ASOS lace striped dress, Opening Ceremony heels (similar), Teddy Blake ‘carla’ nano Over the last couple of years, I’ve made the odd mention about my intentions to shop less, following the principle of quality over quantity. While I’m more than a little embarrassed at how much I actually shopped in 2013 and 2014, last year’s total was a little more manageable, and a big step in finally attaining that goal. For those even a little bit curious, I ended up with a total of 56 new items in my wardrobe last year – clothing, shoes, bags and accessories – with…

Do us part

Do us part

image source; nouba @ The Atrium So we’re a little under nine months away from the big day – wedding day, that is – and I’m already beginning to have nervous nightmares. From playlists which were never created, to a curious lack of any discernible menu, to rain pouring so hard that even the bravest of brides wouldn’t consider setting foot out the door.

From last year

Karen Walker blouse (similar), Ellery mini skirt (similar), Valentino Tango pumps, Proenza Schouler PS11 Satchel I’ve been spending a lot of the new year browsing through old photos, and stumbled across this snap from last year that I couldn’t help but share – especially given how light the outfit posts have been around here over the last year. Given I sold this skirt during the final days of 2015 via my Tictail, it’s a little bittersweet, but a reminder that photos can capture more than just a memory. Happy Sunday everyone!

The essential white shirt

The essential white shirt

Dries Van Noten shirt (similar), Lover lace skirt I doubt I even need to put into words why the humble white shirt is a cult classic that needs to be in your closet. Over owned them in many iterations over the years; with darts down the front (oh… the nineties..!), with bell flared sleeves, short sleeves, ties at the waist, with pockets and without. One thing that’s always remained clear, is that’s it is undeniably one of the most effortless ways to look chic – whether you’re preparing for a job interview, another day in the office, or a frenzied…
