Things I Love for No Good Reason
23
items A totally unserious, deeply essential collection of little & big things that make me happy for absolutely no sensible reason. Expect cosy, pretty, slightly bougie bits that serve zero real purpose other than sparking joy every time I use or wear ...

Bags & Accessories
Bags that are doing the absolute most… for no real reason other than they make me smile. Ruffles, fun colours, silly little details – totally impractical to resist, strangely essential to my happiness. 👜✨
Cute, scrunched-up perfection in olive. This Quinn ruffle bag from Damson Madder is 100% recycled polyester with adjustable tie straps, zip closure and all the romantic ruffles – an easy day-to-night crossbody that makes every outfit look a bit more ...
quinn ruffle bag - olive
A little harlequin hug in journal form. This Damson Madder x Papier wellness diary makes your routines, mood tracking and random brain dumps feel pretty and intentional – the kind of notebook you absolutely don’t need but suddenly can’t live without....
damson madder x papier harlequin wellness journal
This little shearling cloud of a bag serves no real purpose except making every outfit 10x more extra, which is frankly enough for me.
Bettina Shearling Clutch Bag Natural | ALLSAINTS
A sensible crossbody in an utterly un-sensible zebra print. Looks like I might actually have my life together, but also love a bit of chaos.
Zebra-Print Leather Crossbody Bag – ARKET GB
T-shirts
Graphic tees and “perfect” basics I definitely don’t need more of, but will still convince myself are totally different to the ones I already own.
For days when you’d very much like to opt out of being an adult. This “Ring for Room Service” charcoal tee is slouchy, soft and a bit cheeky – perfect with joggers, a satin skirt, or just pretending you live in a very fancy hotel.
ring for room service tee - charcoal
Arts-school cool in T-shirt form. This Paper Cut Gals long-sleeve in fig is slouchy, soft and a bit quirky – the kind of top you throw on with jeans and suddenly look like you have interesting taste in books and pottery.

For days when you want to look casual but also let everyone know your favourite genre is “left-leaning 80s bangers.”
Fascist Groove Thang Black T-shirt
Skirts
Skirts that make zero sense for my actual lifestyle but live in my head rent-free. Twirly, silky and wildly impractical.
Silky “put-together” energy with zero effort. This ALIGNE navy lace satin slip skirt is that throw-on-and-look-fancy piece – bias cut, soft sheen and delicate lace trim that works with a chunky jumper and boots by day or a camisole and heels by night...
Ari Lace Satin Slip Skirt
An olive skirt that pretends to be “everyday” but absolutely isn’t. The Josie midi in cotton satin has that subtle sheen and swish that works with a tee and trainers or chunky knit and boots – one of those pieces you throw on and instantly feel a bit...
josie midi skirt - olive cotton satin
The comfiest grown-up dungarees energy. These Bobo Choses washed cotton overalls are slouchy, soft and effortless – perfect for campsite days, market runs or just looking “artsy” when you’ve actually made zero effort.
Washed cotton overall
Jackets
Coats and jackets I absolutely do not need but would happily build an entire personality around. Dramatic? Yes. Necessary? Also yes.
I own wayyy too many jackets but this one is soft and luxurious, this textured hoodie features alpaca in the yarn for amazing comfort. It's made in a relaxed regular fit with casual raglan sleeves that add to its easy-to-wear appeal.
Textured Hoodie with Alpaca
Relaxed, hip-length, high-neck leather that looks like a classic biker and a puffer had a very chic baby. Throw over anything, instantly feel cooler.
AllSaints Ryder Leather Jacket, Black
Checks, but make it cheeky: a cosy houndstooth bomber that instantly makes jeans, joggers or a simple tee look like you actually planned your outfit.
CHAQUETA BOMBER PATA DE GALLO
Shoes/Boots
Because as you already know, we can never own too many.
100% a sensible purchase disguised as a treat. Waterproof-ish, walkable and chic – that’s my justification and I’m sticking to it.
Downpour Knee High Boots
Objectively too expensive for me, subjectively perfect. Shiny chocolate ankle boots I would happily plan entire outfits (and trips) around.
Garance Ankle Boots - Chocolate patent
Absolutely not practical for campsite life and yet I strongly believe these Leona boots could change my destiny. One stomp and you’re the main character.
Leona Over The Knee Leather Boots Black | ALLSAINTS
Home
The “absolutely don’t need it but can’t stop thinking about it” home edit – cushions, quilts and cosy things that are firmly over budget and completely unjustifiable.
A little slice of night sky for your sofa. The stitched moons and stars give it that quietly magical, grown-up celestial vibe.
Velvet Embroidered Celestial Cushion
Do I need a woven caramel Sézane quilt? Absolutely not. Do I want this draped over a bed in Normandy so I can look at it every day? Yes. Strongly yes.
Woven Quilt - Pianissimo Caramel
Fully unnecessary, utterly fabulous. A big velvet pouffe that exists purely so I can put my feet up and pretend I live in an interiors magazine.
Velvet Pouffes | Graham & Green
Is it wildly over budget for a table lamp? Yes. Do I want this huge blush glass bubble in a reading corner with a velvet pouffe and a stack of books? Also yes.
Extra Large Round Pink Glass Lamp | Graham & Green
Sweaters/Jumpers
Sweaters for reading by imaginary fires, wandering round markets and doing absolutely nothing important… in very expensive yarn.
The argyle, the colours, the brushed merino with a hint of cashmere… this is cosy, grown-up preppy in the best way. Looks like “I have my life together” even when you don’t. This GORGEOUS colour combo is a winner!
Merino Wool Rich Brushed Argyle Jumper with Cashmere
Entirely too expensive for “just a grey jumper”, but the alpaca-mohair fluff and doudou softness have me in a hold.
Grey Doudou Sweater
Dresses
Dresses for lives I don’t actually live – gallery openings, city strolls and moody bookshops… mainly worn to Carrefour.
The “I just threw this on” winter dress: soft merino wool, funnel neck and a belt that makes it look like you tried. Looks great with chunky boots and zero effort.
