…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.

GRWM - Christmas drinks 🎄

It has begun! The festive season is upon us and our occasional wardrobes are going to earn their keep.

An all black look can easily be somewhat boring, unless we spice it up with some different textures, layers and accessories to create that bit of excitement.

Add bows, fancy buttons, sparkly necklaces and sequins for some extra Christmas flair. 👌🏻

…and don’t forget that it’s totally encouraged to outfit repeat. Most of the time the guest lists for the different events won’t be the same anyways. 🤷🏼‍♀️

3 autumnal old money looks 🍂

Is look 1, 2 or 3 more your style? 🤔

Silk scarves, cashmere jumpers, turtlenecks, tweed blazers and leather riding boots. On their own understated statement pieces, and together they make up a very old money kind of wardrobe.

Autumn is the time when these pieces come into their own. It’s all about elegance alongside practicality.

Taking cues from Princess Di, Ralph Lauren and Katharine Hepburn for a classic, classy and put together look.

GRWM - Back to a chilly London again 🍂

I have left the balmy air of Miami behind and somewhat groggily been plonked down back in a very autumnal U.K.

As much as I love my travel capsule wardrobe, it’s definitely more fun to get dressed when I can add a layer or two.

One of the easiest way to look both autumnal and put together is to add tan and camel to a base of black. It’s a rich and luxurious combination that marries well and gives a fitting nod to the landscape outside.

Now really is the time to indulge in all the warming hues of autumn and enjoy layering before the warmest winter wear is needed.

Shape wear is one of the most misunderstood and underutilised categories in our wardrobes.

Yes, you will definitely look slimmer when wearing them, but there are so many more reasons why these should be a go-to tool in your wardrobe;

🤍 It makes your clothes fit and move better on the body.

🤍 It prevents VPL (visible panty lines).

🤍 They disappear seamlessly under almost any kind of fabric.

🤍 You won’t have any issues with static clinging.

🤍 They prevent dresses and skirts from riding up.

(🤍 and they keep me warm!)

@Honeylove makes the most thought through, size inclusive, and useful shapewear in lovely responsible, high quality fabric. 👏🏻

GRWM - Cocktails with the girls 🍸

This look is really elevated by all the different types of sheens. ✨

We have the smooth shine of the slinky silk camisole contrasting with a slightly coarser lustre of the recycled polyester in the structured trousers.

Add the sharp sparkle from the stones in the necklace and finish off with an almost liquid glaze of the silk trench coat.

It feels so luxurious all together and just takes the look to a whole different level. 🙌🏻

Texture is a beautiful thing. Never be afraid to shine ⭐️

🍁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.
