Sharing some early winter styling inspiration this Monday morning. Thinking about the core items many of us have in our closet, styled up in chic, effortless variations. The best part is that this combination of pieces are easily interchangeable – one of the reasons I put so much emphasis on finding the right items for your personal style and your wardrobe. Good building blocks that can be styled up again and again. Basically, working to fight that feeling of having a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear. Which outfit is your favourite?

Of the seven (clothing) brands nestled under the H&M Group, Arket has to be my favourite. They’re positioned as more of an eco-conscious brand, with Scandic-chic timeless essentials. Think wardrobe basics in core neutrals with the occasional burst of colour, and high quality materials (which often includes recycled fibres). I recently placed an order for some new closet staples, and thought it was time to share an Arket Review for 2023 here on my blog. It’s worth noting that some of my most worn, most loved items are from the brand. And so far, so good. I’ve yet to be…
Time for another seasonal update on what was on heavy rotation. This time, for autumn. Or as I’ve been joking; autumn “lite”. It’s probably worth noting that it was milder than usual, and even now, into winter, I’m still heading out every other day with bare legs. One of the perks of living in Sydney; its mild climate.

While colour can be a factor, in my very neutral…
As I type this, I’m sitting here in a sleeveless top, with my ankles bared. Winter may have begun, but it’s yet to enter the chat. So for days when I’m in the mood for layering, I’m leaning on a transitional season favourite; the classic trench coat. I’ve got three styles here which lean a little more classic, but in a worsted wool with a soft fluid drape to it. If you’re a regular around here, then you’ll pick up on the usual styling tricks I feature weekly. Rule of thirds; colour balancing; tonal styling; blocks of colour; use of…
Seasonal beauty changeover has begun; opting for heavier scents, deeper lipsticks, and increasingly luscious creams (to combat winter dryness). Which gives you an insight into my three favourites of the month, which I’ve been using on repeat. Let’s dive in. Commodity Paper EDP (expressive) It’s during the winter that my bolder, headier fragrances really shine. Colder, darker days seem to call for warming scents, so anything that is earthy or woody tends to be my pick. I’ve been enjoying Commodity’s Paper (expressive), which works well as a unisex scent. Very musky, with key notes of Iso E Super, Cedarwood and…
