Since starting to share some of my weekly wardrobe edits, I’ve received a few questions about how I plan my outfits. I recently confessed that up until now, I’d been spontaneously putting together my outfits each morning. It’s something I’ve done for years, and there’s been more than one occasion where I’ve found myself changing multiple times before finally finding an outfit combination I actually like. While I’ve now given a loose structure to what I’m wearing each week, there’s still a large element of spontaneity. I’ve been selecting key pieces that I want to wear for the week ahead…
I love a good bit of retrospection, and as I’ve found myself reflecting on the items in my wardrobe that have managed to stand the test of time, I’ve also been thinking a bit about how my style has changed over the last five years.

Today’s post is for my friends in the Northern Hemisphere, who by now I suspect are finally in the throes of spring. Autumn and spring happen to be two of my favourite seasons style-wise.

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. Wearing Mango turtleneck top (also here),…
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,…
