If you caught my most recent YouTube upload, then you’ve probably already gotten a glimpse at this outfit. But, I thought I’d share a quick download of it anyway. Wearing Boden stripe top; Among shorts; Oliver Cabell flats (review here); Quince crossbody bag; PORTRAIT Eyewear sunglasses I’ve been doing two things when putting together outfits lately. Thinking about proportion and shape, and also drawing inspiration from style icons. In this case, Audrey Hepburn. Stripes are a total classic, and I love this navy and white striped mariniere from Boden. I sized up for more of a relaxed fit, and I’m…
I love good basics, and I especially love good basics done well. Even better if its at a price that doesn’t break the bank, so I’m always on the lookout for new brands which will give my old favourites a run for their money. And when I stumbled across Quince, I *knew* it wouldn’t be long before I ended up with some of their basics in my closet. To get a good measure of the brand, I purchased a few items across their silk, knitwear and accessories collections. And I’ve got some thoughts. So today’s going to be a full…
Two things you’ve been seeing me wear a lot lately? Wide or straight leg trousers, and an abundance of neutral tones. This is what I wore yesterday… always a risk as whenever I wear white, I spend the whole day trying to avoid little grubby fingers.

I feel like I’m having a bit of a Sezane moment right now. In addition to ticking off a couple items on my seasonal wishlist from their Spring collection, I also recently purchased a handful of “basics” from their winter capsule. One thing I wanted to mention… While I try to take a slower approach when adding new items to my wardrobe, I find that Sezane pieces tend to sell out fast. Clearly they have a marketing strategy which works. So I’ll typically condense the consideration period by scrutinising their lookbooks in the days leading up to launch, add items…
I always find it hard to sleep this time of year. It’s coming up on six years since I lost my mum, and instead of falling asleep from exhaustion the moment my head hits the pillow, my brain is wired, thinking about everything from a full home renovation we have planned for this year, to ways I want to improve my wardrobe. So in that vein, let’s talk about some style shifts for 2021; ways my style is continuing to evolve, that I’m planning to lean into over the next 10.5 months.
