Witchery cable knit sweater, Lover jungle slither skirt, Cuyana leather tote bag The go-to. The ‘because it’s easy’, the ‘because I don’t want summer to end’, the ‘effortlessly thrown on before dashing out the door’. We all have them, those carefully calculated, easily put together looks. It becomes something of a uniform, worn in differing variations on a daily basis; broken down to its purest form it’s your signature, your look. For me, it’s the all too familiar cable knit sweaters, nonchalantly thrown over skirts, dresses – anything that hints of a winter well forgotten. Or if I’m truly being…
As with beauty, jewellery seldom gets a look in – with me at least. I’m always far too focused on buying those shoes I just have to have, or tracking down that Lover lace dress I’ve wanted for years.

You throw it on, and you know it’s going to work before you even look in the mirror – the kind of outfit you have as a back up for when all else fails. For me, it’s always dark denim with heeled boots and an oversized jumper of partially tucked in t-shirt, with a blazer if I’m planning on looking ‘smart’. Denim was among the many things that…

As if the shorter days and glistening layer of frost covering the grass every morning weren’t enough of a cue, it helps that the winter chill is really starting to bite, so much so that I’ve finally succumbed to the daily ritual of throwing on a coat (or a jacket at least!) before leaving the house. With the only coat left in my wardrobe going on three years old, now seems…
