cold weather essentials

Have a wonderful weekend, folks! Are you enjoying this weird in-betweeny weather as much as I am? There’s something so refreshing about a cool breeze on a warm day.

Tarn Hows | some fresh air and exercise before heading to a gig on Lake Windermere.

Finding quality, fresh food on the road can be tricky - and trying to support local and sustainable producers even more so. But yesterday, we hit the jackpot at the @greatnorthpieco in Ambleside (on Lake Windermere). This tiny café serves up beautiful award-winning artisan pies (with creative veggie options comprising half the menu) and also offers cold pies to takeaway in simple brown paper bags - no plastic packaging or cutlery. Even the crockery, handcrafted by @partingtonspots adds to its neo-rustic charm!

DRESS | Almost every item in my wardrobe is made from natural fibres (mainly linen, wool, cotton), but this dress, which I wear quite a lot (particularly for shows because it travels well) is synthetic, and made by Montreal-based activewear brand @lolewomen . Several of Lolë’s lines are made from recycled fabrics (I also have a sweater made entirely of plastic bottles that I love) - but I’m not sure if this Marley dress is part of their ethical collection. I love the colour and minimalist style, but to be honest, I wish I’d checked the label more carefully. Still, now that it’s part of my wardrobe, I plan on getting as much wear out of it as possible.

KEEP IT SIMPLE | have a great weekend, guys! I hope you get lots of "me time".

EUCALYPTUS | My bathroom is the only room in my house with no windows. It's very small and only gets natural light when the door is open - so not enough to keep potted plants happy! Instead, I put fresh eucalyptus cuttings in a vase. They look simple and sophisticated, and smell just like a spa. They also last for several weeks, so it's a cheap and easy way to keep your bathroom fresh! 🌿🖤

TBT | I've been wearing this scarf now for over 4 years. I use it as a traditional scarf, pashmina, blanket, travel pillow, and once to carry home a bunch of oranges 🍊when I forgot my reusable bag! Now that's functional fashion. 👊🏻 • • • • #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #10x10challenge #minimalism #minimalist #minimalista #outfitpost #softsummer #livefolk #simplelife #simplestyle #minimaliststyle #weeklyfashionedit #whiteaddict #plussizefashion #nordicstyle #scandinavian #ootd #unfancy #capsulewardrobe #capsulewardrobechallenge #essentials #project333 #mystyle #outfitoftheday #whatiwore #winteressentials #styleessentials #hygge #winterstyle

BODY CLOCK | If, like me, you’re trying to pay more attention to your body clock by building an afternoon power nap into your day, it’s best to schedule your break for some time between 1:00pm and 3:00pm when energy levels start to dip. And remember not to sleep for more than 30 minutes or you’ll wake up more tired and groggy than before! 🕜 • Check out my latest blog article for more surprising science-based, fad-free tips for a healthier 2018. • #thelitestyle #healthynewyear #healthyfood #newyearsameme #mentalhealth #watch #healthyeating #liebeskind #minimalistwatch #lowsaturation #minimalism #minimalist #germandesign #healthylifestyle #nutrition #sleep #linensheets #linenlove #lifestyleblogger #mentalhealthawareness #girlboss #10ksteps #simplestyle #kinfolk #naturalstyle #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #healthytips #minimalistjewelry #minimaliststyle

BASICS | my white boyfriend jeans and linen tees are part of my year-round capsule. I combine them with seasonal pieces for added interest or colour, but love how these basics work together. This time of year I usually add a heavy wool jumper or a winter parka and Chelsea boots (with cozy wool socks, of course!) 🧦 🖤 I watched a great video last night by YouTuber @useless_dk who does marvelous things with her neutral capsule. 🖤 If you're new to capsule wardrobing, or are just looking for some 😎 new capsule stylists to follow, check out her video on "The Perfect Basic Wardrobe". 🖤 And think of how much easier Monday would be if you could just mix and match your entire wardrobe! . . . 🖤 #minimalism #minimalist #monochromestyle #outfitpost #softsummerpalette #livefolk #simplelife #simplestyle #minimaliststyle #weeklyfashionedit #10x10challenge #plussizefashion #whitestyle #nordicstyle #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ootd #unfancy #capsulewardrobe #capsulewardrobechallenge #essentials #project333 #canadianstyle #outfitoftheday #whatiwore #winteressentials #styleessentials #hygge #winterstyle
