It’s always around this time of year that I find myself reaching for darker colour palettes. My days of wearing the neutrals trend are far from over, but sometimes an all black outfit is just the thing. It’s simple, timeless, and always looks chic. The key trick when going monochrome is to mix up your textures. It creates depth and keeps things interesting. And, if you love washed black tones as much as I do, you can use those subtle changes in colour to stop your outfit from feeling flat.

Aside from a phase I had in my early teens, I’ve never considered myself much of a sneaker girl. Give me a pointed toe flat any day. But over the last year I’ve found myself really warming up to the humble sneaker. One of my most recent sneaker additions are a pair I got for my birthday from sustainable sneaker brand; Veja. I’ve been seriously putting these to the test over the last four months, and today I thought I’d share my thoughts on the Veja Esplar sneakers.

The underlying tenets of my wardrobe are quality over quantity, with a big focus on ensuring I get a good cost-per-wear out of anything new I add to it. I’d like to think that over the years, I’ve shifted (mostly) away from trend-led pieces and more towards timeless designs that will truly stand the test of time. Wearing Rue Stiic linen top, Mott & Bow skinny jeans, IRO coat (s/o but similar option here), Sam Edelman loafers (also here), Oroton bag, Holly J necklace, Mejuri necklace, Holly J earrings While I still purchase the odd item from the high street,…
For my final autumn style uniform, I wanted to show you how I’ve been dressing on days when I don’t want to wear jeans or trousers. It’s usually during this transitional period that I can get away with bare legs just a little longer, especially if I bulk up the layers on my upper half. For this style uniform, I pair an oversized knit sweater + skirt + boots, with a coat thrown over the top for good measure. Wearing Mott & Bow cashmere sweater, Everlane patch pocket skirt (I wear this in a US0), Everlane boss boots (review here),…
After eyeing up the J’adior slingback flats from Dior for the better part of two years, I was finally able to tick them off my wish list as my most recent 5PFW addition. Instead of going through the luxury shopping experience, I decided to save myself a few pennies and buy these pre-loved, which had the added benefit of being aligned with the style resolutions I made at the start of this year. Working from home most days, the one thing I look for most in shoes is comfort and style, and these strike the right balance. From a comfort…
