Nothing wrong here to be found about the trench, but what if we wanted more from our Spring Jackets ?

Really like how simple and sleek this one looks. Its 135 GBP and does a perfect job at creating a whole silhouette, with just a black base layering of tshirt and fluid pants. Linked here


I think the current fashion state says a lot about our year, only Q1 into it, and a commun sense of exhaustion is flirting in the air. The permanent musical chair within the designer world, as well as the market’s rise and loss is forcing consummers to focus on pieces and brands they know are certain, and have an efficient promise.

I think we are ready for a break, or an impact. And the same goes with our wardrobes. I wrote on this newsletter - about the items that I am reaching out too recently, as the weather changes. I have been investing a lot in strong staples, and practical items, the one that take me from school drop off to diner.

I realise these are the items I don’t have to dig out because im with them all year long, I just add a layer or two, thicker or not.

Mind you we are a bit forced to do that, where brutally cold winds meet warmth and sunglasses weather. But also because there is nothing more challenging, than to get dressed for the in-between weather. Like nothing more annoying and frustrating than meal time with no hunger.

The nor here nor there is not ideal, and this is why some items do the job for us. I call it the onion season.

Time should not be spent not knowing what to wear, it can put one in a very difficult mood and doing a dis-service to how you live your life. Here are the uniforms, or items i am reaching for recently, in order to live a life full of transitions, whether they are dictated from the weather or your own lifestyle.

Aside from uniform there is also some good wardrobe staple pieces, the one I invest in, and happy to wear again, and over again.

The windbreaker or anorak is one of my favorite item at the moment, because in its essence lives a lot of lifestyle: practicality, travels, between Spring and Summer, but also living in the bottom of a stroller, or a bag, back of a chair forgotten at the office.
