The SceneStyled Edit: The Holidays Edition

When Mariah Carey stopped the world from spinning for a split second all the way back in 1994 with the release of ‘All I want for Christmas is You,’ she had unknowingly changed the trajectory of life - or for the sake of avoiding hyperbole, the holiday life. But perhaps Carey viewed Christmas through a - dare we say - myopic lens. We love you, Mariah, but this Holiday season we’re doing more than just romanticising situationships, we’re treating our closets to a massive festive overhaul.

'Tis the season to deck the halls and dress to impress - but what shades will steal the show this holiday season? If Mariah Carey has anything to do with it, red will reign supreme, and we agree, but we’re sprinkling in a touch of pine green, snowflake silver, and coal black for the naughties on the ‘Songbird Supreme’s’ naughty list.

For our inaugural seasonal SceneStyled Edit, we’re showcasing, celebrating, and drooling over some of our favourite pieces from regional designers. Whether you’re yearning to treat yourself to a gorgeous necklace, fancy gifting a coat to a loved one, or just simply in the mood to gaze upon gorgeous craftsmanship, we’d say keep scrolling…
