Renting may come with its freedoms, but one of the main things that really got me excited about buying our own home, was the chance to make it ours. Nails in walls where we wanted them, walls in muted colours, and decor that fit the aesthetic of the home that we were trying to create. Over the last few months, I’ve been keeping an eyes peeled for homewares and decor items that will truly make our house feel like a home. Perhaps the thing that really stopped me from investing too much in new decor while renting, was the unknown…
I’m probably not the only one who finds tracking down the perfect pair of work trousers to be a hard task. They’re either too big in the waist, too tight in the hips, or just hugely unflattering. I fell in love with the smart style ankle trousers from Uniqlo a couple of years back, but that was before we got a ragdoll cat… Wearing Joseph sweater, Everlane work pant in navy, FRANKiE4 ‘Jackie’ sneakers, Stella McCartney coat (affordable option here), Mighty Purse cross body bag, Linjer watch I’ve made a few efforts this year to try and seek out some…
I never used to like to challenge myself when travelling; I’d often be the girl with an enormous suitcase for a short stay, and couldn’t find the beauty – or comfort – in wearing the same thing more than once. It’s in stark contrast to my attitude towards packing now.

So, it only made sense that I try to minimise my packing list for my current week-long trip to New Zealand, despite anticipating that…
I thought I’d share a quick outfit post as the weekend comes to a close – in part, because it’s been a while since I shot what I was wearing in an ‘out and about’ setting. I wore this yesterday while we ran some errands – for me, maintaining my personal style while still feeling comfortable is really the key thing I look for when putting together an outfit, and this look seems to encapsulate the more relaxed vibe that I have been going for lately. Wearing Grana wrap front top, ASOS mom jeans, Mute by JL cashmere coat, Everlane…
As a little bit of a follow up to my post last week, where I shared some of my favourite picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I wanted to narrow it down to my top five, and expand on why they’re worth the investment in your wardrobe. As you know, I tend to focus a lot on the classics, but I still like to get them on sale where I can. I consider myself a pretty shrewd shopper (for the most part, at least), and I think if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, this is such a great chance…
