Coffee Brown Washable Wool Cloak … curated on LTK

🍁The joy of seasons 🍁 We are so lucky to have distinct seasons here in the U.K. 🙌🏻 Not only does it give us something to look forward to weather wise, it also force us to rethink our wardrobe several times a year. This is a very good thing as it prevents boredom with the clothes we already own. We also have to be more creative and use more items than if the weather was fairly similar year around. 👏🏻 It does come with the downside of seasons that we might like less than the others. But to me personally, I rather have the variation than not.

ad| Demystifying shape wear - 5 reasons why every wardrobe needs a shapewear body.

(But before I dive into the benefits - yes, you can go to the bathroom, the body unclips fully in the crotch 👌🏻)

Shape wear is in general mostly enjoyed for the smoothing and slimming attributes, however I have found a whole bunch of other benefits too.

5 occasions and reasons why I use this body (apart from the obvious) are;

1. To layer under blazers for that barely there look.

A body leaves no bulk or creases, and it’s low cut enough to cover if needed, but barely noticeable in the finished look.

2. For modesty when I’m wearing low cut tops or dresses.

If I match the colours, no one will know where the dress stops and the body starts. It’s also an extra little safety if the dress would slide or move.

3. Under knitted jumpers to prevent itchiness.

I absolutely refuse to wear anything itchy. This is when a shape wear body can really save the day. It’s like a second skin, but without being visible at all.

4. Under cardigans for comfort and style.

I love a big bulky cardigan look. But I do also want to wear something under that won’t look strange or take away from the outfit. This is where a low cut body like this really shines.

5. Under shirts for warmth.

I adore wearing shirts and I tend to want to use them year around. I just layer them with a body in the colder months. It might not seem like much, but it actually makes a noticeable difference.

Both my bodies are from @honeylove . They are made in great quality and have been fit tested for at least 2 years on regular women to make sure they are perfect.

@maisonvalentino Rockstuds styled in 3 outfits 🤍

Is look 1, 2 or 3 more your style? 🤔

I know quite a few of you have these in your wardrobes and I have had many requests for inspiration to style them.

I finally found the perfect pair and bought them for my October #OneItemAMonth and have been wearing them loads since.

These were such “it” shoes a few years ago, and I’m very glad I waited until now to get them. They needed to cool down a little from all the hotness before they could become an icon in their own right. 👏🏻

It’s a gorgeously designed shoe and it would be a terrible loss if they disappeared into the pit of “it” items lost and forgotten.

What do you think of these shoes. Yay or did you overdo them last time? 🤔

5 items we will not be buying in the sales ☝🏻

The sales are amazing, if they are done right.
We want to use them to get those items that normally would be slightly out of reach budget wise.

Things that suits our personal style and wardrobe, in great quality, so they last and that we truly love.

What we won’t buy are these;

1. The items we haven’t seen before.

If we don’t already know that we love and need it, it’s most likely an impulse purchase.

It’s much better to decide what to get, before the sale starts!

2. The item we already have.

If it’s something that is similar to something else we already own and we still would love the first item more, the second will be left unused.

This does not apply to items we “go through” like t-shirts and underwear, when it can makes sense to buy multiples.

3. The item we can’t afford.

No matter how tempting, no price of clothing is ever worth getting in debt for. Instead put it on your wish list for the future.

4. The item we wouldn’t be interested in at full price.
Not because we can’t afford it, but because we don’t actually like it enough.

5. last but not least. We won’t be seduced by a big reduction. It might still not be worth it if the item isn’t useful to you.

Remember your price per wear and shop accordingly!

Do you have any items you bought in the sale and later regretted? (I have definitely had my fair share when I was a shopaholic.)

Let’s style my #OneItemAMonth purchase from October 🤍

It took me many years, but I finally found the perfect pair of @maisonvalentino Rockstuds on @vinted 👌🏻

They have been on my wishlist from day one, but I always thought they were a little too expensive compared to how much I would use them.

We need to keep that Price Per Wear in mind ladies!

So I decided that if I could find a pair that looked nearly new for less than £250 pre-loved then I would get them. It took a few years… but then these came along for less than £200 and I didn’t hesitate for a second.

Luckily Vinted offers an authentication service. It adds a few more days on to the shipping and cost about £10, but it is so worth it just to know that a designer item is authentic.

This definitely sails up there next to my 90s Chanel as my best pre-loved finds 🤍

What was the last thing you bought pre-loved? 🤔

GRWM - Autumn layering 🍁

This is the time to perfect our layering skills 👌🏻

Most likely we are rushing between home, car, office, train, shops etc.

All these places will have different temperatures and we need our outfit to not only keep us the right temperature, but also looking out together.

This is why good layering is so important. In this look I have a 3 in 1. I can choose to wear just the jumper and the scarf, add the blazer or even throw on the coat on top if it’s extra chilly.

There will be no mismatches, I will always look appropriate and I neither have to freeze or sweat.

This is why layering is brilliant (and really fun too!).

Would you wear this look? 🤔

How I pick the right jewellery for my capsule wardrobe 💍

… most of the time, I don’t.

Almost every piece of jewellery I own I have either been given to me as a gift or inherited.

And the very few pieces I have bought myself are usually for a celebrations of special events.

To me, jewellery is so much more than items to wear. They are symbols to remind me that I’m loved, of special occasions, or relatives that are not with me anymore. 🤍

As you might have noticed when you see my videos, I barely ever buy new jewellery and I don’t own a lot of different pieces. Instead I wear my signature items over and over again.

My family ring and my @cartier watch are both inherited from my mom. I also have a very special pearl necklace from my grandmother.

The @dior necklace I get so many questions about was a gift from one of my very first boyfriends over 20 years ago. And I was given my @vancleefarpels necklace by my ex husband when our son was born.

I want my jewellery to tell stories, so the idea of buying lots of different pieces doesn’t appeal to me.

My advice is, if there is one time you really should choose less but better, it’s definitely when it comes to jewellery. Make sure you buy them rarely, but when you do, make them truly special. 🤍

3 quiet luxury looks for autumn 🍂

Is look 1, 2 or 3 more to your taste?

Quiet luxury for me is high quality materials like silks, cashmere, leather, linen and wool in beautiful classic cuts.

It’s sumptuously rich without being braggy or out there. The palette is pleasant and calm. Less is more.

It’s not as distinct as old money, but follows the same general rules of timelessness, elegance, buying for quality, avoiding trends, and curating over collecting.

I’m very drawn to this as it’s pretty easy to put together a wardrobe in these shades that is appropriate for most occasions. I also love the harmony between the classic cuts and the high quality textures. And as you know, I much rather buy one amazing high quality piece than five “meh” items.

You cannot be under dressed in looks like these.

5 items I’m wearing in November 🍂

I try to use most of my capsule wardrobe year around. But these are 5 items that is working extra hard on their price per wear this month.

1. My buttery soft leather trousers by @theory__ . I love the texture of leather and especially matched with knitted items. It’s also really useful if you want to keep extra warm.

2. My cashmere jumper and brooch from @goelia_official . I use this brooch on all kinds of items, but it originally came with this lovely medium thick cashmere jumper.

3. My 90s @chanelofficial sling back I bought preloved on @vestiaireco for £100 (they just needed a little trip to the cobbler!)

4. My new bag from @songmont_official of course! It fills such a hole in my wardrobe both in size and in shade.

5. My cream unlined @reiss coat. It’s perfect for layering for the weather we have in the U.K. right now.
