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.

…this gorgeous calf leather bag by @songmont_official 🤍

I get so many questions about how to invest in a great quality bag when your budget won’t stretch to designer brands. 🤔

So I made it my mission to find a bag that looks elegant, is timeless, in great quality, made sustainably and that will last. But for a slightly smaller investment.

And this is it! It ticks all the boxes and more. 👌🏻

This bag shows that you don’t have to buy into the large brands to get something truly stylish in great quality. 👏🏻

The stupid vs clever way to shop Black Friday 🖤

The biggest shopping week of the year is coming up and you need to make a big decision.

Will you waste your money on “bargains” you neither need nor even want?

…or are you going to put your money towards something you always dreamed of?

I suggest you do the latter and go in with a plan.

Find the items that’s on your dream wish-list, add them to basket (or any wish list option they might have), wait until the sale is on, check your basket…and if there is a great discount on one of them - you just bagged yourself a dream item 💪🏻

This way you won’t get tempted to buy something just because it’s a bargain or even have to browse through all those items to find the one you like.

No more shopping confusion!

So what is it going to be? 🤔

🤍Timelessness - what does it mean? 🤍

The word timeless is being thrown around a lot. But what does it actually mean in practice?

I personally use it for two purposes;

1. To describe an item that has a cut and shape that can stand the test of time. It’s not a part of a trend, even tho it can definitely fall into trend now and then.

It’s classic shapes that has been around for a long time and is still worn today without looking dated. It’s the backbone of fashion, the foundation all else is built from.

2. To describe an item that is timeless for you or me. Something we will want to use for a whole lifetime.

These items might not be as classic and as widely loved as the above, but they are genuinely true to your style and serves as the backbone of your personal wardrobe.

But for an item to be truly timeless, by both definitions, it needs to have the quality to last. An item in a timeless shape that will break is never a truly timeless piece.

Timelessness is closely intertwined with quality. The pieces in our wardrobe that has both are the most valuable items we own. They will allow us to look perfectly put together whilst at the same time saving us money by not having to buy the same item over and over again.

Why fashion is neither shallow nor unimportant. ☝🏻

An interest in fashion and clothes is often wrongly dismissed as vain and trivial.

One of the main points that these people are missing is non-verbal communication and the importance of matching our outside to our inside.

We shouldn’t care too much about what other people think about what we wear, but it’s worth considering if the story we tell with our clothes matches the one we feel on the inside.

This is easiest done with personal style. Putting some effort into figuring out what we truly love to wear, is never going to be a waste of time or energy.

If we feel confident and comfortable in what we wear, then we are more likely to relax and feel free to be ourselves.

And this does not mean that you have to be all dressy or fancy. It’s about being you.

Some people say they don’t care, and dress like they don’t care. So their look communicates exactly that.

Fashion is another type of expression, no matter how you choose to use it.
