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…
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…
I’ve been going through my photo archives and realised that there a lot of outfits that I’ve shared on Instagram but which have never quite made it to this little space. You can tell these photos were taken last year, because look how short my hair was! Social media moves so quickly, it can sometimes…
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…

It’s no secret that dresses are my Achilles heel and a quick tally of the party or evening dresses sitting in my wardrobe comes in at about 15 or so. And while there’s nothing nothing wrong with buying a nice dress for a special event, currently the only balls and soirees on my social calendar’s…
Rob and I have embarked on a month or so of travel before we settle down in London. Packing lightly for travel, particularly extended travel, is quite an art. And it’s not something I can claim to have mastered, just yet. This holiday, I’ve still packed far more than I would have liked and resemble, when…
Hello! How are you all? It’s so good to be back blogging after a longer hiatus than originally anticipated. Before, I get into the subject of styling blazers with jeans, I thought I’d give you a little life update on our move to London. I planned to post every other week, but let’s just say that…
