I know, I know. For someone currently wrapping up the final few weeks of summer, I’m talking about autumn/winter style an awful lot. But just hear me out. As much as I love summer, 35+ deg C days don’t exactly inspire the most creativity with outfits. You want to feel cool, comfortable, and not look too sloppy. So while I’m a total summer baby, it’s the opportunity to truly experiment with style during the cooler months that I love. As a bit of a follow up to my most recent YT video (which I’ve embedded below), I thought I’d share…
It feels a little odd to be sharing these photos mid-summer; even if it has been cold and rainy the past few days. I’ve been wearing the same handful of items on repeat, so it’s been nice to get to mix things up with some layers and snuggly sweaters. Wearing Joseph rollneck sweater; Jeanswest BF jeans (old but I like this style); Everlane rewool coat; Everlane editor heels; Mejuri hoop earrings; JW Anderson bag (old but the red version is 70% off here!) I’ve spent the past few years trying to figure out if boyfriend jeans are my thing. I…
To wrap up the week, I thought I’d share a quick round up of three items I’m loving from & Other Stories. I’ve been patiently waiting for my pregnancy to be over before diving in and making my first direct purchase, but that hasn’t stopped me from having a wee browse every now and then. There’s a few things I look out for when browsing. First, sticking to my colour palette. It’s easy to get swayed by interesting or fun new hues, but I’ve learned that I seldom reach for those items on a day-to-day basis. Second, whether it’s trend-led…
It’s fairly safe to say that I’ve found a bit of a rhythm with my skincare and makeup routines. I’ve been slowly making my way through my stash, and repeating old favourites where I’ve run out. From a makeup perspective, aside from the usual suspects like mascara, foundation or eyeliner, it’s fairly difficult for me to make my way through a whole product. So there’s plenty to play with if I’m feeling fatigued by my current choices. So this month is pretty light on “new” (to me) products. If you did want to see some of the items that I’ve…
Over the weekend, I celebrated my 32nd birthday. An occasion I’d usually mark with some kind of gift. Treat yourself, right? It’s only natural; the one day of the year dedicated to you. Combined with the fact that January and February have consistently been months where I’ve shopped in excess as a response to dealing with some difficult emotions which emerge during this time, and you’ve got a recipe where I have almost always felt like I’ve been set up to fail. But for 2020, I really wanted to reframe my shopping mindset around special occasions and milestones. While I love…
