What’s on my winter shopping wish list

8th June, 2018

Now that winter has well and truly arrived I’ve been busy planning what to add to my winter wardrobe. I’ve taken stock of my key staples and pinpointed the gaps that I need to update with new season pieces. I’m finding myself gravitating towards a lot of colour in an effort to inject a bit of energy into my looks. This time of year is traditionally about subdued hues and this year I wanted to shake things up and adopt a slightly more bolder colour palette. Here are a few things currently on my wish list—I’m all about striking shades, luxe fabrics and the odd piece that’s made to stand out…

Balenciaga cable knit sweater

How beautiful is this burgundy colour? I can’t resist a cosy knit to snuggle into when it’s cold.

Chinti & Parker crochet trim jumper

I like the red and pink trim on this neutral jumper —it gives it a playful touch.

Prada striped ribbed knit midi skirt

I’m a fan of the midi skirt because it always looks polished. You can’t go wrong with a red and white stripe for a for a bold, yet classic statement piece.

The Row silk and cashmere top

This would be a definite splurge but the colour and the drape is amazing—plus no doubt silk and cashmere would feel so beautifully luxurious.

Fendi embroidered cashmere sweater

Logo tees were huge in spring/summer so it’s no surprise that the trend has made its way onto winter sweaters. I really love the sweet font and the monochrome colour palette.

Saint Laurent high waisted boyfriend jeans

I’m always in jeans so I don’t mind investing in a pair that I know I’ll wear to death. Cost per wear and all that. This would be perfect worn with sneakers and any of the above sweaters on the weekend.

Miu Miu embroidered raffia shoulder bag

It’s always nice to embrace natural textures when it comes to accessories. The raffia bag would make a nice finishing touch to an evening look.

Jil Sander floral brocade pumps

They’re quite the statement shoe, I know, but if you can’t have fun with your shoes then when can you?

Dolce & Gabbana enamel gold plated earrings

Any look can become special with the addition of a pair of standout earrings. These beauties would add a bold touch to a day or night ensemble and take it next-level.

12 buys to get you ready for the Easter long weekend

23rd March, 2018

The countdown to the Easter long weekend is on and with it the perfect excuse to nab some new additions to your off duty wardrobe. Whether you’re heading off on a quick getaway or just doing a staycation at home and hanging out with friends and family, it’s time to up your outfit game.

Cecilie Copenhagen off-the-shoulder blouse

Off-the-shoulder still reigns supreme and this will work with everything from shorts to jeans so it’s worth the investment.

Toteme monogram print shirt

A relaxed button down with a striking print can dress up most lounge wear options.

Toteme slip cropped jeans

What’s a weekend wardrobe without good ol’ trusty denim? This pair is just the right cut and shade to ensure longevity.

Rosetta Getty striped shirt dress

You can wear this with sneakers, loafers, slides or sandals and change up its vibe each time. A great option if you’re going away and need one piece to work in multiple ways.

Golden Goose Deluxe Brand super start low top leather trainers

A pair of white sneakers never goes astray. The floral detail adds a sweet feminine touch.

Mara Hoffman Katinka cotton dress

Could you imagine just hanging out in this number whilst enjoying a glass of wine? It’s the ideal shape and is made from a super soft cotton for maximum comfort.

Goen J ruffled cotton striped camisole

The combination of white and blue stripes is always a chic option. Love the ruffled detail on this top.

See by Chloe cotton jersey top

Think of this as having the versatility of a white tee but elevated. The fluted sleeves and drawstrings are an elegant touch.

LoveShackFancy cotton mini skirt

A little bit bohemian meets country, this sweet mini would be ideal for a BBQ or casual lunch.

Saint Laurent flocked striped cotton jersey tee

Fact: you can never own too many striped tees. A big tick for the monochrome colour palette and striking red logo.

Gucci Ace embroidered leather collapsible leather sneakers

I wear my Gucci sneakers on most days because they’re so comfy but can easily look dressed up. Also the popularity of white sneakers shows no signs of waning so its definitely a worthwhile investment piece.

Re/Done Originals high-rise ankle crop frayed jeans

Teamed with a white tee and leather jacket these jeans would look off duty ready whilst still maintaining a little edge.

Delicate rings are great for layering or as an understated adornment on its own, and this piece with its edgy spiral design caught my eye with its interesting shape.

A form fitting maxi is a great go-to wardrobe option during the warmer months as it’s so simple and effortlessly stylish. The side-split detail and crossover straps elevate it into a dress that could work for dressy events too.

I’m always drawn to striking headpieces and this piece is definitely worth bookmarking for a racing event.

Fiona Powell straw boater with frayed edge

I’ve built a solid hat collection over the years but can’t resist buying one each spring/summer season as I’m always spending time outside enjoying the sunshine. This hat is perfect for adding a stylish (and sun safe) element to any look.

Gucci appliqued mini skirt

It’s hard to resist the beautiful appliqué on this skirt, especially the rather adorable bunny. Gucci strikes again!

Gucci leather belt

A black belt is a wardrobe staple as it’s the kind of accessory that can work with everything from pants to jeans and a skirt. The gold buckle on this elevates it into something special.

Dolce & Gabbana textured leather iPhone case

It’s hard to go past the beautiful floral design of this iPhone case. It’s always nice when something utilitarian is also aesthetically pleasing too.
