I’m currently on countdown until I dive into the French Wardrobe challenge, which will see me focus on adding just five key pieces to my closet per season. It’s that strict focus on what is truly essential that has gotten me thinking a lot about what’s missing from my personal style, if anything at all. I’m a maker of lists, and I find it’s the simplest way to keep my resolve and my mission on track. So, I’ve started a running list at the back of my notebook, where I’ve been jotting down style essentials that I feel I’m currently…
My wardrobe and style journey has been fraught with indecision. I’ll be the first to admit it, as my fickle-minded self has ping-ponged from wanting a bare bones wardrobe, to lusting for more choice and freedom.

It always astonishes me just how quickly Christmas creeps up on you, especially once we’ve reached the mid-point of the year, and 2018 has been no exception. This year, we’re hosting Christmas at our place, and it’s going to be a special one as it’s the first Christmas I’ll be spending with my dad, stepmom, brother and sister.
