Le Cambon East West Suede Shoulder Bag

SAR 3,660 | Manu Atelier

A structured bag can pull an entire look together. I love the shape and understated feel of Manu Atelier’s Le Cambon East West bag, particularly in suede. It just works with everything else I own.

Classic Tee White

SAR 760 | Toteme

A white tee is one of those pieces I’ll always come back to – especially TOTEME’s slightly heavier cotton and relaxed fit. I wear it with denim and flats or tucked into tailored trousers when I want something a little more polished.

Gelso Pleated Twill Trousers

SAR 964 | The Frankie Shop

Wide-leg trousers can instantly elevate any outfit – and without sacrificing comfort. The Frankie Shop’s trousers are a great example. With a high waist, double pleats and a subtle stripe, they work so well with a simple tank, belt and pointed-toe shoes.

The Kunzite Orchid Pendant

SAR 63,980 | House Janolo

I'm really drawn to jewellery that feels like art, which is exactly what excites me about House Janolo. The Kunzite Orchid Pendant, with its statement stone and intricate detailing, feels special enough to wear on its own – especially if the neckline is simple enough to let it stand out.

90’s Pinch Waist Straight Jeans

SAR 1,395 | Agolde

The right jeans can make getting dressed that much easier and I always gravitate towards a vintage-inspired wash with a flattering, structured fit. AGOLDE denim has that perfect straight-leg silhouette and I wear mine with everything from white tees and flats to oversized blazers and heels.

Layla Silk Skirt

SAR 915 | Reformation

A satin slip skirt is one of those pieces everyone needs in their day-to-night wardrobe. I love the fluid drape of this Reformation one. All it needs is a simple tank and flat sandals during the day, then a fitted top and strappy heels for dinner out.

Olenna Leather Heel Sandals

SAR 3,573 | Aeyde

Black kitten heel thong sandals are a warm-weather essential. They add a little polish to everything from denim to tailoring and dresses, while the low heel makes them practical enough for all-day wear.

Var Beaded Fringe Camisole Top

SAR 2,500 | ALEXIS

This beaded-fringe camisole is the kind of statement piece that instantly elevates anything you wear it with – be it the matching separates or tailored trousers. It adds just enough texture and movement to make an impact.

Azalea Romper

SAR 850 | ANI

The perfect throw-on-and-go piece, this romper makes getting dressed feel effortless, but you still look seriously put together.

Available at ANICLOTHING.IN

Kalliste Blazer

SAR 966 (was SAR 1,380) | Khanum's

I love a blazer that defines the waist and Khanum’s Kalliste does exactly that. The double-breasted design, subtle shoulder padding and adjustable ties give it such a flattering silhouette. Wear it with straight-leg denim and flats or with matching trousers for a more co-ordinated look.

Available at KHANUMS.CO

Fishnet Ballet Flats

SAR 3,790 | Alaïa

Ballet flats are my go-to right now. I still really like Alaïa’s mesh flats – they work with straight-leg denim or tailoring and make my everyday outfits feel that little bit more 'fashion'.
