Style updates for autumn

Last night, realisation set in that autumn is only a week away; at least by our Antipodean seasonal calendar. While I don’t expect temperatures to start cooling until sometime in late March or early April, my computer tabs would usually be heavy on autumnal pieces; chunky knits, new coats to lust after, black leather boots, scarves. Essentially my version of grasping at the opportunity to layer, well before it’s realistically feasible. Wearing Ceres Life knitted tee; Toteme jeans; Low Classic coat; autt bag; Linjer ring; About Arianne shoes Likely a side effect of my low buy, but I haven’t felt…

On reflection

At some point over the past fortnight, I found myself trawling through saved archives on old hard drives, filled with websites I’d built from scratch, and outfits I’d shared on my very first fashion blog. Wearing Toteme top; Arket denim shorts; YSL slides (affordable option); Acne mini musubi bag (review here); Linjer earrings One of the things that struck me was how I used many of the same principles 15 years ago, that I do now. But with a slightly more feminine flair. Unsurprising that my favourite way of dressing – with monochromatic tendencies – has been a running thread.…

I awoke, and seeing the weather was reasonably mild, eagerly pulled out one of my knits. Definitely a little presumptuous of me. I think I lasted all of five minutes before I took it back a layer to…

Sezane continues to be one of those brands that I have my eye on (despite my current low buy). Naturally, I was excited to see what the brand had in store for spring. As anticipated, there’s lots of pretty florals, soft pastels, and the return of many of the brand’s classic styles. So I wanted to run through the Sezane Spring 2022 collection and highlight some of my top picks. AKA what I’d be swiftly adding to cart. Sezane Marguarita Dress I often used to joke that there wasn’t a polka dot I met that I didn’t like. And while…

Nine items on my wishlist from Monica Vinader

Bringing back the weekly wishlist this Friday, and with Valentine’s Day coming up, jewellery seemed like the natural choice to discuss. There’s a few key brands I tend to wear on the daily; for me, I like a good mix of dainty and slightly more substantial pieces. But always, in styles which feel timeless and won’t date. Basically, I want to be adding pieces to my jewellery box that I’ll be content to wear for years (and years) to come. I spotted that Monica Vinader have a great sale on right now. You can get 20% off everything, or 25%…
