I have no idea what has gotten into the water at Reformation, but every time the new-in page refreshes, my wishlist gets longer…

Put me in this dress* with a ballet flat and bundle me onto the next Eurostar to Paris IMMEDIATELY. The boat neck? The three-quarter sleeve? I feel like I’d live out my childhood Posh Spice dreams in this.
Someone on the Ref design team has taken the vintage referencing very seriously. Now, of course, we all know that the OG pieces are the ultimate goal here, but if you’ve never been lucky with sizing, try the Reign Jacket* or the longer-style sheer Koda Jacket*, which I spotted on Anna Eleri Hart and bought immediately.
Speaking of LESET and speaking of shorts - their highly praised Arielle City Shorts* are back in stock in all sizes. If you want to do the whole ‘Margo Robbie at the airport’ thing, these shorts could totally do that.
It’s kind of nuts that you can get your hands on a Hermès bag for around £200. Dare I say I prefer these Herline totes over their leather styles? Options linked for you here: brown and navy*, burgundy and red* and navy and green*.

Rounding off this section with a few things that I’ve actually purchased myself this week.

First up - the Salomon XT-6 Trainers in Black*. I originally bought these in the green*, but they’ve sat unloved in my wardrobe. I thought I needed to size down, but instead I’ve ended up with a pair of trainers that are too snug and that I never wear. I just know that if I owned them in the correct size, and in a colour that I feel far more comfortable with, I’d be reaching for them all winter long. I’m thinking of them like the trainer version of my rainboots*.

A very chic-looking haul if I do say so myself.

I just like to sprinkle in a NET-A-PORTER order from time to time and added three things to my basket recently:

  • Christopher Esber Jelly Sandals* (mad price for flip-flops so I’d suggest these* or these*) - In my search for weird and wonderful shoes, I wonder whether it is just a pair of clear jellies I’m after? I’ll report back.

  • Thistles The Jack Sunglasses (I snagged the last pair, so linking them directly here*) -Substack writers love to regularly tout these as the universally flattering sunglasses shape. As a round-faced, big-browed gal, I’ll be the judge of that.

  • Eres Les Essentiels Aquarelle Swimsuit* - This is A LOT of money for a swimsuit, so unless this is utterly perfect, it will be returned. But what if it is as good as everyone says? I have to find out for myself. I sized up as per the sizing suggestions.

Your style-related smorgasbord for the week:

Inner peace to me is being all caught up with my Substack inbox:

The Wardrobe Edit really does have the best dressed readers. Case in point: this post in the chat from Shannon Jones…

I’ve now seen this bangle hack on my explore page 170 times, but the first one I spotted was this reel from Claire Hagen. It gives that relaxed, open feel to a shirt without the need for constantly fussing and tucking.

I knew I’d want to reference this Alyssa Wasko Stein shirt tying tip at a later date, so I screen recorded her IG story like the DONNI stalker that I am.

The 54 Beauty Products I Actually Use Every Day

Jul 21

If this post is the first of mine that you’ve read, then it’s going to give the wrong impression. It gives high maintenance. It gives vain. It gives, ‘Kim, there are people who are dying’! I have to say, writing out this extremely long list of beauty products I use daily really does make it look like I have the entire Sephora in my bathroom and spend my…
