10X10 Transitional Capsule Wardrobe

10X10 Transitional Capsule Wardrobe

Combining two of my favourite things today; a mini 10X10 capsule wardrobe edit with some transitional wardrobe staples. I love this time of year as the styling opportunities feel endless. Layering one day, wearing summer essentials the next. At least, that’s what it’s like here in Sydney. I thought for a change, I’d more consciously blend a mix of autumnal and spring style elements. So you have a minimal strappy sandal, or a thick chunky soled boot. A ribbed knitted midi skirt, or a denim mini. Part of the fun of the transitional months is being able to pair together…

Less is more; how streamlining my style enhanced my outfits

Style evolution is something that fascinates me. How certain outfits can pinpoint a moment in time. A phase. A life transition. I think it’s one of the reasons why I’ve felt compelled to share my own style journey, as looking back I can see the shifts and changes that I’ve undergone since my late teens.

Breaking down my A/W Style

Breaking down my A/W Style

I’ve been reflecting a little on my autumn/winter style. Analysing my most worn. Distilling it down into a few neat outfit formulas. Noticing that the combination of each outfit was so formulaic, to the point that only small subtleties differentiate between them.  Wearing The Curated cashmere knit (in size S); Everlane 90s cheeky jean (in size 25 ankle – full review here); Tibi sandals (in size EU40 – similar more affordable option here); Chanel brooch; Linjer Lise hoops The width of a trouser (or denim) leg. Low heeled pumps or a covered up boot; sometimes even a sandal if the…

Spring things

Spring things

Linen. Strappy sandals. Straw bags. The sounds of crickets at sunset. Mosquito’s buzzing at your ankles. Spring has most definitely sprung. 26 deg C today here in Sydney, with temperatures of 29 and 28 forecast for the weekend. Wearing the quintessential spring/summer staples here, and looking forward to more outfits like this. Hope you enjoy the weekend ahead! Wearing Marle ardi dress (also comes in white here); Mara & Mine mules; Charles & Keith rattan bag; eb&ive earrings; Edge of Ember chain/pearl choker; Stella McCartney sunglasses
