With my wardrobe refresh underway, sale season cou With my wardrobe refresh underway, sale season couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m focusing on versatile pieces I can mix and match - building a cohesive wardrobe that will serve me well for years.

Black Friday is around the corner, but we’re shopping smart. 

These @miladyssa favourites have caught my eye help me decide which ones I should add.

Mark your calendar for 25 November.
It’s almost DAHLIA SEASON again! @susie_leblond_ It’s almost DAHLIA SEASON again! @susie_leblond_flourish_farm has opened my eyes to the joy and beauty of flowers - and their unique, devastatingly fleeting beauty. Her “pick your own” sessions always sell-out, so book now (link in her profile). R475 to wander among the dahlias, pick a (generous) bucket of blooms, and just spend a little time exhaling in her perfect oasis in Constantia. Swipe through for a few of my favourite blooms over the years.
I love it when a plan comes together - this is exa I love it when a plan comes together - this is exactly the outfit I had in my head when I pulled the trigger on these pants (last year; old from @superbalist I’m sorry). Different style for me - both pants and waistcoat - but, I think different is exciting and good. Style refresh underway ✨
Chatting to friends recently, we spoke about how w Chatting to friends recently, we spoke about how wonderful it is to find joy and appreciate the magic of the little things. And today was filled with little things. To most people - not extraordinary or noteworthy. But to me, the perfect Saturday. A great gym session. A phenomenal time at the beach. A homemade breakfast sandwich, and fresh, ripe, crunchy, sweet watermelon. A Saturday of gratitude.
You may just see a dress, but there was a LOT of b You may just see a dress, but there was a LOT of bravery and self-talk to actually put it on and walk out the door to the office. It’s short, I think I own one dress that shows my knees, so it’s a big step in me overcoming an insecurity. If you swipe right, you’ll see that body image and confidence is really in your head - and not necessarily about what’s staring at you in the mirror.
Here we go! Chatting about how I’m approaching m Here we go! Chatting about how I’m approaching my wardrobe refresh - navigating style and body changes, and how I’m trying to approach this project systematically, to build a long-term; sustainable wardrobe of clothes I love. I’d love to hear from you in the comments below 🫶🏼

(For fit notes and body shape context: I’m 1.68m tall, with a long torso and short legs. My waist is also relatively small compared to my hip and butt measurements).

We’ve reached “I spend 86% of my time in swimw We’ve reached “I spend 86% of my time in swimwear” season and I am here for it. My summer to-do list is ready - a delightful collection of tidal pool swims, floating in giant doughnuts, post-swim, sandy-toed pizza and aperol and that feeling of getting into bed at the end of the day knowing you got a little too much sun - but, have absolutely no regrets. What’s NOT on the list? Feeling self-conscious in your costume, hiding on the beach, paying any action to cellulite, wobbly bits or anything else. Who’s with me?
Swipe through for scenes from a very wholesome wee Swipe through for scenes from a very wholesome weekend. I was chatting to friends recently about what a privilege to be grateful for the small things, to find joy in the “mundane” - and, to love being “home”. I think this weekend perfectly encapsulated that - sunshine and swims, lunch and ice cream, walks and gym. Nothing particularly noteworthy on paper, but absolutely perfect nonetheless.

Getting back into my fitness routine post-Covid (l Getting back into my fitness routine post-Covid (look at the 🦠 highlight on my profile if you want the full story) has been a challenge - but, honestly - more a mental one than a physical one. Once I got the all-clear from my doctor, I was dreading going back to the gym: it was my happy place, and I was terrified of going back and feeling weak and unfit. The reality? Thanks to my fitness before I got sick, the journey to “normal” has been quicker and easier than it would have otherwise been. I’ve never been more grateful for my body or health - a collection of moments to celebrate my post-Covid pneumonia healing journey 💪🏼❤️
Better sleep really does = a better me (and the ea Better sleep really does = a better me (and the earlier the better, I live for a 17h30 dinner reservation!) So, for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth I’m sharing three things I do for my own mental health every day - with great sleep really laying the foundation, thanks to @sloom.co.za
