Cliches about being a creature of habit aside, my summer style is wholly uncomplicated. Unfussy tiered midi or maxi dresses, effortlessly paired with some slip on slides. Wearing Alessandra Cashmere navy tiered dress; Spurr black slides; Reliquia earrings; Linjer Lana bag After two months of feeling “lost” and at odds with what to wear, I’m finally starting to find my groove. I reflected on this a little late last year, but ultimately what it involved was some small tweaks to my pre-pregnancy personal style. Fabrications being a big one. Lightweight cottons and breezy linens that can just be thrown in…
The last thing I wanted to look back on from 2020, was beauty. And what I considered to be the best of beauty, of all the products I tried. In previous years, I approached this by choosing my favourite product per category. But I realised, that’s not really how we look at the products we use or have stashed in our vanity. We have a handful of favourites. Sometimes we switch between brands, depending on the season or what we’re trying to achieve. Below you’ll find mini-reviews for all the products I absolutely loved in 2020. Some new, some old.…
How is it almost the end of January already? I started this year with the best of intentions to share my yearly wrap ups early. However other demands – like looking after our little one, and the launch of Mīere – have taken priority. Today, I wanted to focus on my most worn items for 2020. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, then you’ll know that I do a seasonal review, looking back at what I wore the most. And it’s not just what I think I wore the most. I have a (rather rudimentary) spreadsheet which…
Today’s outfit is dedicated to easy summer dressing. A one and done outfit that requires little thinking beyond how to accessorise it. If it’s not clear from this summer and last, I love a good cotton tiered midi (or maxi). Wearing MLM Label Flora Midi Dress; Saint Laurent slides (great affordable dupe here); Linjer crossbody bag; Missoma earrings; Muru Jewellery necklace The one I’m wearing above is from MLM Label, and what sets it apart are the adjustable straps at the back (which can be worn crossed over, too!), and the waist tie to cinch it in. Makes me feel…
A lot of my recent purchases have been driven by something of a re-imagining of my personal style. For 2020 I attempted to set a style manifesto, and it wasn’t until late in the year that I realised my attempts were futile. I was still figuring out how my personal style fit in with my new identity as a mum, and it’s come with some changes. Mostly subtle, but it has changed how I look at the items I wore pre-pregnancy. Wearing Aere the Label maxi dress in size AU8 Not exactly breastfeeding-friendly, but this beautiful linen maxi dress is…
