Yes I know. Another pan collar. This was a Christmas present from someone who clearly knows me far too well.
Pale pink, black pan collar and a little keyhole at the front, I have worn it with jeans and today I wore it with a pair of standard black trousers from H&M, Tory Burch black flats and my beloved Zara TRF blazer.
Seriously if you take anything away from this post know that this blazer is a true find. Yes, the button is a little bitch and will therefore mean that you never do it up but it smartens and works with almost anything.
Another blogger that loves this blazer (and all things Zara) is Mila. I saw her post today and agreed that she made a good outfit choice :) Link!
PS. In the photos below you will notice a few things:
1) My hair is quite frizzy.
2) There is a little sushi stain down the top. I wore it on Sunday, clearly dribbled as I ate and only noticed the stain after the photos were taken this afternoon. Honestly this happens quite a lot. I must be a big dribbler.
3) I am holding my bag awkwardly like a prop. I don't know why it worked itself into that position on my arm but it did. And it annoys me.
Oh well. Semi outfit of the day fail :)
Hair flip picture included for the LOLs.
Top: Zara (cannot find this on the website so my guess is that it is new season ?)
Blazer: TRF - Link!
Trousers: H&M (old!)
Sunglasses: Gucci
Bag: Celine
Tom Ford idol worship
There is actually one other thing I want you to take away today and that is that Tom Ford is the most inspirational designer in the world.
I watched the video embedded below and came to the conclusion that everything about him is impeccable.
You see him as both the designer but as a philosophical and arrestingly perceptive man with a candid value system that reflects what is truly important in life - clue: it's not the crap that I post on here and I know we all recognise this.
Needless to say I found this documentary absolutely fascinating. Don't be put off by either length or the fear of pretentiousness. For reference, there is something of "The September Issue" about it and whilst it's 40 minutes long its well worth foregoing the latest installment of the Real Housewives for....you will come away full of admiration and inspiration.
Can I go on about my love for Tom Ford? Yes.
But I will let him do the talking for now....

ReplyDeleteyou look amazing yet again :) i´ve actually seen this documentary about a week ago and he is everything you said he was...it left me refreshed and inspired...
ReplyDeleteI think I need to invest or at least try on the peter pan collar - such a garment has never adorned my body! Do you ever see some things and think you know they won't suit you but when tried on it just somehow works? I think I need to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteBig Tom Ford fan, I think he's so handsome! After watching "A Single Man" I thought this Man can do no wrong! The Zara blazer is a staple, love the look :) x
ReplyDeletesoo cute! If I invest in a Peter Pan collar, will I always stay young too? hmm
ReplyDeletelove the top and jacket so chic, I love your bag any time I see a post on it I drool ;) you look great and your posts are all summery and sunny, something I am craving here in Montreal right now. I watched the documentary few days ago so fascinating he is just amazing in anything he does his designs, his ads...
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day Laura x

@Lauren Alice - definitely check stores! It's well worth a hunt!
@marikuska - so glad you enjoyed it! :) Saw it yesterday and it was a "wow" moment :)

ReplyDelete@Mania - even though it was the sentiment of the documentary, watching it made me want to buy everything that he possibly produces...because i just want to support such an amazing design visionairy.... :)

ReplyDeleteWe NEED a step by step hair tutorial ASAP!!!
ReplyDeleteYou always look so classy.
ReplyDeleteI never said this before, but you were the first guru i used to watch on youtube and the one that introduced me to MAC and other brands and taught me alot about makeup. So i have to say a big thank you laura!

Such a fantastic documentary Laura! Outfit is wonder too, as always :) xx
ReplyDeletethe documentary was very interesting, he seems really normal. and i totally agree with him about when he says no amount of money can buy style. thanks for posting laura :)
ReplyDeletehttp://whattheshoe.blogspot.com/
The collared tops suit you so much. They just make me look like a block up top sadly.
ReplyDeleteI really like the blazer though, might have to look into getting that myself.
I went for sushi too on Sunday, better check my clothes for stains! I'm so bad at eating sushi. How are you actually supposed to tackle rolls that are twice the size of your own mouth?!

ReplyDeletelove this, Laura!! I've been dying for a two tone blazer for quite some time, again, I am cursed with no Zara or Zara eCommerce here in Canada. I also think Tom Ford is incredible. xx
ReplyDeleteblazer is stunning as well as the bag! i am in love wit ur bag
ReplyDeletex
Yet another great look. :) Loving monochrome at the moment. Gonna make time to watch the Tom Ford doc this week!!
ReplyDeleteLaura, I went to the Tom Ford store in Vegas this weekend. ITS AMAZING. I wanted to camp out. My husband told me I was a 'rube' and was far too over excited in there. But I don't think there is any other place on earth that is more exciting. His womens clothing is amazing, the shoes are fabulous. I bought Santal Blush perfume and a lipgloss. I just recently bought his jasmine perfume and his Indian Rose lipstick. Its all awesome. I am not sure about the prices of his clothing... but some day. Some say I will get something AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteand thank you for posting that awesome video, I've been trying to find it for DAYS
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is gorgeous. Love.:)
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit. Love the stain and your hair looks awesome :)))
ReplyDeleteTom Ford is bloody AMAZING. I once sat on the table next to him at the Ivy and the entire meal I was doing the "oh no I am not looking at you but at something behind you" stare!
ReplyDeletehttp://ohsofabulousdarling.blogspot.com/
Beautiful outfit!
ReplyDeleteWow..what can I say? Where shall I start!?
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be a 4 min video and I clicked on it and I stayed with it all the way!
I didn't know anything about Tom Ford so I watched it without any preconception. I was freaked out by this man's way of thinking! Such a clever man. I loved the idea of the window in life because that's how I feel too and I love the idea that there are lots of worlds and you have to make it your own.
It also made me think that I want to still do so many things in life and that I should follow my heart and what I'm really about!
Brilliant video. Thanks a mil for sharing!

LOVE TOM FORD!!!!!!! (the stuff he creates..plus cute to boot! hah! don't tell my husband..hehe)
ReplyDeleteAlso love your outfit and your quirkiness (:

ReplyDeleteso jealous of your bag , its seriously perfect !
ReplyDeletehttp://twilldy.blogspot.com
the video is sooo inspiring...
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is fantastic! I also love the top you received as a present. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI really like reading your blog. I used to watch your videos too. The reason why I find it so pleasant is the fact that you seem to be spending your money wisely, you buy - at least what it looks like - good quality clothing, you have your own style. Not too flashy, but very classy and elegant with a bit of an edge, which suits you a lot. Correct me if I am wrong :)
ReplyDeleteI think I am just tired of people that just buy, buy, buy and buy...
I wish you all the best in further blog development and you private life
Regards

i love your hair exactly like this! it's the absolute perfect length for you..
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit of course!! you pair things together so easily!!
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit, dribble and all! ;)

ReplyDeleteThose sunglasses are gorgeous. Are they this seasons? x

i watched the video on Tom Ford now...i had mistakenly assumed him to be a snobbish sort of personality but this has documentary has changed my views. i absolutely loved his philosophical views on life. he is so calm, cool and collected.

I love the top, peter pan collars are always a winner. the jacket truly is such a good piece, I'm already mentally putting it with almost everything in my wardrobe, and it's definitely working. I feel your pain on dribbling, always on brand new or freshly washed clothes as well
ReplyDeletewishfulsinfulyou.blogspot.com
there are a bunch of really great peter pan collars at h&m right now. love the celine bag.
