The thing about working from home is that spending the whole day with a crow’s nest for a head, wearing a denim diaper/mum jeans and perpetually smelling of last night’s takeaway is all fine and dandy until the moment there’s a need to step out the house. Suddenly there’s a tremble of confidence when faced with the challenge of having to join civilization: the I know exactly what I’m doing, with, can I use Febreeze as deordrant?, and you’re stumbling out the door with an outfit that is an awkward morph of hobo and put-together. I suppose this may be how the normcore trend came to being – a bunch of freelancers dragging ‘home-shoes’ Birks around the streets of Dalston (or more likely, the narrow corridors of the intranets, seeing as how nobody seems to be able to pinpoint the exact origin) in pursuit of a fresh new pack of post-its or Coconut water and whatnot. Of course, the survival of the fittest theory still seems to apply with said scenario because last time I checked, my 90’s car-thief/soccer mom get-up has yet to be a global trend. Well, until Merriam-Webster gets in touch about using one of these pics to illustrate the word ‘Awkward’ in a new edition of the English dictionary, that is. In which case Tinseltown, here I come.
love the mom jeans! you look great here.

Hi Shini!
I love the gorgeously simple jewellery. Hobo/put-together suits you well.

Just gonna [slow clap] for your theory on the origin of normcore.
Hey I think you look pretty chic, not a hobo in sight!

I can totally relate to this! The internal conflict when I have to make a dash to the high street…I mean I’m only going to the bakery…but my grandmother still dresses up when taking out the rubbish…ok,ok so just a lipstick and maybe I’ll take my nice bag…

First off, your bag is amazing! Secondly, I can’t see anyone else being able to rock a pair of distressed jeans to elegantly instead of the usual boho or grundy style! But you pulled them off so well with just a mere black shirt and few gold chains! Great photos as always! xx

You look great. and the jeans is cool.
Loving your phone case! Been a silent reader for a year now, just wanted to say that I love your blog. I’ve been stalking the web for a good marble image to use–tips on where you found yours?
Thank you for your lovely comment! I swear I found mine through Google, just serach ‘marble texture’ or even just ‘marble’ and sort by image size, there are some good options there! x
I love the flatlays! Marble makes anything look gorgeous :)
