Our style is ever-evolving. Changing as we age, enter new periods of our lives, and develop (or grow out of) certain interests. Having vigilantly documented my style journey from the age of 18 (I’m 32 this weekend!), it’s been interesting to note which wardrobe staples have really had a lasting impact on my personal style. Even as I’ve been drawn away from a silhouette, certain themes have continued to creep their way back into the styling elements of my daily outfits. I’m an analytical kind of woman; I love looking at numbers, and identifying patterns. Given my love of fashion…
Clearly, my autumn/winter wardrobe planning is in full swing. I’ve been making good on my resolve to add fewer, but better items to my wardrobe, so took the opportunity to snag a couple of *forever* wishlist pieces from the end of year sales. A pair of wool felted trousers from Acne Studios; a super oversized rollneck sweater from Babaa. And most recently, this Everlane Glove Boot Reknit in the bone hue*. I’ve still got 5.5 weeks of pregnancy left (give or take), so I’m thinking more about how I’ll be utilising what I have (that still fits) over anything new…
I’ve definitely gotten into a bit of a rhythm when it comes to my outfits of late. Slowly but surely, I’m outgrowing more and more pieces, which has left me with a smaller – but manageable – number of items to work with. Most days, I’m repeating something you’ve already seen. The black tiered maxi dress from Matteau which has been one of the best spring/summer wardrobe investments I’ve made recently. The Saint Laurent Nu Pieds I’m wearing above; fast shaping up to be my most worn shoe of the summer. The fitted maternity skirt I purchased early on in…
As a bit of a follow up to my update a couple days ago, I thought I’d also share a look at my pregnancy-safe beauty routine. Aside from thinking about changes to diet and potentially my wardrobe, this was the first thing I set about curating. I’ve tried to make this work hand in hand with “Project Use It Up”; or at least my efforts to reduce the number of beauty products I own, and create consistency with what I’m applying to my face. Safe to say, it’s been a total win for me, and I’ve found more than a…
It’s hard to believe that in a little under two months, Luke and I will finally be meeting our little one. Like any pregnancy, I’ve gone through my ups and downs. It’s not all roses, and growing another life inside you can be tiring, emotional, and hard. For those of you also expecting, and those of you who are just plain curious, I thought I’d share an update on how I’ve been making changes to my style, health, and general lifestyle, as well as how I’ve been preparing for baby’s impending arrival. Wearing Everlane slip dress (size US6), All Saints…
