How to perfect your autumn wardrobe

Brandy Melville linen tee (similar here), ASOS mom jeans, ASOS sunglasses, Zara pumps (similar here), Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel, Paul Hewitt watch Back when I lived in Wellington, every winter was a struggle – I never had anything to wear, and about 90% of my wardrobe was geared towards warmer weather. Fast forward a few years, and I’ve finally nailed down the keys to perfecting my autumn and winter wardrobes, with these three simple steps.

Byredo Mojave Ghost

Byredo Mojave Ghost

It’s not since I first discovered Viktor & Rolf’s ‘Flowerbomb’ as a girl barely out of university, that I’ve felt quite so smitten with a fragrance, but Mojave Ghost from Byredo has captivated my senses in a way that few other perfumes have. With a lingering floral sweetness and musky undertones, the scent is so full-bodied and rich, and the only perfume that’s currently made it into daily rotation – I am an all or nothing kind of girl, after all.

Autumn ’17 Wardrobe

Autumn ’17 Wardrobe

The weather has finally started to cool down a little, and I’ve been making full use of every excuse I can find to pull out some of my denim, and cosy winter knits. My current everyday staples have fallen into that easy – minimalist – colour palette of white, grey, and black; something which has made dressing so easy (if not somewhat formulaic). Cashmere, silk, cotton and wool are my textiles of choice, and I’m currently loving the option to throw a blazer or a trench coat on over my outfit – nothing like back-to-back heatwaves to have you craving…
