I must say I am definitely not adventurous when it comes to my hair. I’ve pretty much had the same mid-length blunt cut all my life, only varying by a couple of inches. I do however consider my hair to be an important part of my personal style and over time have developed four simple [...]

As soon as I hit publish on my Method Dressing post, I knew I wanted to show you what the different approaches for building outfits could look like ‘in the flesh’. So, to illustrate the first technique, the modular approach, I picked six items from my spring capsule wardrobe (three tops and three bottoms) and [...]

As promised in the intro post of my new Everyday Outfit series, here’s another version of my April uniform. The same jeans and jewellery + a simple crew neck t-shirt from COS and sandals from Zara. If I could choose, every day would be like the past week temperature-wise: between 15 and 20 °C, warm [...]

I follow quite a lot of fashion blogs and I love to see what other people are wearing, but I sometimes wonder how many of them dressed up just for the shoot. I want this blog to be strictly about personal style and wardrobe building (rather than fashion and the newest trends) and above all [...]

This is what I wore: my favourite American Apparel Unisex Thermal, ripped jeans, chelsea boots and a tweed jacket by Zara. Chelsea boots by Asos Jacket by Zara Longsleeve by American Apparel [...]

The autumn/winter season is slowly coming to an end so I thought I’d use my current winter wardrobe to show you a finished product of the method outlined in my Building a Capsule Wardrobe 101 post, before it’s too late and I’m all wrapped up in spring/summer plans. I usually create a new capsule wardrobe and [...]

It’s been nearly one year since my first make up routine/ organisation post, and although it might seem as though I haven’t changed that much, my approach has become a lot more refined: I have scaled down my product collection even further, developed a fuss-free routine, optimised my storage method and now only own products [...]
