A week of outfit ideas for May

A week of outfit ideas for May

I don’t have too much to say today; perhaps a result of weariness due to early morning wake ups (those with young kids will relate), and recurring tonsillitis. But, I suppose the one thing that always seems to remain steadfast is my love of dressing up (and of playing dress ups). This collection of outfits is a reflection of key pieces that are exciting me right now, and just general styling that is reflected in much of what I wear day-to-day. For the most part, clothing that is easy to move around in, but overall, makes me feel good, regardless…

Saben Odile Crossbody Bag Review – 12 Month Wear & Tear Update

Saben Odile Crossbody Bag Review – 12 Month Wear & Tear Update

At this point, my love of Saben’s beautiful, exceptionally crafted bags is no secret. And, I’ve been meaning to share some insights into how my bags have worn given they’ve been on pretty high rotation over the past 12 months. I thought we could start with a Saben Odile Crossbody Bag Review which I own in the black, but that you’ll also see featured in the “Gotham grey” hue, a lovely desaturated green-grey shade.  Use code JAMIELOVESSABEN for 15% off full priced bags Before I dive into it, a quick disclaimer; I do work with Saben on a monthly basis…

Ten ways to wear a black straight leg trouser

Aside from the humble t-shirt, there’s no item more versatile than the black trouser. It’s an all-seasons piece, plus this year-round workhorse can easily be styled up for work, dinner and play. Basically, I’m yet to find an occasion these don’t seem to be appropriate for (well, except for the gym…). Championing the versatility of my favourite wardrobe staples, I thought it would be fun to share with you not just five, but ten ways to style these wool drawstring waist trousers from Arket. These, along with a cropped pair from Facade Pattern have been on high rotation in my…

Sezane Spring/Summer Collection Review 2023

Sezane Spring/Summer Collection Review 2023

My love for Sezane is nothing new; since discovering the brand six years ago, I’ve gone on to place multiple orders, adding many of their beautiful, feminine and delightfully French silhouettes to my closet. And of late, I’ve been having a renewed moment with the brand. So today I wanted to review some recent purchases from Sezane’s Spring/Summer Collection. We’ll be chatting through eight items; knitwear, dresses, shoes, and a full suit. I’ll share sizing and fit information, plus my thoughts on the items IRL. By the way, if you’ve had your eye on the Milo Classic Bag, you might…

Beauty Top 3: Apr ’23

Beauty Top 3: Apr ’23

Usually around this time of year, I’d be looking to start my seasonal beauty swap over. Choosing slightly heavier or richer formulations over my lighter, high rotational skincare favourites of the warmer months. This “a-ha” moment came to me a couple of years ago, and I haven’t looked back. It’s helped me to understand why some products were hyper-effective the initial time I used it (in the right season for it), but would break me out when I’d continue to use it as the seasons changed. But, it’s still so warm here in Sydney, that I’ve found myself stretching out…
