The underlying tenets of my wardrobe are quality over quantity, with a big focus on ensuring I get a good cost-per-wear out of anything new I add to it. I’d like to think that over the years, I’ve shifted (mostly) away from trend-led pieces and more towards timeless designs that will truly stand the test of time. Wearing Rue Stiic linen top, Mott & Bow skinny jeans, IRO coat (s/o but similar option here), Sam Edelman loafers (also here), Oroton bag, Holly J necklace, Mejuri necklace, Holly J earrings While I still purchase the odd item from the high street,…
For my final autumn style uniform, I wanted to show you how I’ve been dressing on days when I don’t want to wear jeans or trousers. It’s usually during this transitional period that I can get away with bare legs just a little longer, especially if I bulk up the layers on my upper half. For this style uniform, I pair an oversized knit sweater + skirt + boots, with a coat thrown over the top for good measure. Wearing Mott & Bow cashmere sweater, Everlane patch pocket skirt (I wear this in a US0), Everlane boss boots (review here),…
After eyeing up the J’adior slingback flats from Dior for the better part of two years, I was finally able to tick them off my wish list as my most recent 5PFW addition.

Aside from relying on my style uniform to get ready each morning, I’ve also been looking a lot to PinterestLINK for a fresh take on how I can wear some of my old autumn/winter favourites. Unsurprisingly, it’s been the simple, minimal styling that I’ve been really drawn to. Classic, tailored basics can be incredibly effective, especially when paired together in the right proportions. There’s five outfits that have been inspiring me lately, so I thought I’d share them with you and break down what I like about each look. It was this first outfit (featured above) that made me realise…
I thought I’d kick of the week by diving into my second autumn style uniform; a slim-fitting tee + straight leg jeans + oversized blazer + pointed toe shoes. There’s a real sense of familiarity in wearing variations of what is essentially the same outfit, and it’s a fail-safe on days when you don’t feel like experimenting or trialling a new ‘look’. Wearing Re/Done t-shirt, Everlane straight leg jeans (review here), Everlane linen blazer, Charlotte Olympia pumps (old but these are a great affordable dupe), Oroton bag, Isabel Marant belt, Linjer watch, Mejuri necklace, Thomas Sabo earrings This is an…
