There's something appealing about occasionally treating yourself to a more luxury version of a classic wardrobe staple. This navy blue hooded sweat from Margiela fits the criteria: easy to wear in a classic colour, a thoughtful and interesting design, and a fair old price tag to match.

"For over a year Juergen Teller kept a weekly column in Germanys highly respected Die Zeit newspaper. Each week accompanying one of his images with an explanatory text, the column was a controversial addition to the historic publication. Pictures and Text collects these autobiographical musings together for the first time, and also comes with a separate booklet of complaint letters that Die Ziet received whilst Teller was contributing".

Jill Sander Ankle Boots

Jill Sander is definitely a designer I don't know a whole lot about, and that's okay with me. The shops are a bit intimidating although the products I've seen at Oki-ni look quite wearable. Anyways, it's one of those brands that's there and makes nice things, but I just don't have a personally connection. That being said, who doesn't have a personal connection to some desert boots? How about in blue suede with a white sole? Definitely not unlike Kitsune's low top rendition this spring, but I prefer the Sander version with a more muted blue and I really like the natural leather around the mid sole of the boot. While blue has been informally announced the color of this spring, I don't think I am personally going to jump into some blue footwear too quickly.
