Proving to be the most influential factor in informing my wardrobe additions; it’s texture. Items with some sort of tactile quality have been top of mind, in part because I think many of those wardrobe basics lists (that my closet is full of), tend to fall a bit flat. Lacking in excitement, but laden with versatility. Perspectives around what constitutes a “wardrobe basic” has shifted in the past two years. Moving away from static, inflexible lists, to have a stronger focus on what you personally wear on repeat. This is to say, just because a wardrobe basics lists states you…

One of my non-negotiables for comfortable summer style is natural fibres. Primarily cotton and linen, but I’ve started to wear a bit more silk too. Nestled in there is the idea that I’m not saving things for “best”. A mantra I’ve shared before, and will share again, but I’m leaning into that desire to just wear the clothes.

Anyway, here’s a week of summer outfit ideas. OUTFIT #1 | Grana…
Been thinking a little bit about how I like to wear colour and create contrast and cohesion in my outfits. And one thing that struck me is around the way I’ll typically wear an outerwear piece. Something I seem to crave and desire – right now, that is – is a consistency in the tones, saturation and depth of colour between my top and outerwear. So, in the first example, wearing a cardigan that is richer in depth, cool-toned, and grey-leaning. Reflecting these same qualities in my choice of outerwear. Which seems to have translated to the bag as well,…
These lip crayons have been rattling around in my drawer for a couple of months now, and I thought it was high time I finally shared my thoughts. A full review, along with swatches of the seven shades [PR] that I have. So, let’s review the Laura Mercier Petal Soft Lipstick Crayon. Laura Mercier Petal Soft Lipstick Crayon Review First I think it’s apt to talk about my lipstick preferences, as that definitely colours how I look at a product.
