Refined, dressy, weatherproof, comfy, and a slim fit on the foot. Narrow fit on the ankles too. Might need to size up. The beauty of this boot is the extra long shaft. This makes it look like you're wearing tall boots under midi and midaxi skirts and dresses. The high shaft creates fab lower leg coverage for cropped pants too. No bare ankles.

This is a WOVEN eyelet polo shirt and another beautiful quality piece. It's soft, pretty, fluid, and fits well if you like polo shirts. I fell in love with it and got it as a high Summer top. 100% cotton and very breezy. If you wear it with a bra that is low contrast to your skin tone, you don't need a camisole. Or wear a nude-for-you or white camisole.

Sleek, streamlined and classic. Works on a range of body types. Works well on a larger bust. Subtle and simple. Beautiful quality and fabric. Absolutely GORGEOUS detailed stitching on the front and back that accentuate the princess lines. Versatile length for skirts and dresses. It's more of a maxi length on me, and I'm 5ft 6. Comes in tan. The navy is mine.

The best puffer coat of all time if you like them heavy, streamlined, long and a little avant-garde. The hood is a genius design, and the layered inner is a fun touch. Impeccable quality. Extremely warm and runs small. Fit is narrow so consider yourself warned.

This interesting navy lace beauty made it into my wardrobe as a more relaxed formal piece. It looks fitted, but it's fluid and A-line in person. VERY comfortable. It's also longer on me, which is my preference. The straps of the slip dress can be adjusted, which means you can wear it with a regular black bra. It has the daintiest and most refined lace collar, and pretty rouleau loop buttons on the sleeves. I shorten the straps of the slip dress so that there is a broader sheer lace edge at the bottom. I wear it with low heeled gold loafers and big gold vintage Yorkie brooch. I LOVE it, and know it will come in handy when I need a dressy dress that isn't that formal.

An AMAZING dress if you like the classics, a bit of prep, and a Modern Retro vibe. The volume on the skirt is sleek and streamlined despite the gathers, and the fit is VERY comfortable. Lovely fabric and a scrumptious fit AS LONG AS YOU LIKE TO DEFINE YOUR WAIST. It can be dressed down with flats like you see in the photo, and I prefer the sleeves scrunched. The bow makes the dress to my eye so don't remove the belt. Comes in five colours. The navy followed me home. Very, very pretty dress WITH POCKETS. Now I want all the colours.

Tailored and beautifully made, this suit blazer might earn a place in my wardrobe with a pair of pants to match. Gorgeous fabric. The mismatched window pane insets add an interesting touch.

100% cotton and FABULOUS. This navy and cream zip-through top is tailored, comfy and polished. I zip it up completely because it looks sharp and dressier that way. Good high neckline for Team Long Neck, and as lovely un-zipped a little too. It's mine and looks great with navy lantern pants and sailor pants, and ecru barrel leg jeans.

I have this navy darling and love it. It's tailored, 100% cotton, and very comfortable. I find the graphic playful yet crisp, versatile, dressier than it looks because it's refined, and fab with my pearls. It's in high rotation already.

Dressy metallic sweaters are hard to find, and this one comes in NAVY. I have my eye on it for my formal capsule. Comes in black.

Impeccable dressy sailor pants with a back zip and great fit if you don't mind a higher rise. Quite roomy in the thighs, and gorgeous fabric. Beautiful quality. Chic and dressy. Very long hems that are easy to shorten. I got these and love them.

I like Everlane's dark wash denim, their relaxed cuts, sustainable and ethical manufacturing practices, and the turn-up on this style in blue. These earned a place in my wardrobe because they are on-trend, roomy, dark, 100% cotton, fit like a dream and very comfy. I LOVE the small cuff.

I bought these and absolutely love them. Thick, substantial, not see-through, no stretch, sustainably and ethically produced, and with a button fly. They are just the right relaxed straight fit that is my favourite at the moment. Boyfriend-y but without the slouch. Perfect tailored fluidity. Size down a size. Super cute staggered hem detailing too so click the link to see that in detail. IMPORTANT: The stock photo shows them ripped, but the ones in stores are NOT ripped, and I bought those.

I've tried on many pairs of white denim wide crops over the years, and said no thank you to all of them until I fit on these. (Not that I'm fussy or anything!) The fabric is extremely substantial and opaque, and the drape is sublime. No pocket lining grinning. The thigh and crotch point fits are very flattering. You feel like you're wearing quality right away. I sized up because I preferred the architectural drape of the leg and roomy crotch point fit on the larger size. But that did mean I had to have the hips, bottom and waist altered a size down. They are dramatic and wide at the hems so consider yourself warned. Very hemmable. Awfully fun to wear in Summer and into Autumn with boots.

Avant-Garde Jeans Fabness. This one is for Team Gold because the hardware is gold and glitzy. They are dressy, dramatic, and can function as a party piece. The high rise is girdling and comfortable. The denim does not bag out, and is thick and substantial. If you want them to fit like the model, they run TTS. I wanted a snugger fit so I sized down. They remind me of '80s Versace which makes me smile. Pricy, but will not date. A quality piece that oozes a luxe integrity. They earned a place in my wardrobe, and can work for holiday parties.

Thick and very structured with just the right amount of stretch. Not see-through at all. Works well on a straight and curvy body type, although the waistband might need alteration on a relatively small waist. Plenty of length for tall gals. Fab swagger on the flare.

