A week of outfits with denim shorts

If I could use one word to sum up the weather from the past week, it’d be balmy. Hot, sticky, with a constant warm breeze wafting through the house. A nice break from all the wet weather we’ve had of late, and also finally gave me the excuse to properly dust off my stash of denim shorts. I tend to rely on denim as a year round basic; jeans during the cooler months, and an a-line denim short when it’s hot. The difference between the two seasons being the way getting dressed makes me feel. Having the ability to layer…

OOTD: Wearing Venroy knitted two-piece set

You know that feeling when a parcel arrives, and you immediately have to tear open the contents and throw it on your body? Well, that was me with this knitted two-piece set from Venroy*. For one, I love the ease of anything knitted. And that it can convey a sense of comfort, while still looking chic and elevated. But also, I see these two pieces as being incredibly versatile. A stunning little combo when worn together – revealing the smallest sliver of skin with the occasional movement. But equally, I’m just as excited to wear them as separates. In particular,…

Time for one of my regular Sezane wish lists… Weeks of rain seems to have reignited my excitement for A/W dressing, to the point where I’m not quite ready to tuck away my knitwear. And I have a couple of coats on standby, just in case. As usual, it was pretty hard to narrow down my picks; the entire Sezane A/W ’22 collection is right up my alley. Here are my five favourites… Sezane Marc Coat If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s coat season. Arguably one of the best times of year to get dressed. Despite living in a…

That one outfit combination you can always rely on…

Let’s call this my “get-ready-in-less-than-two-minutes” outfit. Reliable, practical, and always chic, you can count on the French to have a style uniform that not only looks effortless, but actually is.  Wearing Uniqlo striped top (size S or alternative here); AERE trousers (size AU8); About Arianne ballet flats (size EU40); Acne Studios mini musubi bag (10% off with JAMIEFF10); The Row black knit (size S) If there’s one thing that has been a steady constant in my outfits, it’s been the reliance on stripes as a “neutral”. During my my experimental days, I’d pair them with other patterns like florals or…
