Early Black Friday Sales to Shop Now

Early Black Friday Sales to Shop Now

I feel like I say this every year, but the sales seem to be starting earlier and earlier. So many retailers are doing a “Black Friday preview” or early sale, so it’s worth taking a peek now in case items on your wishlist sell out. I always use this time as an opportunity to plan ahead with Christmas gifting, or to stock up on any wardrobe essentials for the season ahead. If you plan it right, you can extend your budget a bit further… and I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling that every little bit helps as we head…

What I wore today: off shoulder top & denim mini skirt

What I wore today: off shoulder top & denim mini skirt

After fumbling my way through my spring 30X30 capsule, I feel like I’m slowly making some headway with my personal style. As someone who has prided herself on knowing what she likes, and how to wear it, this part of the postpartum experience has left me feeling a little lost. And I think it’s probably shown in the outfits I’ve haphazardly thrown together. Wearing Ulla Johnson off shoulder top (also here and white floral version here); Aje denim mini skirt; Vaneli two tone pumps; Fendi vintage bag; Linjer earrings (10% off jewellery with code “mademoiselle10”); Missoma bracelet So when I…

Inside my Perfume Collection

Inside my Perfume Collection

Estée Lauder once said, ‘Perfume is like a new dress. It makes you quite simply marvellous’. Despite wearing it very rarely since having a baby, I’ve always loved finishing the ritual of getting ready for the day with a few spritzes of perfume. Fragrance has this uncanny ability to evoke strong memories and feelings, and I love being able to tie milestones and holidays to a perfume; it adds to the joy of wearing it. Rather than share my beauty edit this month, I instead thought I’d give a look into my (rather extensive…) fragrance collection. I tend to like…

Wardrobe Fail Safes

Wardrobe Fail Safes

The less time I have, the more I’m finding myself leaning on those wardrobe fail safes. They’re the items in my closet that I feel like I can truly rely on. What makes them a “fail safe” is knowing that those pieces will always look good on you, and make you feel good. No matter what. Wearing Mott & Bow tee; Arket jeans; H&M blazer (also similar); Vaneli two tone pumps (also here); Linjer Lana bag, necklace & rings (10% off jewellery with “mademoiselle10”); Mejuri necklace; Timeless Pearly earrings My spring capsule wardrobe experience has really gotten me thinking about…

30X30 Capsule Wardrobe Recap (Spring 2020)

30X30 Capsule Wardrobe Recap (Spring 2020)

Funny how your mindset can swiftly change from one capsule to the next. This was something I was really open about as I made my way through my Spring 30X30 capsule, and today I wanted to do a proper recap. So I’m going to run through a few things today; I’ll start with a proper overview of all the items that made it into my capsule (and the ones I decided to drop…). I ended up utilising just 28 of the 30 items, as I felt hesitant to add anything new in, especially as the month wore on. This is…