I got this in the cream to wear under my new sandy windowpane Hugo Boss pants suit with hybrid gold wing top sneakers. or cream boots. The cream is rich, and the fabric feels yummy and substantial. It's mostly made of an eco-friendly viscose, which is a natural fibre. I love the higher neckline of the hood. It also perfectly matches my new cream combat boots so it will get lots of wear.

Best refined and subtle square toe at the NAS for low volume feet. I got these because they are almost identical to a pair I'm wearing into the ground. Buttery soft, stable, and dainty. I love the chunky wooden heel. Beautiful sleek snip toe silhouette. Crisp and very polished. The white is softer than the darker patent options. Runs NARROW.

I retired an old pair of white sneakers that started hurting my feet, and replaced them with these that are MUCH more comfortable. They were too wide for my low-volume and narrow feet, but I fixed that by placing a spongy double insole underneath the insole that came with the shoes. Now they fit really well. They are very crisp, clean, simple and classic. I love them. Might duplicate or get the pink. Check the colours with matching soles.

These are GREAT, and earned a place in my wardrobe. They are chunky in a refined way and super comfy. The long shaft makes them ideal to wear with midis, midaxis, and cropped pants. The tailored fit on my ankles and shaft is welcome too. Easy side zipper access. Comes in an interesting shade of olive, black, and toffee.

Dandy Fabness. More of a heeled loafer than a pump. It’s gloriously comfortable, super soft, and does not squish your toes. The stable block heel is magical. Visually, it shortens the foot a little, which might look stumpy so consider yourself warned. All the colours are nice. The gold is considerably brighter than the metallic brown or black patent. Works quite well for higher volume feet. My low volume feet were very happy and the gold followed me home as potential holiday party shoes. They are a good match with cropped jeans and trousers, and an unexpected match with dresses. I like them with dresses, and did not find them stumpy.

A comfortable and VERSATILE classic ankle strap pump with a low block heel. Wear it year round with or without hosiery. An easy party or office shoe. Lots of colours, of which some options are more comfortable than others. Will not work for wide feet. Read the rave reviews.

An adorable casual and on trend pom pom hat for a smaller head. All the colours are nice. I bought the cream.

Liquid Satin Fabness that comes in three colours. The satin has a subtle pebbled texture, which adds to the depth of the style. The bias cut is NOT skimpy and moulds to the shape of the body in a gliding way. Not fitted at all, but very streamlined. I was hoping the skirt would be longer on me – but it’s not. Same length as the model. I need to play around with the skirt to see if I love it enough to keep it. It’s a SUMMER skirt for me. Not lined and very lightweight. STUNNING fabric and colour. Luxe and gorgeous against the skin.

A fun navy tulle skirt that does not pouf out too much. Great length that is easily hackable. Great drape, and delicious swoosh factor. It's on its way to me. It might be THE one.

A sustainably and ethically produced soft and comfy cotton tee in a boxy cut. Comes in black. It sold like hot cakes, and will probably be restocked. I suspect it runs big so I've ordered a size down. It's also CROPPED in person, so shorter than on the model.

Smocking and gingham are on-trend, and I fell in love with this rami-viscose NAVY natural fibre, awfully pretty dress. The smocking is not constricting. It's super soft, drapey, extremely comfy, and is a perfect hot-weather frock for my style. Alluring, yet covered. I love the '70s integrity of it, and can't wait to wear it.

G-Star manufactures extremely sustainably and ethically, so they are always on my radar. This is the type of raw urban A-line midi denim skirt I was looking for last year, so I'm giving it a go. It runs small.

The denim is stiff, dark, dressy, and with a little sheen, which lends itself perfectly to the architectural silhouette of these sustainably and ethically made jeans. They are very balloon-y on a straighter figure, and less so on a curvier figure. They have a Japanese integrity and make a big statement. They earned a place in my denim capsule.

I have these for my beach and pool capsule. VERY comfy and a great streamlined fit. I feel great in them. They are excellent quality, do not stretch out, and have a good mid rise. The soft and stretchy fabric moulds to the shape of your figure, but does not cling. Personally, I love the longer length, and wear them unrolled to cover the knee.

A beautifully made casual canvas tote that comes in five happy variations. It lies flat against the body and isn't too heavy. Fits well over the shoulder. Somehow it's quite structured. This earned a place in my beach & pool capsule. I have a navy polka dot bikini that works well with it.

One of the best structured knit tops I've seen this season. Soft and lovely fabric that's not too clingy. Very fitted and a little dressier. The ruched sleeves are pretty, different, and a nice length. They work well on both broader and narrower shoulders. It runs TTS and not large as Nordstrom suggests. Comes in white. The regular size works well on petites. Fab under jackets. It's crisp and polished, and therefore unexpectedly found a home in my wardrobe.

A beautifully crisp peplum sweater that swooshes as you stride. Substantial fabric, and I HOPE it's a quality knit. It's form-fitting and best on a longer neck and regular or smaller bust. Too short for long waists and rises. The navy earned a place in my wardrobe. I'm wearing it over high-rise jeans and pants.

I have this little structured barrel darling on order to go with cream footwear and scarves. It's a trendy nod to the '90s, but has a fab classic element to it. It does NOT lie flat against the body when worn as a crossbody. Instead, it's a bit bulky, so you have to be okay with that. Comes in a lovely shade of mustard.
