Upgrading Wardrobe Style Staples

Upgrading Wardrobe Style Staples

Ten years ago, a huge focus of my style journey was on upgrading my closet. Switching from fast fashion or poorly made items to ones which at the time, I would have called an investment. Recently I’ve shifted away from that language, but I still think the principle stands; quality over quantity. Spending a little more on certain style staples where you’ll get bang for your buck. Wearing Uniqlo white tee; Arket jeans; Stella McCartney blazer; Saint Laurent slides; Quince camera bag; Oscar Wylee sunglasses; Mejuri earrings & necklace If you’re curious to know where I generally spend and save…

Navy striped top & tailored shorts

Navy striped top & tailored shorts

If you caught my most recent YouTube upload, then you’ve probably already gotten a glimpse at this outfit. But, I thought I’d share a quick download of it anyway. Wearing Boden stripe top; Among shorts; Oliver Cabell flats (review here); Quince crossbody bag; PORTRAIT Eyewear sunglasses I’ve been doing two things when putting together outfits lately. Thinking about proportion and shape, and also drawing inspiration from style icons. In this case, Audrey Hepburn. Stripes are a total classic, and I love this navy and white striped mariniere from Boden. I sized up for more of a relaxed fit, and I’m…

Quince Clothing Review 2021

Quince Clothing Review 2021

I love good basics, and I especially love good basics done well. Even better if its at a price that doesn’t break the bank, so I’m always on the lookout for new brands which will give my old favourites a run for their money. And when I stumbled across Quince, I *knew* it wouldn’t be long before I ended up with some of their basics in my closet. To get a good measure of the brand, I purchased a few items across their silk, knitwear and accessories collections. And I’ve got some thoughts. So today’s going to be a full…

Wearing wide leg pants & neutral tones

Wearing wide leg pants & neutral tones

Two things you’ve been seeing me wear a lot lately? Wide or straight leg trousers, and an abundance of neutral tones. This is what I wore yesterday… always a risk as whenever I wear white, I spend the whole day trying to avoid little grubby fingers. Wearing Forcast top; H&M trousers (old but similar style here); YSL slides (affordable option); Polene bag; Mejuri, Linjer & Missoma bracelets; Arms of Eve earrings; Stella McCartney sunglasses I talked a bit about these style shifts in a recent post, but one thing I didn’t share was a new “tool” I’ve been using when…

Sezane Review 2021: Winter Capsule Collection

Sezane Review 2021: Winter Capsule Collection

I feel like I’m having a bit of a Sezane moment right now. In addition to ticking off a couple items on my seasonal wishlist from their Spring collection, I also recently purchased a handful of “basics” from their winter capsule.  One thing I wanted to mention… While I try to take a slower approach when adding new items to my wardrobe, I find that Sezane pieces tend to sell out fast. Clearly they have a marketing strategy which works. So I’ll typically condense the consideration period by scrutinising their lookbooks in the days leading up to launch, add items…
