Champagne taste on a beer budget; that’s probably how I’d best describe my wardrobe. It’s a mish-mash of contemporary or staple investment pieces, and more affordable basics. Over the years, I’ve learnt that you don’t need to break the bank to look chic or expensive. If you break down some of my favourite outfit combinations, they’re usually a mix of high/low dressing. Some of my favourite finds have been those that fall on the affordable end of the spectrum – whether it’s been from shopping pre-loved, or scouring independent brands or the high street.

To finish up the week I thought I’d share a quick post with 10 autumn outfit ideas that I’ll be wearing for the season ahead. My style has definitely shifted a bit in the last six months, as silhouettes have become decidedly less structured and more so relaxed in nature. There are no major themes – trend-wise that is – underlining my style choices for autumn this year, except for a hint of neutrals (though I think you already knew that…). Some of the big style staples for me this season include: 01 | Denim Rewind five or six years,…
Shopbop’s seasonal ‘Big Event’ sale has just kicked off, which means that there’s four days to nab up to 25% off all items labeled ’Key Style’ using the code EVENT19.

I’ve been pretty vocal about my efforts to try and shop sustainable first when it comes to adding to my wardrobe, and aside from Sezane, the LA-based brand Reformation had ranked quite highly on my list of brands to try this year. With room for one more summer wardrobe addition, and a gap in my closet for basic black skinny jeans, I thought what better opportunity to place my first order from Reformation. Wearing Reformation ‘peach’ dress, Everlane editor flats, Linjer cross body bag, Mejuri diamond necklace, editor hoops & pearl ring, Missoma interstellar necklace Given the Reformation experience is…
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a full face brand review, and after giving these products a fair go over the last couple of months, I finally wanted to talk through my thoughts. The brand in question is Tarte, a brand which heroes naturally-derived ingredients in their products, and avoids those chemical nasties like paragons, sodium lauryl sulphate and triclosan. My love for Tarte started a few years ago, when I placed my first order for one of their cult eyeshadow palettes, and it’s been on my radar ever since. So today I’m sharing a full review of a…
