My husband and I adore the south coast. Having previously stayed at Bangalay Luxury Villas (which we loved), we knew we couldn’t pass up the chance to stay at their sister site, Anglesea by Bangalay, should the opportunity arise. My sister’s wedding, in Berry, presented the perfect opportunity as we were also travelling with my in-laws and needed a place to stay that would accommodate six of us. OUR STAY AT ANGLESEA BY BANGALAY As anticipated, the accommodation was inviting, cosy, and coastal. A natural reflection of the surrounding environment, with a view out to the water from the upstairs…
Sharing some workwear outfit inspiration for my Northern Hemisphere friends. One of my typical winter styling tricks for when it’s really cold, is to opt for (chic) base layers that are cut close to the body. These from COS are a personal favourite and come in a few different colours. A great jacket or knit worn over the top to complete the look, which you can easily de-layer if needed.

Came across these photos from an outfit I wore shortly after my trip to Dallas in September, and realised I’d completely forgotten to share them.

Perhaps the favourite aspect of this outfit for me, is…
Proving to be the most influential factor in informing my wardrobe additions; it’s texture. Items with some sort of tactile quality have been top of mind, in part because I think many of those wardrobe basics lists (that my closet is full of), tend to fall a bit flat. Lacking in excitement, but laden with versatility. Perspectives around what constitutes a “wardrobe basic” has shifted in the past two years. Moving away from static, inflexible lists, to have a stronger focus on what you personally wear on repeat. This is to say, just because a wardrobe basics lists states you…
I’m convinced that no one does knitwear quite like Jenni Kayne. The brand is the epitome of California cool; laid-back living. And the clothing truly reflects that. Of everything I’ve tried, it’s always the knitwear for me. I’ve tried out quite a few of the brand’s classic knits, so wanted to share a Jenni Kayne sweater review, chatting through the pros and cons of each piece, along with sizing information, and wear and tear.
