The last outfit of summer

The last outfit of summer

ASOS crop top, Lover Jupiter midi skirt, Teddy Black ‘carla’ nano handbag, ASOS sunglasses, ASOS bow sandals It’s been a late start to Autumn, so I’ve been taking the slow approach with my capsule; I think we can all agree that nobody really wants to wear merino when it’s still tank top and shorts weather. As much as I love the summertime, I’m looking forward to layering, pulling out my winter boots on the daily, and reaching for my Acne Canada scarf as I rush out the door in the morning. I’m still fleshing out the remainder of my capsule,…

How to find your personal style

How to find your personal style

I think we’ve all been there; those transitional stages in life that are seemingly thrown at you, and have you asking yourself, ‘what do I wear?’. Moments like finishing university and transitioning into an office, or approaching motherhood after years spent wearing delicate silks and toting designer handbags. But it’s more than just not having anything to wear, and it goes beyond making a good first impression.

The essential black pair of heels

Valentino tango pumps, Isabel Marant poppy heels It’s highly likely that you’ve got a classic pair of black pumps tucked away in your closet. Of all the pieces in my essentials, this is the one which seems to just hit all the right notes regardless of style (unless you’re unable to wear heels, of course!). I tend to be more of a flats-kinda-gal these days, so I prefer a low block heel – comfort is absolutely key! But for those days where I want to step things up a notch, and really dress up an outfit, I opt for something…

Home details

source; pinterest In our living room, we have this spot, just in the corner, which is absolutely drenched in sunlight every afternoon. While not at the top of our priority list, I’ve been thinking that it would be the ideal location for a nice cosy armchair, particularly come wintertime, when all you want to do is curl up with a big cup of hot chocolate. Our home decor plans might be on hold, but that hasn’t stopped me from thinking about what else that we could add to bring a bit of extra homeliness to the space. Personally, I’m alllll…
