Final (style) look back at the year that was, this time, through what I purchased. More specifically, my top five buys, and the three pieces I wish I’d reconsidered buying. Aside from recounting my most worn pieces of the season, this has been one of the more valuable reflections when analysing personal style. Because you’re forced to consider the root cause of why an item has been tucked away at the back of your closet, unloved and unworn. That said, if I’ve taken away anything from my purchases over the years, it’s that regardless of how much time we spend…
Wrapping up the year by sharing 12 of my favourite outfits I wore in 2023. By no means an exhaustive list, but reflections are always fascinating as it can tell you a lot about your personal style. Taking a look at my own favourites, there’s a few key takeaways: So in rough, chronological order, here goes… OUTFIT #1 Wearing Wynn Hamlynn dress, The Frankie Shop blazer, Tibi strappy sandals, Chanel vintage classic flap If I hadn’t found an occasion to wear this, I’d say this was a complete fantasy self buy. A tropical printed dress with wired “cut out” that…

So, I’m somewhat romanticising the reflection of my Spring wardrobe, and the items I wore the most. Largely because I know that the days of layering – for the most part – are probably going to be pretty limited in the months to come. Transitional seasons always tend to be my favourite. Objectively, it’s when we have the most options from our wardrobe. Layering becomes a bit of a sport;…
Could these be the most comfortable shoes, ever? Pretty bold statement, especially coming from someone who has tested out hundreds of pairs of shoes (heels + flats) over the years. But having a wide foot, and a bunion, I know too well the dreaded expectation of a “break-in” period. Something that for years I associated with any new shoe purchase. And it’s what makes the premise behind Ally Shoes so appealing.

First of all, for those of you celebrating, Happy Thanksgiving! Personally, one thing I’m forever grateful for is this wonderful community. I don’t think I ever dreamed at 13, when I first started blogging, that I’d go on to form so many beautiful connections (and even more joy when those then translate into IRL friends!). This week feels like it’s been a long one, and I thought it would be fun to end my Black Friday/Cyber Monday chatter by indulging a little in what ended up making it into my cart… Confession time. I went way off-piece with my Black…
