A few sunny days have made me start thinking about spring style.
If I’m investing in clothes at this time of the year, it’s because I think they’ll add some new season magic to my wardrobe and refresh the other things I already own. Sometimes it might be a new shape – like the Kara Denim Bomber below, or Arket’s barrel leg chinos.
Sometimes it’s adding a new colour – right now I am loving olive green and soft putty shades, so this Radley bag and M&S henley both hit the spot. Or it could even be a little detail, like Mejuri's Dôme cuff bracelet, H&M earrings and Lorraine leather gloves, that just bring a new point of interest.
I’m still very much focused on staying warm – this Isabel Marant jumper is super stylish but really cosy too, and although it’s pricey, I think it’s really versatile and the kind of thing you’d love and wear forever. I’m also slightly obsessed with these COS boiled wool trousers which feel relaxed but also polished.
Hopefully you’ll find something here that gets you excited for new season shopping again too. Enjoy!
