Summer Essentials

The other day, I created a page for showcasing my curated selection of essential pieces - timeless yet interesting. I don’t think a piece of clothing needs to “basic'“ to be considered an essential. I like a bit of edge. All of these pieces above can be found there. And all of them are from The Row, by accident, whereby this might not be the most accessible ensemble, but come the summer, this is exactly how I’d like to get dressed. Right now, I have a thing for menswear-inspired shirts like the Sissa blouse. Rika Studios have a made a really nice one too!

Curve Sandal

I have a tendency (shocking haha) to wear anything I consider comfortable whenever I am at home. Now all the time, obviously. Like no jeans or any that sort of thing. But I am definitely beginning to reach a point where a bit of fashion (or feeling like myself on a normal day) would not hurt. This week I have made a point of putting on a nice shirt to lift up my mood and it really works. Maybe I will be wearing a pair of nice shoes next week. Who knows? But a pair of these Curve sandals would not hurt either.

Quarantine Ensemble

I haven’t worn denim (any nice things for that matter) during this quarantine thing. Sometimes I put on nice jewelry, as I think that levels up my mood a tad more - it is all about feeling comfy I guess. Here’s some things I am planning to get my hands on though. And, hell yes, I am still very into leggings.

Cassette Bag

I am late to the party but that is ok since a bag should always be an investment. I am usually late anyway. I am also a fan of shoulder bags as they come with a tendency of being practical (well thats is a first) and the Cassette by Bottega is beaut. I like this very light color too!

Mesh Flat In New Colors

Having said what I just said this is for my nurse friend. I have a pair of these mesh flats from The Row (a brand which has never felt more contemporary) in pale pink. Sorry not sorry they feel ridiculously comfortable on - I wore them a lot in Australia. This sock shoes now comes in new season’s colors which look really look! I love quirky twist they add to any outfit.

Eyes On Aviators

I lost my Cèline Edge sunglasses (read my favorite sunglasses) last summer. I tend to really treasure whatever I invest in so that was a bummer! As it is almost impossible to get them now, I have thought about getting these new aviators by Bottega.

Stay Home Mood

I trust you understand the vitality of staying at home in the current circumstances. If feeling comfy requires a new sartorial investment, then I would urge you to consider buying from a smaller label, as it is vital to support small businesses . One of them is VEN and they have decided to donate 10% of all their sales to The Trussell Trust and God’s Love We Deliver for the next 30 days. I wish bigger companies would also step up their game. Anyhow, this hoodie is gem and something you want keep forever!

Bottega Snake Sandal

This Bottega shoe might old news for those in the business, but since I have been enjoying the beach life instead of spending hours and hours on Net-a-Porter, I am only now letting you know how much I am obsessed with this shoe. They way they’ve styled the pair at Bottega - by wrapping them around the cuffs - is genius. I also prefer the flat style because, lets face it, they would be way more comfortable.

The Box

Even though I love being in Aussie, I might have a bit of a fashion week fomo… so many friends in Copenhagen right now!

Last year my Copenhagen highlight was a catch up with the lovely Sophie Bille Brahe ladies over some wine. SBB have just launched a new Trésor Velver jewellery box for all your beautiful pieces. It is a forever piece, no?

On My Mind

Winter usually makes me want to dress cosy and pair up a cashmere knit with utility boots or a pair of comfortable sneakers. All of them are great essentials! I love these trainers, designed in a collaboration by Cecilie Bahnsen and Diemme, as they have that modest Copenhagen vibe.
