my signature style

28th November 2016
Over the last few months my jewellery collection has grown somewhat. It has grown to the point where I actually needed to purchase a jewellery box for the first time since i was 12 and had one of those musical jewellery boxes with the little ballerina precariously perched on a Spring, twirling to the sound of “It’s a small World”. This new jewellery box is gloss white and simplistic, much like my signature style. Over the years it has become more and more important to hone your own personal style, as if it were your business card, and these rules apply throughout the blogging industry. So as part of my collaboration with Monica Vinader, and love affair with the Signature Bangle, I decided to explore the notion of developing your signature look, perfectly.   [lem_title]Care Less[/lem_title] One thing that has helped my style develop the most over the years has been my ability to give less f***s. Not caring what people think of your style and simply dressing how you feel good has been my most valued asset over the years. If I want to wear the same trousers every day for an entire season, I will, If I want to mix and match my hardware, I will and if I want to wear a skirt in Winter when the temperature hasn’t quite dropped yet, I WILL. All you need is confidence.     [lem_title]A Creature of Habit[/lem_title] If it isn’t broke, why fix it? That is what I always say. When it works, it works I don’t need to change something for the sake of changing it. Be it nude lips, all black outfits or chelsea boots. I stick to what I love and if I need to I’ll buy it in 20 different colours just to be safe. […]

[lem_title]Care Less[/lem_title]

One thing that has helped my style develop the most over the years has been my ability to give less f***s. Not caring what people think of your style and simply dressing how you feel good has been my most valued asset over the years. If I want to wear the same trousers every day for an entire season, I will, If I want to mix and match my hardware, I will and if I want to wear a skirt in Winter when the temperature hasn’t quite dropped yet, I WILL.

[lem_title]Sentimental[/lem_title]

I am incredibly sentimental, I always have been. I want to remember everything and I often feel pangs of nostalgia over old sweaters, perfumes and even words. The lyric of a song or a sentence from a book can transport me back to times I’d long forgotten so I love the idea of being able to scrawl them on a scrap of paper and have them engraved, poor handwriting and all, onto my favourite bracelets from Monica Vinader. This is like tattoos for the girl that doesn’t like tattoos.

[lem_title]Choose well[/lem_title]

My Mantra in life basically, just choose well. Rather than big orders from online stores, I take time a choose well so that I rarely have to send anything back. My wardrobe is bursting with items I’ve spent months contemplating and those items get worn time after time, season after season.

Some see expensive items, I see CPW.

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
