One of the things that makes autumn/winter fashion so fun is all the texture. But also, the chance to play with items in our closet that are a little bit more off-beat. That have some friction to them, or elements that make you do a double take (the Margiela Tabi’s being case-in-point here). Longer hemlines which you can wear with loose knits look less sloppy than their summer equivalent, and the chance to muck around with a bit more of my closet has been a welcome departure from what has been a daily uniform of denim shorts and a tank…
Over the years, I’ve spoken at length about why I love the transitional seasons. Cross-pollinating your summer and winter wardrobes for the perfect blend. I tend to find it’s a good opportunity to get a true sense of which style favourites are more than just a seasonal crush. As in, which ones can be worn year round with a little layering or styling. Wearing Blanca shirt; Re Rhee shorts (10% off with mademoiselle2023); Saben coco bag (15% off with JAMIELOVESSABEN) Not a new concept – and perhaps one I’ve mentioned in the past – but I was reflecting on how…
Reunited with my knitwear stash, or more broadly speaking my entire wardrobe. Post-move, and currently in organisation mode, as I sort through things that have been tucked away for six months or more. Some, closer to two years; items I packed away in haste or that I didn’t want to have “taunting” me from my closet during pregnancy. So this week, I’ve opted to pull out five knits that I’m looking forward to having on rotation this autumn. Some colour, but mostly classic styles in cosy cashmere. Any particular ones that you recognise? OUTFIT #1 | Nothing Written sweater (10%…
There’s a backlog of outfits I’ve worn recently, that I’ll probably lump together in a singular post. But for today, I wanted to break down this cosy autumnal outfit I wore in late February for a day of work, and to meet up with my friend Rose for coffee. Sydney was unseasonably cold; usually I’d expect my sweaters to be on hiatus until at least April, but the weather called for it, and I was more than happy to oblige. This one is a cotton cocoon sweater from Jenni Kayne (15% off sitewide with code JamieLee15), which has a super…
Parisian style outfits; at least, the outfits that we most commonly associate with the French, will always be my go-to this time of year. Effortless and chic, they are simple at their core. And typically made up of styles you’re likely to have some form of in your closet already. Excellent. For me, this interpretation usually looks a little something like this. Stripes, two-tone pumps, neutral tones, ballet flats and trench coats. Which of these outfits would you wear? OUTFIT #1 | Jenni Kayne striped knit (15% off with JamieLee15); Facade Pattern trousers (10% off with mademoiselle2023); About Arianne ballet…
