Silk slip skirts are one of those “style essentials” you’ll see on lists for building your wardrobe. And while I don’t think that these are hard and fast templates for building up a wardrobe from scratch, I can’t deny that personally for me, they’re a big yes (for you, it might be a different cut in a different fabrication, or, no skirt at all). Combined with the trend towards 90s minimalism, hem lengths have dropped in favour of the maxi. Long and lean silhouettes. So today we’re going to chat through how to style a maxi slip skirt three ways.…
No beauty brand has captured my heart in recent years quite like MERIT Beauty. Their minimal, simplified approach to makeup felt refreshing. At a time when I was craving less, and wanted products that enhanced rather than concealed in that overly done up way. Quite a few of their products are on heavy rotation for my daily routine (post soon incoming), but the one I really wanted to talk about? The MERIT Solo Shadow. Perhaps one of their most highly anticipated launches, the second it dropped in 2023 I knew I had to try these out. I’ve spent years trying…
The internet has gone crazy for what is being tipped as a more modern, and less expensive alternative to the Hermes Birkin. Vogue called it “an heirloom bag in the making”. Functionally and aesthetically serving something quite similar to the Birkin. And it ties into broader trends that we’re seeing right now centred around power dressing, and a nod to collegiate prep.

An outfit will feel “done” when it’s made up of three main components. You’ll have heard of this concept many times, referred to as the rule of thirds, or the golden ratio. Prevalent in all visual aspects of our lives, and commonly used in photography, the arts, and architecture. It’s one of the reasons why summer dressing feels less than satisfying. There’s this sense that something is missing. Because when it’s 35 deg…
At this point, my love of ballet flats spans decades. So to find that a style I deem to be a “classic” wardrobe staple is trending feels like a boon when shopping. Look at all the choices, price points, colours! Up for discussion today, as a follow on from this post last week, is a review of the Margaux Demi Flats. Hopefully, if you’re thinking of buying a pair, you’ll find this helpful. I have wider feet, and a bunion on my left foot so comfort is a pretty high priority when I’m buying new shoes. Gone are the days…
