Let’s call this my “get-ready-in-less-than-two-minutes” outfit. Reliable, practical, and always chic, you can count on the French to have a style uniform that not only looks effortless, but actually is. Wearing Uniqlo striped top (size S or alternative here); AERE trousers (size AU8); About Arianne ballet flats (size EU40); Acne Studios mini musubi bag (10% off with JAMIEFF10); The Row black knit (size S) If there’s one thing that has been a steady constant in my outfits, it’s been the reliance on stripes as a “neutral”. During my my experimental days, I’d pair them with other patterns like florals or…
Kicking off a new (semi) regular series on my blog, I thought it might be fun to share some dressing room diaries. First impressions of items from brands I love, or in some cases, might be outside of my usual style wheelhouse. And I though we could start with a try on of my favourite pieces from the Viktoria & Woods Spring 22 collection. Viktoria & Woods has been on my radar for several years at this point. Given the brand’s minimal aesthetic, it’s wild that it’s taken me until now to make my way into one of their stores.…
How many times have you heard me joke that I have champagne taste on a beer budget? It’s never been more so true than when it comes to shoes. They’re my ultimate wardrobe kryptonite; the one thing I seem to constantly desire despite the abundance of styles in my closet. With all the years I’ve spent hunting down the best basics for my closet, I’ve found that good quality comes at every price. You just need to know where to look. Given my love of shoes, today I wanted to share a new batch of designer shoe dupes so you…
What a trip! Days later and I’m still buzzing from my recent stay in Dallas, for the annual LTKCon. For me, it wasn’t just a week getting to learn, network, and connect with new people, but also some time to fill my cup. If you’re a mum you’re probably well familiar with putting yourself last on the pecking order. Safe to say I’m hugely grateful that my husband pushed me to go. So, first step in deciding what to pack? Checking the weather forecast and also the schedule. The forecast was around 30-32 deg C every day during my stay,…
There are a handful of retailers that really seem to have a chokehold on me. Arket just so happens to be one of them. Something I put down to their heavy focus on effortless basics in (mostly) neutral hues. It’s approachable and their relaxed silhouettes feel effortless. My general experience has been that their items are good quality, and returns are usually just down to fit. Shopping online can be a bit of a gamble, and even if you’re a savvy/frequent online shopper, you’re still bound to make mistakes. Especially as you lack that tactile component, part and parcel of…
