The JCs for today are the Lita in distressed black leather. These were my first pair of Litas, and I believe second pair of JCs. I know almost every blogger (and their dog) has a pair of Litas so I'm not the first to vouch for how comfortable and easy to walk in they are, but it is true. Although I do love the distressed finish,  I often wish I'd opted for the plain black leather as sometimes when paired with opaques they can look a little odd. Having said that, they are a very versatile shoe and I suppose the distressed look is still very on trend to grunge up an outfit x

Blazer See by Chloe/ Disco Pants American Apparel/ Shirt ASOS/ Shoes  Jeffrey Campbell Lita/ Glasses Missoni/ Lips Innocent by Topshop.

This cropped shirt from ASOS is definitely one of my favourite recent purchases as here I am wearing it again. This time I paired it with disco pants and a longline blazer for just a peek of midriff, adding an unexpected element to the look. As the outfit is predominantly black I livened it up with my cosmic Litas, which are the JCs I'm loving the most at the moment. I think the print and colour combination is literally 'out of this world.' To finish off, I matched my glasses and lips to the pale pink x

Although I often regret impulse buys, the Swansong are a purchase I certainly do not. I nabbed them on final sale at Andrea Biani over a year ago and they're actually one of the few pairs of JCs I have bought in a physical store (which was good as I found they run a full size small). For me the Swansong are really versatile, as the sandal style is great for summer but can also easily be worn in winter with opaques due to the dark floral pattern. I'm a fan of the subtle floral pattern as it often goes unnoticed on first glance. Needless to say, despite the height they're comfortable and easy to walk in x

Jacket Motel Rocks/ Jeans Motel Rocks/Shirt ASOS/ Boots Topshop/ Bag Marc by Marc Jacobs/ Glasses Rayban Wayfarers/ Lips Beguiled by Topshop.

I'm rather obsessed with co-ordinates at the moment. I featured this jacket in an outfit post about a month ago, while the matching jeans were on their way to me, but now the outfit is complete. I love that this co-ord set is slightly different to my other suits as it has a much more casual vibe thanks to the denim-style jacket and high waist jeans. Here I've paired the ensemble with a great cropped shirt from ASOS, cutout boots and a touch of burgundy to break up the monochrome x

I picked up these printed jeans at the Glassons outlet at Dressmart the other week. I know they're not an original print as I remember seeing it all over the blogosphere during the European Summer, but I loved it then and still do now. I'm not usually a lover of green but combined in this cool tropical print I may have been converted. Although they are designed to be 7/8 length, they're more like ankle grazers on me, and think they'll look great paired with a crisp white tshirt and chunky silver necklace x

Today's JC are the What in blue nubuck. Besides the colour, the thing that attracted me to this style was the unusual shape and creased detailing at the toe (which is also practical as it avoids the natural crease that can occur in that area). Another aspect I enjoy are the velcro side closures which make them really easy to take on and off. Needless to say, despite the height they're super comfortable and easy to walk in x
