Sezane Milo Classic Bag Review

Sezane Milo Classic Bag Review

Today we’re chatting handbags. More specifically, the Sezane Milo Classic Bag; a mainstay of the brand, which recently got a modern update that immediately piqued my interest. The update was simple; the toggle closure (which felt a little too heritage for my usual style) was replaced with a brass clasp. Since adding it to my collection, it’s become something of a mainstay that I’ve found myself reaching for daily. And I wanted to give an update on wear and tear and overall thoughts. Let’s get into this Sezane Milo Classic Bag review. Wearing Diagonal knit* (10% off with mademoiselle2023); Facade…

How to refresh your closet without breaking the bank

How to refresh your closet without breaking the bank

A shift in season for me always signals that time to switch over my closet, giving some style staples that have been in “hibernation” another chance to shine. It also means taking time to rediscover your seasonal wardrobe, and perhaps consider a new purchase or two. So I thought today we could focus a little on some easy fashion hacks which will either cost you very little or nothing at all, to give some of your old clothes a new lease on life. Wearing Diagonal knit* (10% off with mademoiselle2023); Facade Pattern trousers* (10% off with mademoiselle2023); Sezane loafers; Oui…

A week of outfits with a blazer

A week of outfits with a blazer

You don’t have to school me on the timelessness of a blazer; for me, they’ve been a closet essential for over a decade.

No longer in my closet (fell victim to a ruthless closet purge), but one I think of fondly as it also marked the start of my journey of buying high quality, classic pieces. For me, their high status in my closet is marked by their utility and versatility. Clearly a focal…

Jeans and a Nice Top

Jeans and a Nice Top

This outfit is definitely not “jeans and a nice top”, but the recent conversation around the simple pairing that was the epitome of chic during my late teens has absolutely tickled me. Mostly because it’s had me reflecting on my own style evolution, and the memories associated with some of my more “out there” looks. Wearing Esse Studios dress; Mara & Mine sandals (brand is on hiatus but these are similar and cute!); Polene micro bag; Mejuri earrings While my taste has changed a lot since then, there’s one thing that hasn’t. My desire to maximise the utility of every…

A week of outfit combinations I’ll be wearing this season

A week of outfit combinations I’ll be wearing this season

My wardrobe is now fully unpacked, and almost all organised. Which has been exciting as I’ve been rediscovering some of my old favourites, while finding new ways to wear them. I’ve had some of my favourites tucked away in storage for almost two years now, so I’m rediscovering them; something I’m finding a lot of joy in from a sartorial perspective. This week, I’m sharing five types of outfit combinations I’m planning to wear on repeat this season. All simple, but for me a reflection of the mood I’m currently in. Think monochromatic outfits where I pair racerback tanks or…
