The 30 Day Shopping Rule

Habits can be pretty difficult to break. That coffee we can’t start our mornings without, watching TV to fall asleep, or the habit of buying something new as a treat or ‘just because’… I’ve been pretty guilty of that last one, using shopping often as a way to escape problems, because I’m bored, or because I’ve seen an item everywhere and feel that I need to add it to my wardrobe. The last few years I’ve found myself on a journey to try and shift my relationship with shopping, so that I can stop using it as a crutch, and…

Everlane ‘90s Cheeky Straight Jean Review

In the past year, I’ve really ignited my love of denim; it’s gone from being something I wear over the weekend on occasion, to a wardrobe staple I reach for a few times a week at least. The skinny jean has always been my comfort zone, but in the spirit of trying new things, I found myself experimenting more with styles. Boyfriend fit, kick flare, and straight leg… which brings me to the jeans I wanted to talk about today: the Everlane ‘90s Cheeky Straight Jean.

All items marked “Key Style” plus those already on sale are included in the sale. A couple of stand outs…

Affordable Work Wardrobe Basics Under $150

Building up a work wardrobe can be a little intimidating, especially if you’re only just entering the professional workforce. I know at 22, I was still in the throes of figuring out my personal style, which can often feel a little at odds with dressing for the office. If you’ve got a slightly relaxed dress code, I think you can easily inject a bit of personality with colour and print (in small doses), otherwise in a conservative office, I’d suggest using specific tailoring and accessories to add a touch of your own personal style to your outfit. Wearing Madewell shirt…

20 ways to style a white shirt

One of the first things I think about when adding something new to my wardrobe is; how many ways can I wear this? As I’m trying to be more mindful about wardrobe additions across the board, versatility is becoming more and more important to me. I love a good pop of colour and a trendy silhouette as much as the next girl, but I’m more consumed with the search for styles that’ll stand the test of time, a classic white shirt being one of them. So today I wanted to share the latest video on my channel, where I run…
