Bringing back the weekly wishlist this Friday, and with Valentine’s Day coming up, jewellery seemed like the natural choice to discuss. There’s a few key brands I tend to wear on the daily; for me, I like a good mix of dainty and slightly more substantial pieces. But always, in styles which feel timeless and won’t date. Basically, I want to be adding pieces to my jewellery box that I’ll be content to wear for years (and years) to come. I spotted that Monica Vinader have a great sale on right now. You can get 20% off everything, or 25%…
Maybe we can put it down to two years of pandemic fatigue, or perhaps it’s just a desire to break out of the mould of my current wardrobe. But… I’ve found myself inexplicably drawn to colour of late. It started with earthy tones; for my closet and personal style, a true natural progression from the core basics in my closet consisting mostly of black, white and grey.

Instead of my usual weekly outfit wrap ups, I wanted to try out a new format on my YouTube channel; a look at a handful of outfits I wore over the course of the month which I felt really good in.

Wearing natural fabrics is key, and as much as I love a midi or maxi length dress, minis and shorts have reigned supreme. Unless the air con…
One thing I’ve been harping on about a lot recently is balance. Proportions. Interesting silhouettes. For me, it’s a way to make my relatively “simple” wardrobe feel fresh and interesting. Create intrigue and newness from what I already own. Wearing Uniqlo U knit tank (or similar here); Ganni shorts; Tibi blazer (affordable alternative here); YSL slides; Celine trio; Linjer earrings; Mejuri necklace; Rosefield watch Rules might be there to be broken, but I do find myself leaning on them a lot when getting dressed. Using them as a guide to incorporate those elements most important to me in an outfit…
One month down into my six month low buy, and I wanted to get into the habit of mirroring my updates on my YouTube Channel here on my blog. Just like in my video update, I’m going to split this post into a few key topics; shopping triggers, things that have been giving me joy, what I bought and how I spent my January budget, what gifting I received, and ending on some thoughts about the quiet luxury “trend”. SHOPPING TRIGGERS Historically, when I look over my purchases from the past five years, there’s a key trend. I shop the…
