T

Welcome to the very first issue! It has been a dream of mine to create this magazine for years.

Before social channels + online platforms existed to show us what’s instantly trending, magazines were my inspiration.

And as I got older, I longed for something more personal and realistic. A focus on everyday style rather than editorial, and it's been my mission ever since. I hope we have created that for you because I believe fashion should not only be fun, but a way to consciously create a wardrobe you love. Enjoy!

Q's & A's Answering your style dilemmas

CLICK TO WATCH

How can I make my to and from the gym outfits look cool?

Focus on oversized toppers and trending accessories Whether you opt for an all black gym outfit or a colourful ensemble, choose a topper that steals the show. Think oversized trench coats, bombers, puffer vests or baggy sweatshirts.

Add crew socks, a baseball hat and a nylon crossbody, tote or baguette bag to complete the look. You'll look fresh even after a sweat sesh!

42

How do I maximize the clothes I already have?

Create a uniform to make endless looks 1. Put on one top and one bottom you love and wear all the time (Ex. t-shirt and jeans) This is your uniform.

2. Remove all toppers, shoes and accessories from your closet and lay out.

3. Pair each topper and shoe with your uniform. Add accessories.

How many outfits can you make?

4. Photograph each outfit and save to a folder on your phone to always have outfit inspo.
