Dear friends,
Today’s newsletter is all about accessories - aka the true MVPs (as we learned from the great Diana Vreeland). Like little magic tricks, they have a brilliant way of transforming an outfit in an instant. As someone who leans towards a capsule wardrobe, where simplicity meets clean cuts, I’ve come to love how the right details can subtly shift the entire vibe of a look.
A bag in a striking colour can make a relaxed outfit feel more special, while a silk scarf adds just enough fun to keep things from looking too simple. The right pair of sunglasses or a piece of jewellery (THAT Bally pin)? Instant upgrade. And shoes - oh, the power of shoes. A great loafer, a pair of Converse paired with a sleek look, and suddenly the entire mood of the outfit changes.
The beauty of accessories: they let you play, refine, and reinvent without stepping outside your signature style. And in a wardrobe built on timeless pieces, they make all the difference. I’ve curated my 60 favourite accessories of the moment (all of which you can find below) and included some in a huge collage that was soooooo much fun to put together.
Lots of love,
Franzi
Here are the pieces that effortlessly elevate a look - my current favourites from beloved brands that make my heart skip a beat. Those small but mighty details that keep outfits feeling fresh. Think sculptural earrings that catch the light, a cap that adds a certain coolness, a buttery leather belt that defines the waist, or a rich brown bag that brings depth to a monochrome outfit. I’ve included a mix of timeless staples and playful finds - polished sunglasses, sleek ballet flats, and other little touches that strike the perfect balance between classic and modern.
