Probably one of the most major workhorses in my cold weather wardrobe is a trench coat. For me, it toes that line nicely of feeling polished enough to lift a denim look, but still relaxed enough in the styling for a more casual lifestyle.

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!).

Sharing a minimal but still playful holiday table setting, appropriate for the holidays. This doesn’t mean reinventing the wheel; perhaps you invest in one nice set, or beautiful napery and linens that you bring out just for the season. Adding in foliage or interesting seasonal tablescapes to create that sense of balance, dimension, and drama.
