That Spring Feeling...

A dispatch from inside my fashion brain

Happy Wednesday! Warmer days are on the horizon and my brain’s gone into full spring wardrobe mode — suede bags, trench coats and rosy fragrances. It’s the best time of year for layering, when you can still justify a coat but don’t need to commit to one.

Here’s what’s currently circling my mind, wishlist, and moodboard.

Middle of April Kind of Mood

• Aesther Ekme Lagune Shoulder Bag: I’ll never get enough of suede bags and this one really has my heart at the moment (and that discount is very tempting).

• Bottega Veneta Sunglasses: I have a sunglasses obsession and it doesn’t help that Bottega are always killing it. It’s the one piece that always instantly elevates any outfit. Aviators and trench coats, always.

• Old Celine Checked Coat: I was perusing some Old Celine, as one does, when I came across this coat. It’s like eBay knew that I’ve been searching for a checked coat and have yet to find the perfect one, so it taunted me with this. Big sigh followed by immediate add to wishlist.

• I saw these Massimo Dutti flats earlier this week and immediately thought of The Row’s Boheme flats. I might need to go back and get them… like, now.

  

• Magda Butrym Leather Jacket: Whenever I see a shade called ‘Bordeaux’ it just instantly feels more chic. I’ll never have enough Bordeaux in my life, especially when it comes in buttery leather and that signature Magda shoulder.

  

• Diptique’s Rose Roch Perfume: One of the simple pleasures in life is getting a new perfume. My new obsession is this Rose Roche one from Diptique and not just for its pretty packaging, it also smells divine.

• Pro-Collagen Marine Cream: Let’s talk skincare. After mourning the loss of Elemis’ beloved Superfood Night Cream, I found this. Rich, light and zero irritation. It’s my go-to nightly moisturiser.

• The new Dries Van Noten store. Obsessed. It’s like The Row Paris store meets metallics, mustard and marble.

That’s all for now, til next time,

Sophie xx
