Recent Favourites & 10 Things for August

Sharing a glimpse into my styling philosophy

I always loved the idea to add a bit of variety to what I would describe as more minimal outfits that I wear frequently; for instance a silk scarf, jewellery or mixing textures. The outfit immediately looks a bit more interesting.

I’m always on the hunt for vintage scarves, cuffs and objects to integrate into my daily looks. It’s all about adding texture like leather, wool and silk and knowing how to keep the balance of good basics with a clean and simple colour palette with “louder” accessories or unique pieces.

Hermès silk scarf, three more that I love here, here and here.

clean lines - wearing a very old silk blouse, Camilla & Marc trousers (similar here) Sophie Buhai cuff and my new mini baroque pearl ring by Reut, a lovely brand from New York.

At one of our favourite restaurants in London, stacking my Libelula diamond ring with the mini baroque pearl ring

10 beautiful things for August that caught my attention:

1. Obsessed with everything pleated, love this Issey top

2. I tried these wedge heel slingback at Toteme last week and fell in love, can’t decide which colour I like more..

3. That top goes with everything and adds a bit more interest to an simple look

4. Kelly Rouge H currently on my wishlist

5. Dorsey bracelet and my all time favourite Tank on repeat. The watch usually comes with a black strap but I swapped it for the brown leather to add a bit more personal touch to it

6. I’m obsessed with the glasses, I immediately feel 10 times chicer when wearing them haha

7. Very pretty and unique Baroque Pearl Drop Earrings earings

8. Cute set with fringe details

9. On the hunt for some vintage pumps in cream or white.. love these

10. Addicted to shells, very special piece that I wore in Como a couple of months ago

adding a bit of variety to my very simple outfit - little pearl earrings, vintage Kelly bag, white tee, knit and my favourite grey jeans that I washed and wore quite a bit, I’m wearing size 26 for reference. I’m usually not a sneaker girl but the Miu Miu ones immediately caught my attention after seeing them on the runway. I also love Dries and The Row for trainers.

That’s all.
