Bare ankles in Winter
COS coat, Zara trousers and cashmere sweater, Superga sneakers, Monki scarf, Céline bag and Ray-Ban sunglasses
My friends call me crazy - for quite a few reasons but particularly for not wearing socks in the winter. When I wear my oversized layers, though, I feel like the only way to keep those from overwhelming me is by keeping my ankles bare. And of course I do get cold feet but I always have my UGGs waiting for me at home so it's just fine.

The Imitation Game
Another extraordinary film I got to see this week is 'The Imitation Game', based on the real life story of mathematician Alan Turing, who helped cracking the Enigma code the Germans used to encrypt messages during World War 2. It's beautifully filmed and the entire cast is amazing. Benedict Cumberbatch plays his best role yet as the closeted gay genius Alan Turing. Besides the Enigma story the film also shows the disturbing narrow-minded morality at that time; homosexuality was illegal and women were not supposed to work with men. For a World War 2 related film about an interesting man like Alan Turing the film is quite simple and does not get into the different characters all that much - but that doesn't take away from the greatness of it and it certainly did not bother me.
'The Imitation Game' deservingly got nominated for 8 Oscars! Check out the trailer below:

The Perfect LBD
Sometimes when you're not even looking for it you can come across that perfect item that you feel was always missing from your wardrobe. To me this happened when I recently stumbled upon this Little Black Dress at COS. With its perfect knee-length (and slightly longer at the back), its shiny viscose material, the elbow-length sleeves and the overall loose fit it is everything I want from a classic dress and I will be wearing it on many casual as well as formal occasions, I'm sure.
Found some similar classic LBDs for you to shop here:
