I’m not shy about my love for the marinere; or striped knit sweater. This particular “closet staple” because a wardrobe must-have during my early days of exploring my personal style; heavily influenced by listicles of what one would find in a “typical” Parisian wardrobe. And it’s endured, no matter what direction my style has shifted in. Modernised in some ways, but no matter the style or silhouette, even the most basic striped sweater feels current. Wearing H&M striped sweater (love this one too!); Everlane skinny jeans; Vaneli two tone pumps; Acne Studio mini musubi bag One of my personal favourites,…
Last night, realisation set in that autumn is only a week away; at least by our Antipodean seasonal calendar. While I don’t expect temperatures to start cooling until sometime in late March or early April, my computer tabs would usually be heavy on autumnal pieces; chunky knits, new coats to lust after, black leather boots, scarves. Essentially my version of grasping at the opportunity to layer, well before it’s realistically feasible. Wearing Ceres Life knitted tee; Toteme jeans; Low Classic coat; autt bag; Linjer ring; About Arianne shoes Likely a side effect of my low buy, but I haven’t felt…
At some point over the past fortnight, I found myself trawling through saved archives on old hard drives, filled with websites I’d built from scratch, and outfits I’d shared on my very first fashion blog. Wearing Toteme top; Arket denim shorts; YSL slides (affordable option); Acne mini musubi bag (review here); Linjer earrings One of the things that struck me was how I used many of the same principles 15 years ago, that I do now. But with a slightly more feminine flair. Unsurprising that my favourite way of dressing – with monochromatic tendencies – has been a running thread.…
Happy Monday! I thought we’d kick off the week with a very quick round up of some recent outfits and looks that I’ve shared over on my Instagram. Wearing Jenni Kayne knit; Facade Pattern trousers (extra 10% off site wide with code “Mademoiselle2022”); Vaneli two tone pumps; Oroton bag The first outfit to share is one I wore a couple weeks’ ago. I awoke, and seeing the weather was reasonably mild, eagerly pulled out one of my knits. Definitely a little presumptuous of me. I think I lasted all of five minutes before I took it back a layer to…
Sezane continues to be one of those brands that I have my eye on (despite my current low buy). Naturally, I was excited to see what the brand had in store for spring. As anticipated, there’s lots of pretty florals, soft pastels, and the return of many of the brand’s classic styles. So I wanted to run through the Sezane Spring 2022 collection and highlight some of my top picks. AKA what I’d be swiftly adding to cart. Sezane Marguarita Dress I often used to joke that there wasn’t a polka dot I met that I didn’t like. And while…
