Buoyed by my hunt for the perfect affordable alternative for The Row’s Ophelia knit, I decided to place an order from DISSH as I was curious to see how their version stacked up. And of course couldn’t resist adding a few other items to cart which had been knocking about in my opened tabs. You’ll find my first impressions embedded at the bottom of this video, but what was interesting to me was how these really started to shift the more time I had to reflect on each piece. Which, is unusual as often I’m steadfast in my convictions. In…
What is good style? Is it the trends we see in magazines? Tastefully curated wardrobes with a “classic aesthetic”? Or flamboyant maximalism expertly mixed and matched?

At the time that I placed my order, it was only available in cotton in a handful of easy neutrals. The Sezane Clyde Trench has…
Trying to squeeze one last post in before Christmas, and decided let’s keep things simple with a quick fire outfit round up. I’m trying to post a bit more frequently over on Substack, so you can subscribe here if you’re after more styling strategies, ways to wear, and also a peek at my best and worst purchases of the year (coming v v v soon!). As an overarching theme, one of the things I’ve noticed about my current preferences is a slant towards more minimally styled outfits that use interesting accessories to add that personal touch.

I talk about this often; the power accessories have in transforming your look. On the aesthetic side, they’re an extension of your personal style; an external signal of who you are or aspire to be. And on the practical side, your bag of choice plays a key role in keeping you organised for the day. My personal expectations are set high. I want a bag that can do it all. OLEADA understands the brief; their bags embody a sense of practical luxury, seamlessly blending functionality with elevated aesthetics. Today, we’re highlighting two standout OLEADA handbags that are more than that just…
