Everlane Shorts Review: The Tencel Way High Drape Shorts

  • 0 Comments
Everlane Shorts Review: Girl standing in front of a white London Terrace House with a blue door wearing Goelia's button up wool striped cardigan, a black bodysuit, Everlane's Tencel Way High Drape Shorts and LaBante London's Elm Handbag for a sophisticated summer outfit.

You could say that I’ve been in pursuit of the perfect pair of tailored shorts ever since I saw a photo of my grandmother in one such pair back in the 1950s. But shorts can be deceptively tricky to buy. After several attempts, I’m hopeful that Everlane’s Tencel Way High Drape Shorts have finally put my…

Pixie Market’s Chiara Top: The Perfect Khaite Maddy Top Dupe

Girl standing in Palais Royal in Paris wearing Pixie Market's Chiara top (a good Khaite Maddy top dupe) a preloved Toteme black slip skirt, LaBante London Elm handbag.

I’m sure I’m not alone in falling for Khaite’s beautiful Maddy top. With it’s ribbed knit, sweetheart neckline and a silhouette vaguely reminiscent of the Tudor bodices of the 15th century (I know, I know, minus the heavy boneing, brocade and skirts but humour me here), it’s a timeless statement piece which will elevate any…

How to style linen in winter

Girl wearing a trench coat, striped sweater and tailored linen trousers.

Linen is one of my favourite fabrics. Sustainable, breathable, hard wearing. While it does crease, I’ve often felt this imperfection adds to, rather than detracts from, it’s beauty. You’ve probably associated your linen garments more with spring and summer. The fabric certainly conjures up feelings of sun drenched European summer evenings for me. However, one…

Here we are at the end of summer in the northern hemisphere. The sharp crisp early morning are just beginning to tease us. The leaves haven’t begun to turn golden, but soon. You can feel it. That said, I thought I could squeeze one more summer-related post in before the autumn content begins as these…

You may recall this jumpsuit – one of the earlier outfits I featured on this blog. Funny enough I’d admired it in one of my favourite stores about a season before seeing it hanging outside a rack of my local Red Cross store in Sydney – where it promptly came home with me. I guess…

Black may not be the colour that first springs to mind when it comes to summer outfit ideas. However, this perennially timeless colour can very easily be incorporated into your spring / summer capsule wardrobe. Below I share a few suggestions for my favourite ways of styling black in the warmer months.  1. Consider the…

Black and Beige – A Simple Outfit Formula

Girl wearing a beige sportscraft woollen knit, black trousers and beige heels

A simple outfit formula. Sweaters and a simple pair of pants, sometimes jeans, sometimes tailored is an outfit formula I wear a lot. I love the neutral colour palette of this iteration of it. The beige sweater balances out the harsher shades of the true black pants and the heels draw it all together. You…

Styling a navy evening dress

As far as adding colour to my wardrobe goes, I often find myself drawn to navy blue and other such muted shades.  I also feel that navy is a colour which lends itself to wedding guest outfits. Black and white, usual go-to colours for me, aren’t traditionally appropriate for such events, but navy feels like a…

I find myself wearing a lot of monochrome outfits. Partly because they are just so easy to style, but also because a lot of the foundational pieces of my wardrobe tend to be based around a similar colour palette and so I inadvertently find myself styling outfits this way.  I love the idea of a…

Dresses. They’re my archilles heel. Especially t Dresses. They’re my archilles heel. Especially the beautiful, impractical evening dresses. 🖤

However, there are just fewer opportunities to wear evening attire which means that after only one or two wears they can end up gathering dust. 

Below are a few tips for making your beautiful, evening dresses more sustainable.

1. Embrace outfit repeating: Shop your own closet and give your dresses the spotlight they deserve. Remember, re-wearing an outfit should be a badge of honour, not something to be embarrassed by.

2. Phone a friend: Borrow a dress from a friend for a fresh look without buying something new.

3. Rent or hire a dress: Check out clothing rental sites to hire designer dresses at a fraction of the price. Look stunning while reducing waste and saving wardrobe space.

4. Go preloved: Explore online platforms like Gumtree, eBay, or The Real Real for barely worn, second-hand gems. You never know what treasures you’ll find! 

5. Sell what you won’t wear: If an event piece won’t see the light of day again, sell it sooner rather than later. Create space, recoup value, and let someone else enjoy it! 

6. Choose sustainable brands: When buying new, support ethical and sustainable clothing brands. Or opt for timeless designs that can stand the test of time. ♻️✨

I’d love to know, have you tried any of these sustainable approaches for evening attire? I’d love to hear your experiences below.

“Thank you for love, no matter what its outcome, “Thank you for love, no matter what its outcome,
that leads us to the window in the dark,
that adds another otherness to others,
that holds out stars as if they were first diamonds
found in a mine that had been long closed down…” — Bruce Dawe

A poem is truly beautiful if you can analyse it for a grade 10 English essay and still love it years later. “Definition of Loving” by Bruce Dawe is one of those poems for me. 

What’s a poem that really speaks to your soul?

I might not be waking up to this idyllic view of Parisian rooftops this morning, but it’s been a lovely, relaxing and most importantly, sunny, day nonetheless. 

I hope you’ve had a beautiful weekend.

This floral dress always reminds me of summer. O This floral dress always reminds me of summer. 

Of listening to the cicadas hum away into the evening as the world turns golden just for a few brief moments before evening sets in. 

Summer seems a distant memory at present, but I’m looking forward to sunbaked days ahead.

I think it speaks to why investing in pieces that you really love, pays off in the long run. 

Instagram, as it has many items in my wardrobe, introduced me to this dress. 

I had to save for it - waiting until it came on sale. But it’s been one of my most worn dresses from that point onwards and so its cost per wear has ended up being quite low. 

It’s also well made and durable. It’s structure hasn’t changed, the colours haven’t faded with multiple washes, the fabric, linen, has been hard wearing and durable. 

It’s just one example of why quality over quantity is such an important guiding principle for me,  when choosing pieces for my wardrobe. 

What’s a principle which guides the way you collect clothes?

No, I did not pack lightly on our recent trip to t No, I did not pack lightly on our recent trip to the Loire Valley in France. 

Yes, I can confirm that 90% of my luggage comprised romantic and entirely impractical dreamy dresses. 

And yes, it weighed a ton.

If you require evidence, it is in the reel above. 🙈

For travel, do you pack lightly? Or are you more of an “all but the kitchen sink” type of packer?
