OUTFIT IDEA | Style Staples
Classics speak volumes in the world of fashion. From a chic pair of wide-leg denim and sturdy combat boots to a crisp white button-up and a timeless black wool blazer, these wardrobe staples withstand the test of time. Their appeal lies in their versatility, allowing for countless reinterpretations to match any personal style.
The key to a lasting wardrobe is investing in quality fabrics that endure years of wear. Whether you opt for high-end designer pieces or peruse more affordable options like those from COS, there's something available for every budget. When curating your capsule wardrobe, prioritize natural fabrics such as wool, cotton, and 100% denim for their durability and timelessness.
Below, I've compiled a list of my essential wardrobe items:
A well-fitted pair of wide-leg denim jeans: COS Jeans, $135 USD
Sturdy combat boots for both style and comfort: Ann Demeulemeester Cisse Boot, $855 CAD
A classic white button-up shirt, versatile for various occasions: COS Oversized Shirt, $99
A timeless black wool coat, perfect for layering: Dunst Tailored Coat via WConcept, $375 CAD
A fresh statement fragrance that's both bold yet wearable for day and night: Hermes Un Jardin à Cythère Eau de Toilette, $58-$203 CAD

OUTFIT IDEA | Sourcing Inspiration
I guess you could say I'm old school because I still love collecting print. Visiting the bookstore on weekends is one of my favorite activities. Whether it's fashion magazines or photography books, I'm always on the lookout for my next source of inspiration. During a recent trip to the bookstore, my outfit included a wool coat, wide-leg jeans, a cozy merino wool sweater, and classic combat boots from Ann Demeulemeester. It's a comfortable yet chic and timeless look perfect for weekend wear.

OUTFIT IDEA | Small Details Truly Matter
I watched a video this morning showcasing Hermes artisans' meticulous attention to detail in designing and crafting handbags. (Scroll down to watch.) From sketching new designs to using special materials for mock-ups and final production, Hermes accessories embody thoughtful craftsmanship. This reminded me of the significance of everyday items like bags, jewelry, watches, and glasses in enhancing our outfits and expressing our personal style. Accessories have the power to elevate even the simplest outfits like jeans and a cashmere sweater, reflecting our individuality. As we curate our wardrobe this year, remember the role accessories play in bringing life to our daily outfits because, as the Hermes video emphasized, small details truly matter.

OUTFIT IDEA | Denim Days
I just finished a campaign with GAP, and denim is back in focus. During a recent store visit, I had the chance to explore some new pieces for styling. Since campaign options are often limited to a line sheet, I chose classic wide-leg jeans, a denim jacket, and an iconic white t-shirt made from organic cotton.
Inspired by the denim selections, I created a lookbook centered aroundβyou guessed itβdenim. Featured are a deconstructed maxi skirt and a men's jacket from GAP, complemented by luxurious accessories from Bottega Veneta. Links to all items are included below, but feel free to shop your own closet for a similar look. Wishing you all a fantastic start to your week!

OUTFIT IDEA | Mohair & Penny Loafers
Playing with textures is a great way to add life to an outfit. Take, for example, this mohair blend polo shirt from H&M. The shape is classic, but the subtle fuzzy texture adds warmth to the outfit. The folded-over pants are a pair that I fell in love with instantly when I saw them at the Acne Studios store last month. It's a contemporary take on a classic that brings a simple polo/trouser combo to 2024.

OUTFIT IDEA | Rich Brown & Stripes
Stripes are a great way to add a touch of pattern and break up an all-black outfit. Since the pants, sweater, and coat are black, the striped turtleneck almost act like a color, breaking up the outfit and adding a lighter feel. The Raey coat featured here is mohair, adding texture and a chic element to this look. For accessories, I added some rich brown tones with the Tabi ballerina flats and a brown Acne Studios bag for contrast. As always, all items are linked below. Have fun styling what's already in your closet, but if you're looking to add something new to your wardrobe, shop mindfully and with intention. ;)

OUTFIT IDEA | Modern Maxi
A classic maxi skirt gets a modern update with a raw edge hem. Pair it with a white button-down and a cropped v-neck vest for a layered look. Opt for contemporary accessories like lace-up black boots and chunky tinted sunglasses for a pop. Finally, the Lemaire Carlos bag steals the show with its beautiful shell shape. This iconic handcrafted bag is truly unique and one that anyone would be lucky to have in their collection.

OUTFIT IDEA | Menswear Casual
Hi everyone! I'm excited to get back into Outfit Idea Inspo posts.

If you happen to be in the market for a new sweater, bag, or coat, for example, I provide links to all my favorites below. This post focuses on menswear-inspired dressing for winter. I recently returned from a trip to Quebec City with Porsche Canada, where I had the incredible opportunity to drive the 911 Dakar. During the trip, I was all about wool trousers, beanies, and warm sweaters. This outfit is my take on what I wore during that trip, adapted for everyday city life. Hope you like it!
