New Season Update

Updating my wardrobe with key buys from NET-A-PORTER

In collaboration with NET-A-PORTER

I’ve been investing in good-quality basics for a few years now and have a strong edit of jeans, T-shirts, and knitwear that I wear on rotation. So, when it comes to the new season, a few key buys will update and refresh my wardrobe.

Toteme Belted Bag Over Dress

First up, Toteme’s bucket bag. Simplicity and longevity are what I look for when investing in a designer bag, and this one ticks both boxes. It’s a great size and one that was missing from my wardrobe, having either oversized totes or smaller evening bags to choose from. It’s big enough for all the essentials, and I love the option of holding the handle or wearing it on my shoulder.

Pairing with Frankie Shop’s blazer (XS), I love the nipped-in waist and exaggerated shoulders. A pair of black, straight-leg Toteme jeans (28). I was looking for a smarter pair of jeans and these are a great shape and length. And Aeyde low-heel boots, just the heel size I need for a bit of height but still comfy enough to run around town.

Loafers have been a mainstay in my wardrobe for the past few years, so I know I get the wear out of them and that they’re always a good investment. But could I justify another pair? When it’s Saint Laurent’s Le Loafer, I think so. I’ve resisted burgundy so far this season but fell in love with their signature pair in glossy burgundy the minute I saw them appear on NET-A-PORTER (religiously checking New In is my favourite pastime).

They add something to my go-to look of denim and a blazer, and I love them with a grey sock. I’ve teamed them below with my LESET Margo Tee (S), a new favourite. Khaite’s Abigail jeans (27) and the Frankie Shop blazer (XS).

My Two Moods for Winter from NET-A-PORTER New Season Collections

As we approach winter, I’m looking forward to embracing cosy accessories, knitwear and my shearling footwear. I’m loving Fairisle cardigans and Ugg Tasmans. &Daughter has me wanting a knitted hood, triangle scarf and bright-coloured wool sweaters.

But then, let’s not forget party season; if I’m going to tear myself away from my sofa, I want to look good doing it. Róhe’s lace top is in my basket; I think it will look so chic with tailored trousers and a belt. Sonia Petroff’s embellished belt reminds me of a vintage piece and is just the accessory I need to add interest to my simple evening looks. And I couldn’t love this Zimmerman dress more, sexy, understated and oh so cool.
