Currently Coveting {shades of camel}

Lately, I have found myself drawn to the sophisticated shades of camel. These classic neutrals easily translate to a chic casual look, or can always be dressed up for a more glamorous effect. 

I personally love it mixed with black and gold, but paired with brighter colours also works well.


A few favourite pieces...




How would you go about incorporating camel into your home or wardrobe?

    Another gorgeous post Rachel! I've noticed so many nice pieces around this season. A camel Hermes blanket would be divine!

    I would adore a pair of camel leather boots or a gorgeous trench this season.

    I've stumbled across your blog through bijou and bohème (it's lovely!) I'm a huge fan of camel in all its shades and I have a favourite camel pashmina which I like to take when travelling on planes.

    Black and camel are very classic, but I really like camel with kelly green!

    So funny! I'm wearing camel today and a colleague asked me if it was a fashionable colour this season...my answer was that it's always fashionable as it's a great classic! I'm styling my cal wool skrt with a dark green top and a big floral necklace from Marni...Have a lovely week Rachel!
