It’s that time of week when I offload the mish-mash of tabs of I’ve collected and file them on my Substack for my and your future reference.
Meotine Jackets - Still have major regrets about not buying the Charlie jacket in cream wool last year (only cream in a boucle this year). Meotine makes such stunning, well-made staple pieces. While a little on the pricier side, a worthwhile investment. And I mean, girl math says the collar on the Charlie jacket comes off, so you basically get two jackets for the price of one…

Henne Albi Coat - I’ve always loved oversized, structured coats in Winter. I’m patiently waiting with my card in hand for the restock of this bad boy.
Monochrome Sets - Something about A/W seasons makes me want to dress monochrome 24/7. I think it’s such an easy way to look put together with minimal effort. Normally I’m not one for a tonne of colour, but I do love this set from Viktoria and Woods. Both are versatile pieces that look great together or can be worn individually.

Black Silk Pants - I recently purchased a pair of cream silk pants from Bec and Bridge and let me tell you, I have gotten that cost per wear right down. They are the most comfortable pants and go with literally anything, so naturally, I feel like I need a black pair as well. I do feel like these are a worthwhile investment piece - buy a good quality pair as they will never really go out of style and last you forever.
Options: Assembly Label Ena Silk Pants | FWF Willa Pants | S&S The Monaco PantLacoste sneakers L003 2K24 Sneakers - nothing really to say here. I need new sneakers and these are just cool.
Little Liffner Penne Tote Chestnut Suede - I’m in the market for a new work bag and going into Winter, this feels cute. If I can’t get my hands on the Acne Musubi, this could be a great next option.
Polo Knitwear - Loving a little knitted polo moment for winter, especially for work. It looks so put together, without really trying hard at all.
Investments: Khaite Jo cashmere-blend sweater (Grey) (Black)
Mid: Venroy Relaxed Silk Knitted Polo Cream Black | Esse Studios Amor Knit Collared Sweater | Central Park West Marti Polo Sweater
Look for less: AERE Merino Wool Collar KnitSophie Richie Grange x Solid & Striped Collection - I’m not surprised that I love nearly everything in this collection. Now, the dachshund motif is cute, but it’s not for me. The timeless pieces in the collection are what I’m very into. I will say, the prices are exorbitant and you could find the look for much, MUCH less. But for the girls who want to spend and invest, here are my personal faves: The Selena Tank | The Jancy Button Down Shirt | and of course the matching shorts, The Loretto Short | The Reva Cashmere Sweater | The Monaco pant (mentioned above) | The Trina Sweater | The Lowell Cashmere Sweater
Short-Sleeved Sweaters - I think we’ll see a lot of this coming into the A/W season. I love the idea that you can layer with coats or jackets, and as an office girl, this is great for unpredictable office conditions.
Investment: Khaite Shrunken Jo cashmere-blend polo shirt
Look for less: Elka Collective Mochi Knit Top Dove | Zara Short Sleeve Knit Sweater | Zara Short Sleeve Knit SweaterWitchery Studded Leather Belt - it would be remiss of me not to share this belt, considering I’ve been obsessed with her twin (the Khaite Benny belt) for quite some time. For those in Aus, this is the best affordable dupe I’ve found (and purchased).
Axel Arigato Memory Relaxed Cardigan - another Khaite dupe that I’ve been eyeing for a few years. Again, this is on the pricier side, but not nearly as excessive.
Similar look for slightly less: LouLou Studio Cashmere Knit CardiganCOS Pointed Leather Wedge Pumps - it’s giving Bottega Venetta on a budget.
