Whenever I’m considering a new wardrobe purchase, a few questions cross my mind. Do I like the fit? How does the fabric feel? Does the colour work within my existing wardrobe? Is it within my budget (and what I’m willing to pay)? Is it reflective of my actual life, or a fantasy self purchase? But the one question that will always seal the deal? Can I put together five outfits that I would realistically wear. Because coming up with five outfits might not necessarily be the challenge, even if we might not actually reach for that specific combination in our…
As we all seek out tricks to express our visual voice in new and interesting ways, I wanted to share a style tip which is easy to implement and can have maximum impact. Opting for the unexpected choice. Wearing Kowtow dress; Kindersalmon trench coat* (10% off with mademoiselle2023); Jenni Kayne sweater*; Arket bag; Oliver Cabell sneakers; Linjer moonstone & sunstone ring*; Mejuri black heart necklace* Using this outfit I’m wearing as an example, you can see it leans decidedly classic and feminine. We have the white cotton poplin dress with tiered pleats. An oversized trench coat in a neutral beige…
Forever in my “all neutrals” era, though the thing my eye is drawn to most here is the simple styling. I’ve had a bit of a dialogue lately around fit, and how we’re seeing a shift back towards slimmer proportions.

When we do crave comfort, it’s in less of a slouchy, oversized kind of way. I do love a bit of proportion play – time and a place –…
One thing I was reflecting on recently, is how our beauty routine ebbs and flows. From an elaborate multi-step regime, to one that is pared back. Minimal even. And right now, I’m finding myself in the latter camp. Less desire to try or use new products, instead focusing on a handful of core staples. Seeking out something new to try only when an empty pops up rather than on a whim like before. It reminds me a lot of my routine in my late teens and early twenties. Prior to discovering the world of skincare. Despite not having a robust…
A love letter marrying my ideal winter colour palette and obsession with tonal outfits, this time focused on workwear. I’ve been saying for more than a decade now how what I add to my closet should do “double” – or even triple – duty. Multi-functional wardrobe separates are the key, as well as opting for items that don’t scale too high on the formality chart. For example, outfit one, could be dressed up further with a sharp blazer. Or equally dressed down with a pair of sneakers, and maybe another knit thrown over the shoulders (as we do love that…
