style – inspiration
/stīl/ – /ˌinspəˈrāSH(ə)n/
The expression of personal taste through clothing, details and individual aesthetics; the ideas and influences that shape how we dress and develop our own signature style.
A little bit about me, where I’m from, and—of course—my style.I was born and raised in England, and I have always loved fashion—from following trends and thoughtfully accessorizing looks, to saving every penny for that must-have luxury item!
Fast forward a few years, and I now live a beautiful life in California. While I've always loved clothing, it wasn't until my 30s that I truly discovered fashion as a way to express my personality and develop my own sense of style.
As I began travelling more, I found inspiration in the different ways people dress around the world. I became more confident in my own style, learning to embrace the pieces, silhouettes and timeless staples that felt most like me. I also started to see my wardrobe in a new light, discovering how a little creativity and more intentional styling could bring fresh life to pieces I already owned.
My style is a bit of a global mosaic. I adore the effortless elegance of French fashion and the understated charm of British style, while also being drawn to a little Italian flair. A relaxed boho aesthetic feels just as natural to me as a structured, minimalist look — I love a neutral colour palette, classic silhouettes and timeless staples. Over time, I've found that some of my favourite looks come from taking little details and inspiration from the places I visit and making them my own.
Now, I sort through my closet monthly to keep it organized. I create a list of what I might need to work with certain pieces so that when I do shop, I’m focused. It definitely helps stop those needless impulse purchases! When I do buy new pieces, I bring them home and make sure they work with what I already own. For some reason, trying them on at home is much more revealing than a dressing room. But don't get me wrong—my favorite way to shop is still in-store. There is nothing quite like the tactile experience of in-store browsing—seeing the quality, feeling the materials, and knowing if a piece truly fits my style.
More recently, I’ve discovered a deep passion for all things vintage. Over time, I’ve melded these different loves for fashion, styling, and travel into a lifestyle that works for me and that is exactly what I’m here to share with you.
