When Less is Better

Amongst the prevailing, inconsequential (read: exercise, eat healthier, bla, bla) resolutions I've made this new year  shines one that I plan on sticking to; buying less but buying better.

Growing up, I never went through any major anatomical changes so I never really had the excuse to get rid of clothes because they no longer fit. Fast forward a few years and I now find myself the not-so-proud owner of a burgeoning wardrobe filled with the most random items. My love for clothes and new purchases doesn't really help the situation either. This year I vowed to myself that I would start making my purchases count. The cardinal rule of building a timeless wardrobe is that of investing in basics and in 2014 that's exactly what I plan on doing. Each item I add to my wardrobe is to be an investment, one I will treasure and wear often… or until something newer and more shiny catches my eye. Just kidding!

Since the weather hasn't been very inspirational, I haven't as yet given these future items the thought they deserve but I've compiled a visual list based on the items that have caught my eye and over which I have not stopped lusting!

Tweed Biker



Hello all! Excuse my partial absence but I took some time off from the real world by using my birthday as an excuse.

Mexican Fall


No I'm not in Mexico (I wish), but this Zara coat is quote reminiscent of the home of the taco, all I need is a sombrero. I thought I'd let it live up to its glory, and wear a simple all-black outfit underneath to set it off nicely.

The New Ones


Thought I'd introduce two new items that will soon become a staple in my wardrobe. I wore both to work yesterday together with an (almost) all black outfit. Ones the lovely leather handbag I got from Massimo Dutti, then there's the Chinese Laundry royal blue flats I've been pining after for quite a while!

utilitarian


You've just got to love a Zara sale, and an oversized shirt of course! I've been living in this shirt for a week now. It's the epitome of comfort, and I find something so Parisian chic about the silhouette created when an oversized shirt is paired with straight-leg trousers.

Cropped


Here are a few snaps I shot before enjoying a lovely dinner on the eve of a public holiday. Bought these pants along with the tartan ones here from Zara. I'm loving both prints. And yes this is the same crop top Nicole wore here, only in black this time.

Sunday Circle: July Extras

We're hoping that by now you would have seen (and maybe even read) our latest article on The Sunday Circle (and if you haven't – no judgement – here's the link). So, as is customary, here are the shots that didn't make the final cut.

A Haul (A-Hole?)

WARNING: The quality of the photos has probably reached its lowest point. Rock bottom. Total crapfest. I'm sooooo sorryyyyyyy. Me no haz fancy camera or great interior design.

It's sale time! And summer! And yet those two things didn't correlate at all in my head when I made it rain all over River Island's bountiful titties! (Made it rain, as in spent money, not… other things.) I am still waiting for one more item to arrive – the one I'm most excited about, as it happens – as well as another booty call from Asos but, in the meantime, here's what I picked up in the Region of River Island in Cyber Retail Land.

Here Comes the Sun


The weather's getting warmer and it's time for simple clothing. I bought this as-simple-as-it-gets black dress from Asos along with some similar items because I know that the hotter it gets,the more billowy and ventilated I'd like my outfits to be. However, while its still relatively cool I wore this dress as a tunic over my black H&M split front trousers/leggings. Don't mind the twirling in the photos below, I'm not all that graceful, I know.

New Loot!

I thought it would be interesting to change it up from my usual outfit posts and show you some of my favourite purchases this month!

When I was younger I used to go totally overboard when I used to travel and would end up buying many items I'd later regret purchasing upon my return to reality!
Nowadays I try to take my time and invest in pieces that might be a little more pricey but that I know I will get more wear of and more of classic purchases.

Brand New


Just a simple work outfit, but I thought I'd post some images cos I got to wear my brand new shoes, the ones I mentioned in this post! They're entirely made of leather, which makes them delightfully comfortable.

Recent Purchases

Yo!

Just wanted to update you on some items I've recently bought online and in store. You won't be seeing my face in this post (yes, you may sigh in relief). I apologise in advance for the quality of the photos – I'm a s**t photographer.
