Icon | Diana Ross

Bigger being better, more is more. Diana Ross is a style icon often copied for her maximalist style. Think bejewelled and sequin gowns, jumpsuits, big hair, faux lashes, faux fur and more. She's inspired the red carpet style of style mavens like Solange, informed the performance wear of singers like Beyoncé and inspired us through the movie screen in film, Mahogany. The singer turned 75 yesterday and is still as much a style icon today as she was in her heyday.

I like how red the look looks. The jumper is actually orange but paired with the skirt looks a bit reddish. Asda make the best jumpers, this snuggly one is all fuzz. Pair a fuzzy sweater with a faux fur stole for extra texture. Look for the week. Photo by @prabhy_b on instagram.
