"extraordinary in the ordinary"

I am one of those people that love to splurge on designer things when I get the chance (and have the $$!) - yet I somehow always find myself putting these beautiful creations in a safe place in my wardrobe and mostly... well... look at it. When it comes down to getting dressed in the morning, I always go for the comfy stuff.

I'm a sucker for basics.

In the week I got the chance to head over to Staple the Label HQ - and had the pleasure of meeting Victoria Bolton, one half of fashion label Staple - designers of modern and sophisticated, yet simple, pieces perfect for your travel wardrobe. And when I say perfect, I mean perfect. Vic talked me through every piece of the two sister collections 'Staple by Staple' (the basics) and 'Shanghai Nights' - which are basically the slighty more edgier wonders that you can team back with your basics.

There was not one thing in either collections that I didn't L O V E - Staple has always appealed to me but I have to confess that I haven't owned a piece before this day. Now there is no going back. The collections drop in the coming month - so hold on to your cashola and invest in something that you actually WILL wear everyday. And let's face it - you can't go wrong with a collection shot on Rachel Rutt.
