So I know I said the other day that I would be embracing colour this summer, but let's be honest: it ain't summer yet. In fact, it's January, and we've got a good three or four months left before it's coats off and sunglasses on. So today's outfit inspiration, courtesy of Swedish blogger Caroline Blomst (read all about her here, and visit her blog here), is decidedly wintry. Fur, leather and a gorgeous little Céline bag are surely all the ingredients you need to protect yourself from the elements while still looking fantastic. What I love about Caroline's style is how she manages to dress almost entirely in dark colours but never looks boring, thanks to interesting textures and luxe details. Here, her simple grey jumper and black trousers combination is fashioned up a notch with leather panels, a deliciously furry coat and a super-expensive cult bag. Simple black ankle boots are the perfect finishing touch to an outfit that is laid-back and perfect for everyday. As ever, I've chosen some high street alternatives, so that you can reproduce Caroline's excellent fashion formula for a fraction of the price. And if you really can't wait until summer to wear a bit of colour, why not try forgoing the grey jumper for a coloured one (my mint green H&M number would be perfect) instead? Lovely and indeed jubbly.
