mental relief with vineet bahl.

Getting outside does so much for my sanity, especially when it's an escape to the beach. I was beating myself up for not bringing my Seafollys' today though - absolutely perfect, and I wore the most inappropriate outfit. Why didn't I flow with something sleeveless? I gave up on Apple weather long ago, so when it…

inspiration wall :: mar.

This month has clearly been quite an insane one - I only just realised that I hadn't even put together some inspiration. Maybe that explains the craziness that has been going on, maybe the wall sets me up for what's coming. So this will keep me going for the next few days, until April begins.…

greenery.

After a long day all you need is a glass of wine and some of Jamie Oliver's spag bol. Then life is all ok again. There's also nothing like some uplifting indoor greenery. Somehow the air seems fresher, the light brighter - an instant mood lifter. I don't know how all the psychology behind that…

want list :: totes.

This is a slight lie, technically it shouldn't really be on my want list anymore, since I bought the beauty that is the Madewell tote yesterday morning. But I do have to wait at least 10 days to get this in my hands, so until then. After setting my heart on the leather babe I…

manspiration :: j.crew.

It's that time of the month again - the time to celebrate menswear and highlight the good, the bad and the ugly. Every little bit of inspiration counts in a crazy, endless week. Tim has recently taken up on that 70's trend, much to my liking (even if it wasn't an intentional response to the…

musings :: caroline de maigret.

Feeling very French school girl today with my monochrome outfit, touch of blue, collared top and woollen jumper. Add a beret and I'm sorted. Although I opted for the relaxed, breezy frenchie hair instead - constantly inspired by Caroline de Maigret. She is the poster girl for casual, refined coolness. Made all the more possible…

san franciscan for a day 2.0.

It is so surreal to think that just a couple of weeks ago we were holidaying where there now is a massive, destructive cyclone sweeping through. After this trip I became personally invested in Vanuatu - the people we met and saw over there made such an impact on me, and currently they are fighting…

reliving :: marques’almeida.

It's not much of a reliving when it only took place the other week, but well-deserved anyhow. Marques'Almeida's frayed denim features have become an instant hit - the world has already been swept up in the frenzy as we all dig for anything fray. They've done the quadruple denim and pulled it off. I also…

winter is lurking.

It's still hot enough to sweat it out during lunchtime netball, but those cold days are fast approaching. Way too fast. I feel the same dread every year towards winter - the only things to make it better are amazing clothing, wood fires and warm drinks (screaming out for the Rekorderlig Winter Cider). So my…

photoshoot :: classique.

The last 5 days have been a lesson in getting back to the normal. Having to set an alarm again, go to the gym, turn my brain on and sit in front of a computer day long have all been battles. But I'm getting there. In a sense I don't want the normality to return…
