Is this the affordable answer to The Row’s Margaux Tote?

The internet has gone crazy for what is being tipped as a more modern, and less expensive alternative to the Hermes Birkin. Vogue called it “an heirloom bag in the making”. Functionally and aesthetically serving something quite similar to the Birkin. And it ties into broader trends that we’re seeing right now centred around power dressing, and a nod to collegiate prep. Silhouettes are getting sharper, with a sense of refinement and elegance. While we still crave the nonchalance and ease that has dominated over the past few years. Both of which tie into the appeal of this season’s latest…

The easy summer uniform I keep coming back to

‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’ – Leonardo Da Vinci What’s one style “rule” that influences almost every outfit you wear? For me, it’s the ‘rule of three’. An outfit will feel “done” when it’s made up of three main components. You’ll have heard of this concept many times, referred to as the rule of thirds, or the golden ratio.

My Best & Worst Purchases of 2023

Final (style) look back at the year that was, this time, through what I purchased. More specifically, my top five buys, and the three pieces I wish I’d reconsidered buying.  Aside from recounting my most worn pieces of the season, this has been one of the more valuable reflections when analysing personal style. Because you’re forced to consider the root cause of why an item has been tucked away at the back of your closet, unloved and unworn. That said, if I’ve taken away anything from my purchases over the years, it’s that regardless of how much time we spend…
