Weekly Wishlist: Reformation

Ending the week with some items I’ve recently saved to my bookmarks from Reformation. It’s been a while since I purchased anything from the brand, and safe to say that I’ve been tempted to spend some of my monthly budget there. So let’s chat about what I’ve been wish-listing, and why (PS. the above image is fully shoppable).  1 | Reformation Glenna Cashmere SweaterOne thing I’ve realised with my wishlist picks is I often tend to play it safe. Silhouettes I know I’ll feel comfortable in; usually ones that are already in abundance in my closet. So, you’ll probably recognise…

Beauty, lately (Feb ’22)

Beauty, lately (Feb ’22)

Time for a mid-week beauty chat, I think. I’ve really tapered things back of late, as my key focus for 2022 is to let my skin shine. It’s surprising even to me, but I think I can count the number of days I’ve worn any kind of “base” this year on my two hands. Good skincare has really been my #1. So, let’s dive in, and chat through the new products I’ve had on regular rotation since December.  MAKEUP Merit Flush Balm Cheek Blush in ‘Terracotta’ | Merit Beauty has been on my hit list to try for some time…

February Outfits of the Month

February Outfits of the Month

I thought we’d start off the week wrapping up some of my favourite outfits that I wore for the month of February. Similar to January, I’ve been putting a heavy focus on natural fibres. Wearing easy separates, or opting for a simple sun dress. Effortless dressing this time of year is key. Though it’s safe to say I’m hanging out for the opportunity to really start layering up at this point. As much as I love the summer months, it often feels a little lacking in the style stakes; I mean… a crop top or strappy cami and shorts starts…

Designer Dupes: YSL Tribute Slides & Gucci Jordaan Loafers

Designer Dupes: YSL Tribute Slides & Gucci Jordaan Loafers

One thing I always – always – say is that you can find good quality at every price. And, I’m usually on a mission to figure out how to make my budget stretch further; whether that be by shopping pre-loved, hanging out for a sale, or trying to get the “look” for less. Today, I wanted to focus on the latter of the three. Getting the look for less. More specifically so, the designer look of the YSL Tribute Slides and the Gucci Jordaan Loafers. I own both pairs in my closet, so I thought it’d be useful to show…

Affordable Striped Sweaters

Affordable Striped Sweaters

I’m not shy about my love for the marinere; or striped knit sweater. This particular “closet staple” because a wardrobe must-have during my early days of exploring my personal style; heavily influenced by listicles of what one would find in a “typical” Parisian wardrobe. And it’s endured, no matter what direction my style has shifted in. Modernised in some ways, but no matter the style or silhouette, even the most basic striped sweater feels current. Wearing H&M striped sweater (love this one too!); Everlane skinny jeans; Vaneli two tone pumps; Acne Studio mini musubi bag One of my personal favourites,…
