I am bored in the house and I’m in the house bored…with the concept of wearing jeans not entirely thrown out the window – it has already been day 30 since I have last worn a pair of denim.
It’s time to get a little more creative with our new “normal” daily attire, wearing pyjamas all day, ditching classic grey oversized sweatpants and old college crewnecks…reaching for more exciting tie dye sets and colourful cotton pullovers – even if that means going to work most days from our bedroom to the kitchen table.
The debate on whether leggings qualifies as fashion, our edit of the best brands will introduce you to labels like: NAMA LuxKnit, Skin and Nap.
So today on the blog let’s take advantage of these next few minutes and share a few stay home essentials I am currently living in as of late…comfy loungewear, cozy robes and throw blankets, everything from soft tees, cashmere and knits.
Perfect for the elite, what once was reserved for home furnishings and bedsheets fashion has declared the linen trend “COOL”. A large button up shirt and pant with a classic oversized silhouette is quite comfortable. Keep it open and slouchy which will instantly make you look chic while staying casual.
Not sure how to style them without throwing on slippers and calling it a day? Footwear with the same laidback feel, like mules or loafers, are a super simple addition that look and feel effortless.
There’s nothing wrong with wearing the same old sweatpants from sophomore year…and just when I thought things couldn’t get any cozier around here, I opting for fitted joggers in a luxurious fabric (sponsored by Naked Cashmere like shown in the picture below) – knitted in a single jersey stitch from a 100% cashmere, this super-soft Campbell matching set in charcoal grey is one of my favourites for lounging around. Again opt for neutral hues to keep the look sophisticated and streamlined.
Switch it up or down and wear the new Babaton AGENCY BLAZER, oversize tee and biker short. Feels like BUTTER, keep the colour scheme neutral with muted beige, light grey, black and white.
In 2023 Nostalgia plays a role, ranging from the laid back tomboy side of 90s sitcom characters such as Racheal Green there is an overlay with sportswear and logo, where branding is important. Simply add your favourite pair of white sneakers and sunnies and you will always look like a minimal Nordic fashionista.
Good Morning, you are my sunshine! I just wanted to say a hi! …and share a few images of one of many recent finds, obsessions and favourites. Besides having to avoid red wine and pasta stains…you know, being Italian and all! I love a white dress and couldn’t resist.
Cute as can bee, I absolutely love the eyelet details and puffy sleeves. So delicate and sweet, double lined and extremely soft, I paired this dress with the cutest straw boater hat, and the prettiest brahmin bag.Super comfy and extra soft leather made in the mountains of Italy are where you can find fabulous for less, shop todays this years shoe collection.
Oh the possibilities to wearing a white dress. Dress it up, dress it down, wear it to brunch, vacation and summer soirees – from printed tights, beige sandals and sunnies, keep it looking fabulous with a pearl necklace and earrings to match. Also love the way it works as a beach cover up! Best of all, here at the Village, get savings up to 50% off on a mix of designer and affordable brands like Maska and Pellini Milano Paris.
As my love affair for Patricia Nash continues (in todays kitchen located at Mintroom Studios) – think round, circular and lemon wedge, from straw, to wicker, rattan handbags continue to be the basket trend of the season. These natural, grainy textures compliment both neutral and colourful tones, adding a feminine and vintage touch to any look. They are stylish, practical, and utterly charming! Women would take large woven straw bags to the farmer’s markets, garden centres and stock up with fresh fruits and vegetables, sunflowers, honey and lavender.
Straw obsessed Cantinella crochets and the Antinianna wicker bag happens to be my absolute favourite – with its leather handles, round shape, and accent scarf, a built in mirror, touching up makeup is going to be a breeze.
Nice hat?!
Currently I am rotating between a fringe trim, wide brim and floppy hat – it is the perfect companion for vacationing across Europe – London, Ireland & Italy! Not only do they keep the sun at bae but are great for hiding perfectly imperfect bad hair days.
To top it off they’re plenty of hat trends I’m quite smitten with, and this summer hats are big! Really big! Think floppy rather than frou frou, when purchasing your next chapeau.
From straw boaters, wooly fedoras and even a fisherman style cap these lightweight toppers are aesthetically pleasing, while being practical and cool! (pun intended)
RiverIsland has quickly become one of my favourite brands and retailer. I can always count on for beautiful, unique and quality pieces. Spotted: A cropped mini shirt and right away I added it to my shopping cart.A two in one, what time is it? Summer time…!Swap the “skort” for a high rise white eyelet jean.
A few extra seconds…tick tock, goes the cuoco clock! Only to sing and dance my way out of bed in the morning. Buried under a dozen sheets, I tell myself “five more minutes and i’ll get up”
Underneath the dial are ten toes dancing to a thousand little raindrops. Having an effective and efficient morning routine, can be very therapeutic.
This morning…you’re probably wandering, “COMON Girl”! get to the point, what products do you use?!
Down below are just a few easy steps to my everyday skin care regimen.
I ensure my skin is cleansed, exfoliated, hydrated and moisturized. In addition to drinking enough water everyday and eating a balanced diet. I don’t know about you, but most days I don’t have time to throw together a healthy breakfast. Which is why i’ll make my own simple smoothie. A perfect combination of milk, bananas, strawberries, blueberries and honey, to start the day off right.

Mix and match for a personalized routine, that fits the needs of your skin type. I am all about adding new products into an everyday beauty routine.
After cleansing my skin but before moisturizing I use Lancome’s Genifique Serum formulated with a blend of 7 prebiotic extracts, hydraulic acid and ceramide. A serum that helps give your skin a fresher, younger, healthier appearance.
Take 1/4 ripe avocado and banana, mash it up in a bowl until it turns lump free. Mix 1 teaspoon of plain organic yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon of honey. Stir them well until you get a paste of uniform consistency. Apply the mask onto your skin for 10 – 15 minutes or until it dries out.
This is the perfect me time mask that restores my skin back to its natural glowing radiance. By the end of the day my skin is feeling so baby butt soft!
Im pretty minimal when it comes to makeup. I love a natural look! My go-tos for achieving that everyday no makeup, makeup look is to keep everything natural and lightweight with Bare Minerals Glow and Tint Foundation. This adds a luminous and dewy glow to the skin. Conceal any areas of unwanted pimples and redness. To ensure long lasting results, I like to use a Milk Primer before and after Chanels Natural Finish Loose Powder. Keep it super simple on the eyes by adding a little bit of highlighter. For a pop of colour, it is best to use one that is closest to your natural lip as well as a touch of blush and finish off with a voluminous mascara.
