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…
As much fun as it’s been to mix things up style-wise with my weekly edits, the reality is that I’ve found myself wanting to revert to one a simple outfit formula. It’s gotten me thinking again about my attitudes to fashion. I’ve admitted my fickleness before, and it’s usually here that it shines through. One week I’m open to trying new things, the next, I crave the comfort of a familiar style uniform. Given I’m no stranger to repeating outfits, I doubt this comes as much of a surprise. Wearing Marks & Spencer tank, Dr Denim skinny jeans (old but…
Over on my YouTube channel, I’ll be sharing a video every day for the month of May, so I wanted to get on the front foot with my April Beauty Edit. As with my March Beauty Edit, I’ve found myself digging back into my makeup stash, relying mostly on old favourites, with a few newbies thrown in for good measure.

I’ve been dying to try the it Cosmetics Your Skin…
I don’t think I’ve received as much interest in a new wardrobe addition as I have with my latest handbag: the Polene Number One Mini. Cross body bags have become my bread and butter now that I work from home, and I tend to prefer something that is more of a small to medium size. Enough to carry all my essentials, but not large enough that it looks boxy or bulky against my frame. Wearing Faithfull midi dress (here in green), Polene Number One Mini bag in ‘sand’ (gifted), Marks & Spencer nude mules, Madewell earrings (old but love these),…
It may come as a surprise, but of everything that we wear, sneakers have one of the biggest environmental footprints. The manufacturing process is energy-intensive, and many of the components are made from virgin plastic, which never break down. Not only that, but we are wearing out our sneakers at a faster rate than many of the other items we have stashed in our wardrobes, with the number of sneakers that have ended up in landfill somewhere in the billions. And one of the things I’ve been making more of an effort to do this year is shop sustainable first.…
