The 12 Item Work Wardrobe

There’s a saying, less is more, and what I’ve come to find over the years of refining my wardrobe, is that this is resoundingly true when it comes to style. I may have chosen to give up the capsule wardrobe, but quality over quantity is still at the forefront of mind, particularly when it comes to building a work wardrobe. So today, I wanted to talk through what I call the 12 item work wardrobe; that is, the 12 pieces that combined, make up a versatile and interchangeable collection of outfits for the office (and don’t eat into your budget…

How to balance blogging when you have a full time job

Chances are, I’m probably not the first blogger you’ve stumbled across with a ‘traditional’ 9 to 5 job, and I doubt that I’ll be the last. As much as blogging has become a powerhouse industry of its own, there are plenty of people out there – like me! – who juggle the responsibilities of managing an online space, with the day-to-day pressures of their full-time job.

Why I’ve invested in a transitional jacket for Spring

Why I’ve invested in a transitional jacket for Spring

Assembly Label sweater (similar option here), J Crew denim skirt (also love this one), Workshop jacket in camo (more affordable here), Everlane oxfords, HiEleven bag The transition from winter to summer is always one of my favourites, as I love the opportunity to bare some leg, while still being able to comfortably throw on a few layering pieces. It’s the perfect time to not only trial out a few new silhouettes or layering techniques, and have a bit of fun with your style staples. Leaning more towards what I’d consider to be classic ‘Parisian’ silhouettes, one of the key additions…

hop & cotton: the customised skincare brand you need to know about

Skincare; it’s one of the few facets of our lives that doesn’t have a ‘one size fits all approach’. What works for my skin, won’t necessarily work for yours, and vice versa. So, when I had the opportunity to learn about the recently launched fully customisable skincare brand*, hop & cotton, I jumped at the chance. As someone who loves to try out new beauty products as much as the next girl, I have to tackle most additions to my skincare and beauty regime with caution – the wrong serum can have me breaking out in areas I’ve never had…
