Wait, You Won’t Believe the Best T-Shirt I Own Only Costs $12

January 07, 2022 at 09:35PM When it comes to great clothing basics, I’m always on the hunt for the perfect items. Whether it’s a pair of jeans that goes with absolutely anything, a jumpsuit that can be dressed up or down, or a jacket that can take me through every season, the shopper in me never sleeps. For the past few years, I’ve been spending $90 (yes, $90) on what I thought was the “perfect” basic T-shirt. I thought I had found the holy grail of T-shirts, so I kept repurchasing it year after year, even though my wallet screamed in protest. I recently decided to start looking for a better, more affordable option, and I stumbled upon an absolute gem: Old Navy’s Short-Sleeve UltraLite Cropped All-Day Rib-Knit T-Shirt ($12). When I first received it in the mail, my expectations were definitely low.…

Sound the Alarm! These Editor-Loved Knee-High Boots Are on Sale for $29

January 07, 2022 at 08:20PM Knee-high boots are having a moment - for good reason! They’re chic as hell and can instantly transform a winter outfit from good to great. The thing is, the majority of styles that I’ve had my eye on cost well over $100. And as someone who shops savvy and hates breaking the bank, I’ve been waiting for just the *perfect* opportunity to arise to add a pair to cart. So when I came across the block-heeled Scoop Women’s Stove Pipe Knee High Croco Boots ($29, originally $59), I was cautiously optimistic. You see, I’ve shopped the Walmart brand’s Cozy Mock Neck Sweater With Balloon Sleeves and Faux Leather Jumpsuit before and fell in love with both. But, somehow, boots felt riskier, especially these ones, in particular, look like straight-up luxury. I purchased the burgundy pair, and when they…

Friday Faves

Friday FavesJanuary 07, 2022 at 06:05PM Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re finishing putting the Christmas stuff away – it’s taken a while lol- and celebrating Livi’s birthday! I can’t believe this little goose is turning 10 tomorrow. They say time flies and they don’t lie. We brought her home from the hospital to the very house we’re in now, where Bella used to guard over her in her bassinet. Her birth story in on the blog here. This girl is brilliantly smart, the kindest friend, an incredible gymnast and dancer, loves books, being the best big sister, and I can’t wait to see what she continues to do.  (Someone hold me. And yes, I’ll be making our yearly photo collage tomorrow!!) It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of…

Spring/Summer 2022 Trends: The Only 17 Looks You Need to Know About

January 07, 2022 at 03:30PM I am so excited about S/S 22’s fashion trends. The overarching mood was one of real optimism, but where the previous season perhaps went into overdrive with the desire (desperation?) to get dressed up for even the most low-key of weekly grocery shops, the outlook for S/S 22 is that there is a time and place to be extra fabulous but still a strong demand and a necessity for easy, simple, luxurious, gorgeous clothes and outfits you can fling on in a hurry. There are places to go, people to see and the many ensembles to suit. So while on the one hand there’s a very clear shift towards revealing, ultra-sassy, cut-to-here-and-slashed-to-there kind of dressing, there’s also a very chic, understated antithesis at play. It speaks to a modern shopper’s whims and natural inclination to change one’s mind. Some days you might channel Rosie…

Skiwear Looks to Channel Princess Diana on the Slopes

January 07, 2022 at 03:27PM It’s winter sports season again, and as we all gear up for another pandemic January, hitting the slopes is more enticing than ever (even if après ski is more your style). Whether you prefer to dash through the Black Diamond or sip on some mulled wine by a crackling fire, your outfit should be as eye-catching as the scenic snow-capped landscape. Naturally, bold patterns and vibrant colours should find a way into your skiwear collection, while retro silhouettes add a stylish flair to the often utilitarian looks of high-performance sports gear (think Princess Diana’s style from the ’90s and Lady Gaga in House of Gucci for some inspiration). The best part? You can always source some vintage pieces to get the nostalgic look without spending a fortune. From houndstooth ski suits to designer puffer vests and cashmere balaclavas,…

If I Had to Buy Only One Coat This Year, It Would Be This One

January 07, 2022 at 06:00AM If the Who What Wear team popped up in the next Marvel remake (a sight to behold), our super power would most definitely be the ability to spot a cult fashion item from a mile away. Not quite as useful as the power of flight, but we’ll take it. Our powers seem to be particularly spot on when we see a great piece on the high street that looks seriously luxurious for a more affordable price. Especially when it comes in the form of a wardrobe classic rather than being too trend-led. Well, that’s exactly what happened when we just came across this belted leather coat from & Other Stories.As we all know, leather coats are a completely timeless piece that slip into a capsule wardrobe very easily throughout the seasons, but also elevate your look as a statement piece. So when we…
