My Personal Style
1. I have a healthy obsession for big, roomy bags that will allow me to throw all my books and new shopping purchases into. As my friends know it, I like to carry the world with me, everywhere I go.
2. Dresses make up nearly 90% of my wardrobe - I simply LOVE them! You'll find them in every colour, material and style for any weather and all seasons of the year. You'll never find me in a skirt and I hardly ever wear jeans. I prefer tights and leggings (though not when worn as pants alone!).
3. My biggest gripe about shoe shopping is that I can personally never find any that are comfortable AND cute. It's always one or the other.... Neverthless, I love to splurge on ballet flats and slouchy boots.
4. I love to accessorise and my wardrobe reflects this. I have over 3 drawers filled with scarves, racks and racks of necklaces & belts, and many shoeboxes containing rings I've collected over the years. I like the mix of vintage and modern high end pieces that I own.
5. The colours you'll most often find me wearing are: black, brown, grey, purple, teal.
6. I am very fond of vintage pieces and I have many items handed down to me by my mother and grandmother. My current favourite is the belt collection I recently inherited; some of those belt buckles from the 60-70s are simply extravagant!
7. I would describe my style as romantic, feminine and sophisticated. Whilst I love ruffles, tulle, sequins and bows, I also like to keep my look clean and well put-together.
8. If I am leaving the house, I will always put an effort into dressing nicely. It was never over the top, but I made sure I looked presentable even as a student going to Uni.
9. I don't wear make-up on a daily basis and when I do, it is strictly only for special occasions like weddings, birthday celebrations or formal dinner parties. I'm very low maintenance on this front.
10. I love to mix what others would consider eveningwear, like sequinned dresses, with woolly cardigans or simple opaque tights to "dress it down". Or wear evening bags during the day...

Every spring and summer wardrobe needs a basketweave handbag.
Here's why:

The woven basket is a beautiful piece for creating a laidback, carefree, nature-loving look; adding a touch of simple sophistication that would be hard to achieve with any other handbag on the market. Wear it with a floral sundress, pair it with some denim jeans, showcase it as the centerpiece of your countryside-inspired living room or use it to hold your Sunday afternoon picnic goodies... the possibilities are endless!
