Today’s outfit leans heavily on the concept or rule of thirds. Over the years I’ve found myself eschewing outdated fashion rules in favour of new ones, and this particular styling tool is one that will transform the way you look at your outfits (if you’re not using it already, that is). Wearing Tibi sweater (old); Karen Walker trousers; By Far slingback heels; O My Bag mini bucket bag (use code MADEMOISELLE10 for 10% off) What is the Rule of Thirds? The Rule of Thirds is a concept that comes up in architecture (hello golden ratio!), photography, art and film. The…
Sunday Riley Good Genes has something of a cult-like following. Other reviews that I’ve read have said things along the lines of: “holy grail status”, “completely lives up to the hype”, and “I’ve given up searching for a more affordable alternative”. After finishing up my first bottle of the good stuff, I have to agree. There are few products in my skincare routine which have almost instantaneous effects, but this is one of them. First, let’s chat about my skin type. I have relatively sensitive skin, and am prone to (undiagnosed) perioral dermatitis around my nose and chin. My complexion…
Public access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has now begun! If you haven’t had a chance to check out my guide for this years’ sale, I shared what I consider to be the best of the bunch in this post HERE. Today, I wanted to whittle it down even further, highlighting five of my favourites from the sale. #1 | La Ligne striped cotton sweaterWe can probably all agree that I don’t need another striped sweater, but if I were on the lookout, this striped mariniere from La Ligne would definitely be a contender. It’s 100% cotton which makes it…
I did a little call out on Instagram to see which item I should share how to style next, and the Sezane Loulou trousers came out on top. And I get the hype; if you’re after a wide leg trouser that will easily take you from work to weekend, these are it. They’re flattering too, which I assume is down to the high rise and side zip closure, removing any bulk from the front of the pant while adding the illusion of height. I’m wearing the Sezane Loulou trousers here in my usual size; AU8/US4/FR36. To me, they fit true…
A version of my current go-to outfit, and the items I find myself reaching for on days I don’t know what to wear. Nothing groundbreaking, especially considering when you dilute it down this is basically a t-shirt and jeans look. But details matter. How the t-shirt fits (these Ceres Life ones are my FAVE!); the relaxed trench coat; the crop of the jeans. Even something as simple as styling it up slightly with an oversized knit over the shoulders. Despite being “styled”, it’s pragmatic too. If I’m cold, I’ll throw this on with a little French tuck, and still feel…
