Karen Walker slanting frill top (similar), Lover the Label lace pencil skirt Over the last couple of months I have been slowly making my way through my list of wardrobe essentials, and today I’m talking about a classic; the pencil skirt. While it’s fair to probably say that pencil skirts are generally reserved for the office, I’ve found mine to be a key piece that I reach for over the weekend too – it’s the perfect piece for dressing up an otherwise casual look. It was one of the first things that I added to my wardrobe at 17 when…
If there’s one thing that you’ll have noticed about me, it’s when I find a brand I like, it sticks. Cutting back my closet over the years, I’ve garnered a pretty good understanding of what I do, and what I don’t like, and I’ve found that I tend to stick to the comforts of a brand I know, over the ones which feel… unfamiliar. I’ve read enough to know that the general consensus is that brand loyalty just isn’t for millenials, but in my personal experience, that has been far from the case. The first brands I truly *discovered* as…
T by Alexander Wang stripe dress, c/meo Collective cardigan, Valentino tango pumps, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel As you’ll probably know, it’s not often that you’ll catch me in anything that hugs the body quite so much as this little number from T by Alexander Wang, but those stripes just had me at hello. It’s definitely a little shorter than I’m used to, but I think it makes for a nice change of pace, and is one of the newer additions to my wardrobe that is helping to keep things fresh. And if anything, it’s a reminder to continue to step…
I’m a good month and a half into my autumn capsule wardrobe now, and so I thought it was time to give a little update on how it’s been going. I’ve finally rounded out my capsule to a total of 30 pieces, favouring the classics over anything particularly trend-driven. Combining a capsule wardrobe with the 5PFW Challenge means that there isn’t quite as many new pieces – or standouts – coming into my wardrobe, which is both a blessing and a curse at the same time. I’d say for the last six months or so, I’ve been feeling a certain…
From l to r: Viva Glam (L), Shanghai Spice (C), Runway Hit (RM), Velvet Teddy (M), Cosmo (A), Twig (S), Craving (A), Positively Dashing (PLL), Dozen Carnations (C) I’ve become quite the makeup junkie as of late, and while I try to whittle down my wardrobe – as much as humanly possible! – my makeup collection just seems to keep growing; apparently my love of lipsticks knows no bounds. I think we can all agree, my love affair with anything beauty-related has been short and sweet so far, but my foray into the real world of makeup began years ago…
