WHITE SWEATER UNIQLO X LEMAIRE | PANTS PROMOD | SANDALS CARLOS BY CARLOS SANTANA | HANDBAG VALENTINO

Last time, everything was in full bloom - from the cherry blossom and magnolia trees to my Chicwish dress. While I love my spring flowers and seizing the opportunity to channel my inner princess, I'm most comfortable in more minimalist styles. Going back to the basics often feels like a reset for me - you feel refreshed. I find that some of the most elegant and luxurious looks come from the most simple lines.

Some of my favourite pieces come from collaborations like this one between Uniqlo and Lemaire - this beautiful white knit sweater picked up from the Uniqlo store in the Marais in Paris. Christophe Lemaire is a French designer known for his beautiful, minimalist looks. Paired with the cropped navy pants from Promod, a French boutique for womenswear, lends a comfortable look that’s perfect from boardroom to cottage. Finally, when I’m wearing such simple styles I prefer to then accessorize the look with more bold choices like this eggplant Valentino Rockstud handbag.
