This is one of the outfits that I have been loving for isolation and beyond. I created a fun little video on IGTV of a couple of them, but I wanted to share this one here as well because it includes a fun styling note. I bought this skirt a few sizes to big and then bunched it at the front with a belt to get the runway paperbag look – kinda Saint Laurent vibes. I love it with these Alaia heels for the full look, but during isolation I have been wearing it with Gucci slippers.
Sheet masks are the easiest and most universal. They work with pretty much all skin types and they are easy to use and enjoy. I often take them when I travel and use them on airplanes too.
They are great for…
Caring for your skin post surgery or procedure. I often use these after a peel or micro-needling. They are soothing and hydrating.
111SKIN – Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask
111SKIN – Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Mask
Prepping for makeup. Apply one while you dry your hair before a big event to make sure your skin is hydrated and pump, perfect for smooth flawless makeup application.
La Mer – Treatment Hydration Lotion Mask
Use during pregnancy to help your skin stretch. These masks come with so much extra product within the packet that they can be re-used. So I use it once on my face and then empty the remaining product onto the mask and apply it to my stomach or chest.
SK-II – Facial Treatment Mask
Girls night in and some key skincare ingredients. They have a really amazing amount of this award winning product, so you can chat away for hours and they mask wont dry out.
Estee Lauder – ANR Concentrate Mask
A quick option. Using the under eye patches allows you to use another mask alongside a sheet mask. They are also great for travel.
Elemis – Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Mask
Rodial – Dragon’s Blood Eye Mask
Mud masks are particularly good for those with breakout prone oily skin. Although I don’t have that skin type and still like to include one in my routine for tightening and deep cleansing.
Mud masks are great for…
Cleansing and Purifying your skin. They will also reduce puffiness and inflammation. I like to read a magazine or blog while I the mask dries on my skin and then I use a muslin flannel to remove it.
Eve Lom – Rescue Mask
Omorovicza – Deep Cleansing Mask
For those looking for a no mess option. Mud Sheet masks are now a thing too.
Patchology – Detox No Mess Mud Sheet Mask
Treatment masks are a tricky category. So many of them are either ineffective or way way too harsh for my skin. I have only found one which I think it really fantastic. I used it in the run up to my wedding day and it really does create the most perfectly smooth skin. Don’t use it on the day of your wedding, instead use it about 5 days before (as lovely fine scrub is best on the day – I like the Fresh sugar polish).
Treatment masks are great for…
Resurfacing your skin.
Prepping for makeup application, the skin with be smoother with less residue dry skin after regular use of a treatment mask.
GlamGlow – SuperMud
These masks are incredibly refreshing and uplifting. They smell incredible and add a huge amount of hydration to the skin. I love to apply them before I have a bath and then let the steam and mask work their magic together.

Plumping the skin. Toning and reducing inflammation.

Recently I’ve been thinking about where I came from. Professionally speaking. This year will be my 10th year blogging and when I recently looked back through my archive, more than ever before, I realised that my style hasn’t really changed. Looking back through some of my more recognisable #streetstyle shots I realised how many of the outfits I would still wear today and how many of the pieces I still own. I guess my style hasn’t really evolved, it’s always been quite classic. So on a slightly woke theme I thought why not share some of the pieces styled how I would wear them today alongside the images that you might have seen of me during fashion week over the last decade. I found this amazing vintage @ysl suit on eBay. It’s actually a three-piece suit but I’m just wearing a jacket and trousers here. I also wore it to Paris fashion week in 2012 I think. Swipe to see>> Nothing could be more #sustainablefashion than a vintage piece that has also lasted the test of time in my closet. I think it’s always been possible to shop smart to reduce waste and buy only pieces you will enjoy for a lifetime, whether vintage, designer or high street. Ever since I was young my mother would ask me when we went shopping – “what will you wear it with?” – It was such a great lesson in knowing your closet and maximising the wear of new and old pieces. I still hear her saying it every time I shop. Photo by @kitleephoto and @vanessajackmanphotography
The Suit I’m wearing is vintage and can be found in other outfit combinations on my blog. As Trousers here, as a Jacket here, as Jacket again here and as a Suit in the original Streetstyle look here.
