Acne Can Do No Wrong

//CLUTCH : ℅ Karen Millen

This is lazy dressing at its finest. Black culottes go with everything and are currently a major wardrobe staple. Styling them with a loose fit jumper and slip on mules makes for the perfect combination of navy, black and cobalt.

Topshop intended this knit dress to be worn as nightwear but upon finding it in the sale I decided it would be awful to restrict its usage to only my bedroom and therefore wear it as daywear. 

The dress teamed with one of the comfiest pair of shoes I own and a classic bomber makes for the perfect lazy day outfit.

Taking notes from Acne Studios ; ponchos are cool (see here). I decided to play with proportions and wear my poncho with ultra slim flares in a really dark denim.

DIY Jil Sander Veiled Beanie

After seeing the likes of model Hanne-Gaby Odiele (major style crush) , Bryanboy and Anna Dello Russo wearing their Jil Sander veiled beanies I knew I had to try and make one myself!

The real version costs £274 which isn’t exactly ideal for a student budget, mine cost me £9 to make which is much more reasonable.

1. To start you need:

A fine knit beanie (I got mine for £2- £3 with delivery- from EBay and chose a navy hat, here)

9’ x 24’ Birdcage/Russian netting (get it here)

Needle and thread

Scissors

2. Lay out the netting flat and place the hat in the centre offset by about 3 inches

3. Fold each side of the netting into the centre of the beanie

4-5. Pin and then stitch the two edges together and to the beanie. Be careful not to stich through both sides of the beanie !

6-7. take the top of the netting and fold the netting down to where you have just made your stitch

8-9. Then stitch the netting in place

10—12. Repeat the last step folding down the netting again and stiching it to the beanie

13. Now the netting is stitched in place you can fold up the cuff of the beanie hiding your stitching and the folded netting

Then put your beanie on pull the netting as low or high as you like over your face and your Jil Sander Beanie DIY is complete !

*After these pictures were taken I noticed a hard edge or line at the bottom of the netting. For a more authentic look ( see model pics above ) I have now changed that by cutting off the fine edge leaving a more delicate finish.
