My love of the culotte is no secret; in the space of a year it’s gone from a style I’ve chosen to largely steer clear of, to a style favourite and wardrobe essential. My hesitation to add this particular style of trouser definitely stemmed from the fact that I was largely at a loss of how to style them. These days, I’m on the other side of the fence (I sort of think, how wouldn’t I style them?!), so I thought I’d share my most recent video, which features three ways to wear culottes. After a little bit of experimentation,…
J Crew sweater, Blank NYC skinny jeans (also here), Wilson Trollope coat, Two tone pumps (I also love these), Elleme raisin bag in vieux rose*, Mademoiselle X Mejuri loop earrings It’s no secret that winter is my least favourite season – I’d rather be soaking up some sunshine than wrapping up in layers to battle (arctic) gusts of wind. So in an ode to my spring/summer preferences, I’ve been trying to soften up my winter wardrobe’s colour palette, with a few key pieces. Let’s start with my coat; I wore this in a recent blog post where I was brave…
I’ve been thinking a lot about my consumption lately, and more so, just how many new things I seem to have bought in the last six months alone. While I’m no minimalist by any means (and I doubt I ever will be!), I’m firmly of the thought that we should only own what we love, and that this should fit within our means; both financially, and from the perspective that we can only consume so much. So when I read an article last weekend about the buy nothing diet, it really struck a chord. One of the key things that…
Ever since paring back my closet, starting my very first capsule wardrobe, and being more mindful of what I add to my closet, I’ve focused on trying to build up a healthy stable of style staples: those easy go-to pieces I can reach for in a pinch. For years, this has mostly revolved around separates; the kind that you’d find on any top ten wardrobe essentials list, that give you a classic look, yet can be mixed and matched at the same time. If it wasn’t versatile by any traditional means, I didn’t need it. Though as I’ve tried to…
Today I thought I’d share a little bit of style inspiration in lieu of an outfit post; a simple look with a colour palette that has been right up my street lately, and some minimal details with classic sensibilities. I’ve got some really great ideas for subjects that I want to tackle in the coming weeks, months, and year, though trying to upload fresh original blog content every two days, and filming two videos a week while working a full time job can be pretty exhausting (as you can imagine!). I mean, what is work-life balance, right? So if you…
