A week of transitional outfit ideas

A week of transitional outfit ideas

Autumn. Spring. Two of my favourite seasons; mostly for the moderate to mild temperatures, and opportunity to really maximise what I have in my closet. One thing that keeps popping up has been transitional style dressing, so I thought as a complement to this reel, I’d talk through a week of transitional outfit ideas, and the styling tools I’ve leaned on for each of them. OUTFIT ONE Wearing H&M sweater (old but current version linked); Isabel Marant Etoile skirt (old but similar linked); Rag & Bone boots (old but similar linked); Chanel vintage classic flap This is the outfit you…

Summer ’21 Most Worn Items

Summer ’21 Most Worn Items

It’s felt a little like that transition in seasons ever so silently just happened. One minute, it was “summer”; the next time I glanced at the calendar, I realised that we’d already rolled right into autumn. And for the first time, my most worn pieces felt like a bit of a mystery. Nothing quite stood out as being a piece I’d worn on repeat.  Wearing Lois Hazel silk tiered tank; Assembly Label denim shorts; YSL slides (affordable alternative); Madewell bag; Mejuri earrings; Linjer necklace (10% off jewellery with code “mademoiselle10”) The one thing that did strike me as unusual this…

If you caught my most recent YouTube upload, then you’ve probably already gotten a glimpse at this outfit. But, I thought I’d share a quick download of it anyway. Wearing Boden stripe top; Among shorts; Oliver Cabell flats (review here); Quince crossbody bag; PORTRAIT Eyewear sunglasses I’ve been doing two things when putting together outfits lately. Thinking about proportion and shape, and also drawing inspiration from style icons. In this case, Audrey Hepburn. Stripes are a total classic, and I love this navy and white striped mariniere from Boden. I sized up for more of a relaxed fit, and I’m…

Quince Clothing Review 2021

Quince Clothing Review 2021

I love good basics, and I especially love good basics done well. Even better if its at a price that doesn’t break the bank, so I’m always on the lookout for new brands which will give my old favourites a run for their money. And when I stumbled across Quince, I *knew* it wouldn’t be long before I ended up with some of their basics in my closet. To get a good measure of the brand, I purchased a few items across their silk, knitwear and accessories collections. And I’ve got some thoughts. So today’s going to be a full…
