Nine items on my wishlist from Monica Vinader

Bringing back the weekly wishlist this Friday, and with Valentine’s Day coming up, jewellery seemed like the natural choice to discuss. There’s a few key brands I tend to wear on the daily; for me, I like a good mix of dainty and slightly more substantial pieces. But always, in styles which feel timeless and won’t date. Basically, I want to be adding pieces to my jewellery box that I’ll be content to wear for years (and years) to come. I spotted that Monica Vinader have a great sale on right now. You can get 20% off everything, or 25%…

OOTD: Blue hues

Maybe we can put it down to two years of pandemic fatigue, or perhaps it’s just a desire to break out of the mould of my current wardrobe. But… I’ve found myself inexplicably drawn to colour of late. It started with earthy tones; for my closet and personal style, a true natural progression from the core basics in my closet consisting mostly of black, white and grey. Wearing Summer & Storm dress; Tibi sandals (on sale); Mango straw bag (old but I like this one) Neutral tones, the basics. We know they’re a safe bet. You can spend a little…

January Outfits of the Month

Instead of my usual weekly outfit wrap ups, I wanted to try out a new format on my YouTube channel; a look at a handful of outfits I wore over the course of the month which I felt really good in.

Wearing natural fabrics is key, and as much as I love a midi or maxi length dress, minis and shorts have reigned supreme. Unless the air con…

OOTD: Oversized blazer with shorts

One thing I’ve been harping on about a lot recently is balance. Proportions. Interesting silhouettes. For me, it’s a way to make my relatively “simple” wardrobe feel fresh and interesting. Create intrigue and newness from what I already own. Wearing Uniqlo U knit tank (or similar here); Ganni shorts; Tibi blazer (affordable alternative here); YSL slides; Celine trio; Linjer earrings; Mejuri necklace; Rosefield watch Rules might be there to be broken, but I do find myself leaning on them a lot when getting dressed. Using them as a guide to incorporate those elements most important to me in an outfit…

30 + 4

Celebrating turning another year older in this dream of a dress. A purchase I made in the last few months of 2021, as I tried to seek out a more budget-friendly alternative to this dress. Safe to say, I found it, and for someone who often falls back on white or black dresses, it’s a nice switch up with the check print. One I’ll be wearing casually in the winter with a black merino underneath, stockings and sock boots. Worn here in a UK8; and if you were looking for something similar for your closet, it’s worth mentioning that it’s…
