The outfit I’m repeating three winters on

The outfit I’m repeating three winters on

Despite the “stigma”, I’ve never been shy about outfit repeating. If 18 months of having a capsule wardrobe taught me anything, it’s how much I loved re-wearing my favourite outfits. I thought today I’d share an outfit I’ve literally worn for the past three winters in a row. Some weeks, I’d even reach for this look twice. Wearing Joseph knit (also here and worn with Uniqlo tee underneath); Grlfrnd Denim leather trousers (old but similar here and also here in a tan colour); Vaneli two tone pumps (also comes in a higher version); Vintage Fendi bag I’ve always felt that…

Sezane Libre Été Summer Collection: Top Picks & What I Bought

Sezane Libre Été Summer Collection: Top Picks & What I Bought

Sezane just released their new summer collection – Libre Été – so as usual I wanted to round up my top picks. I also was inspired to make a purchase of my own, so I’ll be sharing the key summer wardrobe staple I decided to splurge on. There’s currently free shipping via DHL on the international website too, so a good time to buy if you’ve had your eye on one of their core designs. 1 | Sezane Fabrizio shorts in ‘ecru’ The moment I spotted that Sezane’s Fabrizio shorts came in a creamy ecru hue, I knew I had…

The Ultimate Winter Sweater Guide

Confession time. My knitwear drawer is a little out of control. Well, it’s more than just one drawer; it’s several. The irony isn’t lost on me, especially given I live in a climate that’s  milder than most. That said, I’ve found myself relying on style uniforms now more than ever, and not a day has gone by in the past three weeks where I haven’t reached for a snuggly sweater. So I thought today we could take a deep dive into knitwear, with a comprehensive winter sweater guide. I’ll be focusing on five different kinds of knits in this winter…

Polene Number One Nano Bag Review

Polene Number One Nano Bag Review

Completing my trifecta of reviews on the Polene number one bag series, today I’m honing in on the nano style; a recent addition to my wardrobe. I’ve called this out a few times, but a smaller mini bag has become a major essential for me. Ironic, since I’m a new mum. But, I find I love the convenience of having the core essentials – phone, wallet, keys and lip balm – right at my finger tips.  Wearing buffalo check jumper (similar option here or also here or cardigan alternative); J.ING leatherette skirt; & Other Stories wool shirt; Midas boots; Polene…

Autumn Most Worn Items 2020

Autumn Most Worn Items 2020

I’ve mentioned my love of wardrobe analysis, so it’s little surprise that some of my favourite posts to reflect on would be those focused on my most worn items. Especially given I regularly espouse the virtues of a close full of basics. Plus, when I look at the numbers, it’s a reminder of that age old cliche; that we typically wear 20% of our closets, 80% of the time. Like my summer round up, I’ve decided to condense this to my five most worn items of autumn. What sticks out to me is that there’s always a common thread. It’s…
