Shein top (also love this!), Lover denim skirt (this is a great alternative) Lately, I’ve found myself gravitating to that simple palette of black and white, ever since my wardrobe clear out earlier this month. Instead of trying to throw in some print or colour, just for the sake of it, I’ve been opting for subtle – yet dramatic – touches to otherwise relaxed and easy silhouettes. Most days have been admittedly too hot for this little number, but I just love the interesting asymmetrical sleeve detail, and while it’s not quite Ellery, it’s currently been sating my appetite for…
image source; pompeli Finishing off the week with a little bit of pink door inspiration. I’m obsessed with this soft blush hue – it’s been all over my wardrobe lately, and it’s definitely been spilling over into other parts of our house over the last couple of months.

It’s fair to say that it’s been a journey – and not always an easy one. Which I think is why I look at the new year, 2017, as an opportunity to look forward; life is what you…
Over the weekend, I set aside my Sunday afternoon to tackle my wardrobe and give it a much needed clearout. Feeling once again inspired by Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, and a recent documentary Luke and I watched on minimalism, I spent a few hours sorting through the clothing rack in my study and the contents of (my half of) the closet in our bedroom, to whittle my wardrobe down to the pieces I always reach for; those wardrobe workhorses that are not only practical, but that also give me joy.
