“If you’ve been on social media at all, you know that maxi skirts are trending. I’m really on board with this trend and have added three to my wardrobe. Not only do they offer comfort, but [they] also [offer] a quick solution when I feel like I don’t know what to wear. They instantly elevate any look and are so versatile. You can wear them with anything from a simple T-shirt to a blazer and tank look.” — Andrews-Cater

“I never thought I’d utter these words, but I’m adding small touches of yellow—mostly pale yellow—into my wardrobe for spring and summer. Yellow sits nicely with all of my minimal, neutral closet staples, and I have loved yellow in small doses, mostly accessories.” — Andrews-Cater
This will easily blend in with your neutral basics.
The perfect hue for sunny days.

“I’ve been reaching for my new leather jacket from My Essential Wardrobe more than I thought I would. It’s a nice alternative to a blazer or heavy coat moving into spring. For me, true style is about mixing up your pieces. I love wearing my distressed leather jacket with skirts and more feminine pieces, as well as simple denim and tee looks. It’s a must-have, game-changer piece for me in my closet.” — Andrews-Cater
No need to size up, this one’s perfectly oversized.
The chic crop works well with high-waist silhouettes.
I’m saving up for this one.
My favourite brown version around.
“Being a minimalist, I tend to wear my simple everyday jewellery all of the time, but I have been gravitating toward a statement earring, necklace, or ring lately when I go out or to an event. Again, I like the juxtaposition of, for example, vintage Levi’s 501’s, a simple corset top, kitten heels, and a statement earring with my hair pulled back. I really love that look lately.” — Andrews-Cater
This shape is so elegant.
The mix of gold and silver is surprisingly chic.
A timeless addition to your jewellery box.
Made from recycled 14k gold, lab grown diamonds and gemstones.
These also come in silver.
