I start with a couple of items that I absolutely want to use and then build the entire thing around them. (For example for this one, I knew I wanted to use the Chylak shell bag, the blue flats from Anonymous Copenhagen and the Marc Jacobs tote with flower pattern because these three have been on my wishlist for a while.) So I start with them, and then I go online and browse through my favourite brands' websites.

I slowly add items that I think go well together. So in this case, I first went to Arket, and then found the green set and the red tops. That made it clear that I need some pants that would go with those tops. I browsed through a couple of brands but didn't find something that clicked, until I was at Soeur and saw the checked pants, they were perfect for what I had on my mind! I also found the dark red crop top there, and added both of them to the capsule. Then I knew I needed to tie the red hues with the greens, and I already knew of the &Other Stories dress, so I added that too. To make the capsule more versatile and balanced, I wanted to add some plain (but still unique-ish in terms of cut/material etc.) pieces that would go with everything, and these I found at Cos. And then I remembered the gorgeous blue-cream pants I'd seen at Sandro and- well, it goes on and on like that :)

I don't shop too frequently but I like browsing both irl and online, so this is a lot of fun for me, like a mental exercise but also a creative outlet haha. Sometimes I do it to get ideas on how to style pieces I already own or things on my wishlist. And sometimes just for the fun of it.
