Sezane Spring 2021 Clothing Review

Sezane Spring 2021 Clothing Review

I know I’m not alone in getting caught up in Sezane’s beautiful marketing campaigns and imagery. And their recently launched spring collection made my heart sing. It’s no secret I’m a neutrals girl through and through, but I found myself itching to add a couple of playful statement tops to my wardrobe (an area currently lacking). Shopping online can be really tricky, as you can’t feel the fabrics or get a true sense of how an item will drape and fit on the body. I’ve always believed that it’s such a tactile experience. So I thought I’d focus a bit…

Intentional Fit vs Desired Fit

Intentional Fit vs Desired Fit

I wanted to unpack a few more thoughts on a topic I shared recently over on my Instagram; the difference between how a designer intends a garment to fit, and how we want the garment to fit on us. Because they’re not one and the same. There’s three main touch points I wanted to expand on, and while I don’t find them to be equally linear or even congruent with each other, hopefully this will give you some insight into my thinking.

Repeating a summer outfit fave

Sharing one of my final outfits of the summer; an easy breezy combo which I’ve worn many times before in slightly different variations. As you’ll know, I’m not afraid to repeat my outfits, and I think once you’ve found a style or a pairing you like, you should wear it over and over. Having a style uniform – even a loosely defined one – can make getting dressed so much easier. Wearing Madewell courier shirt; Among shorts; Everlane city sandals; Louis Vuitton Neverfull; Linjer earrings; Mejuri necklace; Rosefield watch The Madewell courier shirt is a firm favourite of mine which…

Sezane Vue Sur Mer Spring Collection Top Picks

Not gonna lie, it almost feels a little like there’s a new Sezane collection every other week. But as usual, the beautiful imagery is so captivating, that I couldn’t help but have a peek. And dream about our next seaside escape… I’ve been mulling over these pieces over the past few days and I’m still 50/50 on whether I buy anything, solely as I’m still waiting for my last items to arrive (review incoming…!). Anyway, let’s chat through my picks… Sezane Tyson Shorts I’m a neutrals girl through and through, so trust me when I say this pick surprised even…

Ditching trends in favour of a timeless wardrobe

Ditching trends in favour of a timeless wardrobe

The year was 2002. I’d completed my University studies, and as a reward, I booked in a six-week holiday across Europe, planning to rendezvous with friends and family along the way. I had the key tourist sights marked down to visit, along with detailed maps for a couple of very fashionable cities, for some serious shopping. All trend-led, of course. I wasn’t thinking a year ahead or even a month ahead when it came to these purchases. All that mattered was whether said item “looked cute”, and was within my budget. Wearing H&M striped knit; H&M trousers; Vaneli two-tone pumps;…
