I’m still holding true to my 2019 motto of choose well, and buy less. Effectively, it’s seen me add to my wardrobe in a more considered way, and generally steer clear of shopping any sales. But the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one I will always make an exception for. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s a great opportunity to pick up some autumn wardrobe essentials on your wishlist at a discount (usually 40% off), before the season has even begun. The 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale kicked off overnight, with early access now open exclusively for Nordstrom cardholders. If…
The more mindful I’ve become about what I add to my wardrobe, the more time I seem to spend thinking about potential purchases. So I thought it might be useful to share some of the wardrobe shopping tips and habits I’ve developed which help me decide what to buy. Wearing Everlane cotton turtleneck, Karen Walker houndstooth skirt (old but I like this one), Grana alpaca coat (s/o but similar here), Sam Edelman loafers (also here), Oroton icon clutch, Holly J pearl earrings I’ve been shifting away from the impulsive mindset of my twenties, to a more considered approach.

The answers come pretty quick too.…
One of the main things I feel like I experimented with in June was my makeup. I’ve been wearing winged liner since I was around 20 years old, so to mix things up I started smudging a bit of dark shadow at the outer corners. It created a softer look, though safe to say a good cat eye flick is still my OG. As far as skincare goes, there’s only one new product that’s made it into the beauty edit this month. I decided to dial my routine back a notch and for the most part, am using just three…
Another day, another excuse to wear a milky-toned look. Clearly, I’ve been taking this neutrals trend pretty seriously. As much as I love wearing head to toe black (hello winter uniform!), swapping out those staples for lighter hues during the colder months still feels fresh. Wearing Mott & Bow sweater, Topshop trousers (old but similar here and also love this style), Edgii grey wool coat, Dior slingbacks (old but similar here), Phillip Lim mini pashli, Reliquia earrings A lot of how I get dressed in the morning is centred around my wardrobe favourites – the ‘hot’ items of the minute…
