Pieces on my Radar, Summer Edition

StyleRebecca O'ByrneComment

Summer is officially in full swing, even here in Ireland where we’re enjoying a wonderfully welcomed heatwave. Typically we might be lucky to quickly soak up all of 37.5 hours of sunshine over the course of an entire summer + here we are weeks into what feels very much like a we-live-here-now kind of moment. And so alongside the delicious weather I share with you some other delights on my radar lately; some of which I already own + love + some hitting up my shopping online baskets. Yet each perfect for many summers to come.

Autumn Pieces on my Radar

StyleRebecca O'ByrneComment

As much as I love summer + days spent adventuring in the sunshine, I am an introvert at heart + where moods + personality types harmonize with the seasons, it’s no doubt that the AW season + I are much more compatible. I get ridiculously excited this time of year for the upcoming freedom I find in hibernation + routine, not to mention the chic changes that begin to take place as we fall into Autumn - the thoughts of fabulous knits + stunning winter coats on repeat delights me like no skort ever could. Unlike summer style, it’s the part of my wardrobe I really look to invest in so let’s just say that my love of a good Winter wardrobe is about to get it’s freak on.

In celebration of Autumn’s arrival firmly on the horizon, I’m sharing some pieces that are making the cut to my wishlist/wardrobe this coming season that might spark a little love or inspiration in yours too.

 

Reiss Blazer

When Preowned Luxury Is the Real Deal

StyleRebecca O'ByrneComment

Sustainable fashion is an important topic of conversation right now. Considering how we choose to consume + care for the planet is something so vitally important, it’s thankfully beginning to get the attention + care it deserves as a movement in itself. Yet while some of us have begun to pledge never to shop at Zara again, it’s no joke that sustainable fashion can be a difficult one to navigate in terms of varying budgets + in some circumstances a lack of real opportunity to shop more sustainably on a permanent basis. It’s important though, to begin, at the very least, to consider the way in which we shop, to consciously consider what we actually need (I mean, let’s face it, how many pairs of jeans does one person actually need to survive, not to mention how many bags + pairs of shoes is acceptable before it’s a case of having to move into the spare room?) + why is it we think that in order to be seen to be cool we need the latest, greatest, newest, freshest. Style is a way of living, it’s about the how, not the what. It comes in your thinking of the world + your approach to it + those around you. It’s about how you dress + conduct yourself, not what you’re wearing + killing yourself + your wallet to get the latest IT item.

So in regarding more the idea of sustainable shopping + how we dress, we come to the idea of spring cleaning, something that many have been undertaking in lockdown + the way in which we disregard things we no longer need or want in our wardrobes. In light of the current worldwide situation right now too, it’s important to be a lot more considered about consumption. Thinking of the world as it is today, it’s like Mother Nature is saying SLOW the F down guys, consume less, be kinder, appreciate what you do have + reconsider.. well just about everything. In the words of Marie Kondo, you should really only hold on to things in your life that “spark joy” - things that either make you feel fabulous whenever you wear them or perhaps hold dear + fond memories for you. Our wardrobes + the way we shop are no different, that’s why consignment stores are the way forward, the ‘real deal’ so to speak + just like us, our wardrobes deserve a second chance to be loved by someone else in a new light + a refreshed perspective. So today I’m sharing some of the best places to shop + sell preowned luxury items..

T H E H O S T A

I recently came across The Hosta on IG + loved it first for it’s beautiful aesthetic + the flow of colours + then upon rabbit-holing my way through the page, for it’s minimal style + chic selection of preowned luxury + vintage bags, carefully selected within The Hosta style. It’s focus is a fully serviced consignment service where you can sell your beautiful preowned luxury (fully authenticated) bags + also shop it’s amazing selection. It’s a really good service if you’re Spring cleaning + want to let your bags be loved by someone new, as they only charge a flat fee of 30% of the sale price which is consignment terms is pretty good. New to the market, it’s collection is growing by the day.

Hewi London (aka Hardly Ever Worn It) is London’s most famed pre-owned luxury destination for fashion lovers to shop + sell their designer pieces. Founded in 2012 by Sharon Wolter-Ferguson + her two daughters, Natalya + Tatiana when she + her family were living in Monte Carlo, upon the idea of being able to keep up with the never ending jet-set lifestyle of Monaco’s elite - where parties are legendary + outfits are never repeated. Ever. Wolter-Ferguson began the Hewi journey so that women could shop + sell their poses with ease + have fun keeping their wardrobes fresh on a regular basis. Hewi ‘s HQ is in a beautiful townhouse in Mayfair, London + has gone from local shoppers to a global customer base with celebrities + fashion insiders as regular shoppers.

For the bag lovers of all bag lovers, Rebag is the ultimate bag lovers dream. At Rebag, it’s alllllll about the idea of stepping into a haven of bags + never wanting to leave.

The Jumpsuit Edit

StyleRebecca O'ByrneComment

Jumpsuits, no matter the day or reason, are always a good idea. Whether you’re dressing up for a hot date night or simply running errands on the weekend, the magic of the one piece wonder is definitely something that will up your game in the style department. It’s all about versatility and scope though when deciding to purchase, considering how you can dress it up or down is always an important factor when investing in your next purchase. I always look at new pieces in a way of how many ways I can wear it, so take a blazer - can I wear it by day or by night or perhaps a summer dress, can I wear it with heels and then translate it into a day time piece with my flats? It adds immense value to your wardrobe, not to mention the benefits of a streamlined style and way of living. A jumpsuit is no different; here are 5 of my current favorites styled 5 different ways.

In a word, Barry’s is K.I.L.L.E.R. Killer as in the most insane ass-kicking workout you can do, in any city you might find yourself in (they have locations all over the planet now). Working from the second you step inside the Red Room to the second you leave, the session is different every time with a focus on a different body area each day of the week. However what remains the same is the treadmill to weights format and the fact that whether it’s your first time or your a Barry’s seasoned pro, you will leave on a naturally occurring endorphin high - not to mention a stiff and sore body (in all the good ways though of course). Try out the WoHo location, it’s the OG of all Barry’s and the L.A vibes are, well , let’s just say V L.A.

Atkin, who has worked as a hairdresser since - well as long as social media has existed - and includes Chrissy Teigen, Jenna Dewan Tatum, and just about every member of the Kardashian-Jenner family as some of her most famous clients. It was no shocker so when she brought out her own brand. However, unlike many celebrity endorsed or created brands and products, this is actually the shit. Tried and tested (as all these brands are here in the article), Ouai is one to go back to again and again.. and again. The matching shampoos and conditioners are a staple in my shower, while the Hair Oil is something I use daily, not to mention the Texturising Spray, which is other level. For anyone looking for a haircare supplement too, the three available from Ouai are totally legit and once you start you just can’t get enough. You can be sure too that the brand continues to grow with it’s loyal customers as Atkin uses the feedback she receives on social media to better existing products and create new ones.

Francesca and Marianna’s story is a gorgeous one and their philosophy, that jewellery should complete a look and make you feel transformed, is part of the brand’s elegant aesthetic. To say I’m in love would be an understatement.
