It’s a little over a month and a half ago that I started the Project 333 challenge, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to share how I’ve been tracking the last six weeks with a capsule wardrobe. There’s that completely overused phrase, ‘less is more’, but I do think that there’s a huge amount of basis to that way of thinking. Less furniture, less crockery, less cookware, less make up, less clothing, less shoes; you get the idea. It simplifies things in absolutely every single way.

Gemma Ward, MBFWA Day 1 I thought I’d get the ball rolling with Gemma – undeniably my favourite from day one.

For the Project 333 Wardrobe Challenge, I placed a huge emphasis on selecting pieces which were undeniably simple, worked with the majority of what…
It’s taken me almost a year, but I’ve finally managed to work my way through a tube of Aesop’s Resurrection hand balm. Like any beauty product which finds itself tucked away in the folds of my handbag, it has been very well loved, if not occasionally forgotten – it can be a black hole in there occasionally.
