Winter Outfit #3: Elevated loungewear

Winter Outfit #3: Elevated loungewear

Currently wearing a variation of this exact look for the third time in the past week; no shame here in outfit repeating. As it’s started to cool down more, I’ve been more inclined to skip getting “ready” for the day, in favour of wearing loungewear. Not exactly inspiring when it comes to trying to be productive – something made harder with with a three-month-old providing hours of (always welcome) distraction. This outfit toes the line of feeling like loungewear; it’s monochrome (read: “effortless”), includes knitwear (tick, tick, tick), and bonus points; the skirt is stretchy. Wearing C/ORCA tank (alternative here); &…

A note on seeking out perfection in our wardrobes

A note on seeking out perfection in our wardrobes

Back in 2011, I was a couple years into my professional career, and beginning to appreciate the value of a minimal wardrobe. I’d discovered a few French minimalist bloggers, and idolised them. I’d make lists of every core piece I felt my “perfect” wardrobe needed, and spent countless hours looking for the right piece. Always, always, looking to make these investment purchases. Wearing Everlane cami; AGOLDE skinny jeans; Witchery belt; Babaton blazer (similar option here and also here); Everlane slingback heels; Oroton bag (similar); Mejuri bracelets; Muru Jewellery apollo necklace; au|rate earrings It wasn’t until I decided to give the…

How I’ve been approaching exercise as a new mum

How I’ve been approaching exercise as a new mum

I never really talked about it a lot, but prior to falling pregnant, exercise formed a big part of my routine. I’d go for a run five days out of seven, and on rest days would do a handful of HIIT exercises at home. It was fairly early on into my pregnancy (16 weeks) that I had to give up running to ensure I was protecting my pelvic floor, which I promptly replaced with a daily hour long walk. Wearing Organic Basics SilverTech Active Workout Bra & Organic Basics SilverTech Active Yoga Shorts (10% off with code ‘JAMIEOBC’) Since becoming…

Amina Muaddi Begum Embellished Heels Designer Shoe Dupe

Amina Muaddi Begum Embellished Heels Designer Shoe Dupe

Clearly, I have a bit of a thing for an embellished shoe. First, it was the Jimmy Choo Bing Mules. Now, it’s the Amina Muaddi Begum Heels. I joke a lot that I’ve got champagne taste on a beer budget, and this is another example of a dazzling pair of shoes that were just a little out of my price range; particularly when taking into account cost-per-wear.  J.ING embellished PVC flats (15% off sitewide with code ‘JINGJamieLee15’) So I was pretty thrilled to find a more practical take on the begum style. These pointed toe flats from J.ING have that…

Winter Outfit #2: Oversized navy coat

Kicking off the second week of winter with another outfit; this time, the hero piece is a Scandi-inspired oversized coat. It’s safe to say I’ve really been feeling the cold of late, and am relishing the chance to properly start pulling out my winter coats. Wearing Sheep Inc. merino sweater; Madewell skinny jeans (love this version too); Witchery belt; Mute by JL coat; Everlane heels; Linjer bag (review here); Mejuri chain necklace; Muru Jewellery sun pendant; Boden earrings; Fedoma Jewellery ring If my last few style posts haven’t been an obvious clue, I’ve fallen into a habit of wearing knitwear…
