Personal Shopper: Moiraine's Rainy London Wardrobe

Moiraine writes: "In September I'm moving to London for graduate school (yipee!) and I'm looking to upgrade my wardrobe. I'm from NYC, but I'm not sure what the British style vibe is - also, my program is mostly international students and professionals. Ideally, I'm looking for pieces that are dress casual, but with an edge (I already have this watch!). A total bonus in all this: a burberry-like jacket and a pair a ballet flats that I can walk from my apartment (about 30 minutes away) in...I'm desperately searching for some help in this daunting task!"

OOh, girl. You are so lucky. London is one of the best places a girl can study. I all but lived in those museums. In terms of fashion, London is all about basics that are dressed up with some snazzy accessories. And I didn't add too many of those because those accessories are what make the outfit. And it should be your special touch that truly makes the ensemble pop. God speed in London, madame. Send a postcard! - Magzilla
