Out & About : VANS x Liberty of London

VANS are our go-to shoes for brave mornings.

On days like these, instead of decking out in the usual fitted outfits (where you have to worry about every pinch of food you take), we pair loose-fit pieces with equally voluminous counterparts - Cuffed boyfriend jeans with an oversized printed cardigan; A denim outershirt layered over a worn-in t-shirt. We complete the look with a pair of chunky VANS thrown into the mix - The heavy silhouette anchors the baggy look perfectly, and the extra bounce it gives with every step scores you extra debonair points.

Here are our top 3 favourites from the capsule VANS x Liberty collection -



VANS Era in Mountains/Army - (Clockwise from top left) Sifr Essential t-shirt, Monocle magazine, Sifr denim jacket, Komono Sunglasses, Vans X Liberty shoes, Jack Spade L/S shirt, Jack Spade camou structured pouch, Dr Denim chinos, Komono Magnus Watch

In our last post, we picked out the top 7 highlights, along with the most dreamy playlist, from our trip to the coastal paradise of Los Angeles. Today, we're sorting things out for you and picking out the essentials we would pack.


We would totally pack...

These shoes for the Boardwalk

For Ladies -


'Alice' in Jaffa/Burnt Copper by Pointer


'Alice' in Peacoat/Burnt Copper by Pointer

This must be our favourite style for Women from Pointer's Sunbury Line. Made in a serious, studious boat-shoe silhouette, yet flirts with unexpected colours (hello, jaffa!), and made only in the softest, softest leather. The Alice is -hands down- the quintessential Pointer style.


Proudly Made-in-Portugal


For Men -


'Taylor' in French Roast/Burnt Copper by Pointer


'Taylor' in Stone/Burnt Copper by Pointer

Also from the Sunbury series, Taylor is a rugged, chunky style that balances out a looser, more casual outfit. Constructed out of a textural mixture of leather, suede and canvas, the Taylor also features a comfortable padded collar, and gives an otherwise plain and predictable outfit a laidback, scruffy vibe.





These Bags You Never Have to Worry About on a Surf Trip


A Baggu x MerBag collaboration

These are fun, loud, look-at-me bags you don't have to be gentle with. Fusing the signature Duck Bag silhouette from BAGGU with MerBag's utilitarian philosophy, this collaboration sees a heavyduty (and 100% waterproof) bag line that is the perfect size for wet equipment. This line is proudly Made in the USA.





These Watches for the Art Gallery
*Only at Rockstar (Orchard 22)*


'Black Panamerica', from the 'Wizard Print' series from Komono


The 'Fat Wizard' series from Komono

The Komono brand marches to the beat of their own drum. Combining the various elements of colour, design and a come-what-may attitude, they create timepieces that don't take themselves too seriously. A breath of fresh air. Also, all Komono timepieces are constructed with Japanese Quartz Movement.



The 'Magnus Print' series from Komono
