Fall Fashion; Baker Boy Moment

October 16, 2022

I’ve always been a hat girl with a collection to prove it, so each season I tend to find myself purchasing yet another one to add to the wardrobe…

I love fall as an opportunity to play with fashion and layer up again in the cooler weather. It’s also the perfect time to wear a cute hat which for me these days tends to be in the form of a beret, fedora or of course, my favourite baker boy.

So my newest addition to the hat collection is this gorgeous deep khaki green wool cap from Mango, available here – https://shop.mango.com/gb/women/hats-and-gloves/wool-cap-with-visor_37064020.html

I couldn’t wait to wear this out to the pub last Friday. I styled my new baker boy with a pair of black skinny jeans, a check shirt, my classic leather jacker, a cosy scarf and my Grenson boots; effortless, cool-girl, chic vibes.

After the pub I made us a steak dinner for two back at home. We had fillet steaks cooked medium rare, my special crispy new potatoes, sautéed onions, mushrooms, broccolini and asparagus, peppercorn sauce and plenty of salad, because no meal is complete without a heap of greens. A stunning meal too good not to share with you here! Hats off to the chef, moi. 😉

Fall Fashion; Sweater-vest Season

October 25, 2020

As we adjust to the autumnal weather and cloudier days during fall, I always get so excited to dig back into my wardrobe for those timeless knits and my favourite cosy coats. This season has seen a throwback to the 90s as the oversized sweater-vest becomes the style staple for layering this fall.

It would seem the sweater-vest is truly having its day again as trending fashionistas across social media show us how its done.

I remember the days my older sister would wear these with a hipster denim skirt and gold hoop earrings – super 90s kid vibes! Or even for those F.r.i.e.n.d.s fans out there, how could we forget Chandler’s knitted vest obsession!?

Now the way to wear the trusty sweater-vest is layered with an oversized shirt paired with a short skirt and chunky military or chelsea boots. Accessorising with a statement necklace and show-stopping knee high boots could take this look to new levels of sophistication.

After a root around my own wardrobe I was thrilled to find I still had a few of these old-school vests, so it was time to give them some love once again. I pulled together a cute outfit using this oversized knit from Zara, along with a man’s check shirt from Zara, layered over a little shift dress – again from Zara!

This combo is the easiest throw together outfit for fall 2020 and is sure to score you style inspo points instantly with minimal effort. Who knew channelling those Grandad vibes would be such a fashion statement!?
