A Style Guide to Winter Layering

It goes without saying that when the weather is this biting you need to dress accordingly, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear what you want to!

Matchy-Matchy: Collars, Cuffs and Earrings

I don’t consider myself a matchy-matchy dresser, I’m more than happy to wear clothes and accessories that clash or not even that exciting, just sit together and don’t say much.

How to Style Wide-Leg Trousers – plus video!

The Clash of the Stripes on Stripes

I mean, to be honest, it’s a cheap post because stripes never go out of fashion and I really mean that; they’re a perennial trend that always work in some stripe or another. Do you love to stripe? Are you, like me, something of a striped hoarder? I have a stripe in every thickness, colour… Continue reading The Clash of the Stripes on Stripes

Full-On Folklore Florals

I always find it difficult to define my style when asked, a classic question being ‘describe your style in three words’ which is impossible with a wardrobe full of different personalities. There’s the minimalist who loves a white tee with Levis 501s and a blazer, often leaning on androgyny with some sort of heeled boot.… Continue reading Full-On Folklore Florals
