From the humble white cotton shirt, to a slim fitting pair of trousers, the foundation of my wardrobe is built upon those classics which truly do stand the test of time. And when it comes to getting dressed every morning, I like to take a simple approach; muted colour palettes and streamlined silhouettes, which on their own, complete the perfect minimal look. But for those days when I really want to amp up my outfit a notch, there are five simple accessories I’ll reach for, that never fail to elevate a look. 1. A chic sun hat or felted fedora…
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.

‘Beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost’. In many ways, much of our lives these last few years have changed. We’ve moved country, started new jobs, gotten engaged, suffered the enormity of losing someone very dear to me, moved house, brought two wonderful animals into our lives, travelled overseas, gotten married, and most recently, celebrated the start of a new year.
