In a wardrobe full of hardworking staples, the right pair of loafers can be that piece that instantly lifts any look. Undeniably polished, it’s a shoe silhouette that in my mind, has always held a sort of sartorial authority. The Magnanni Charlotte Loafers are one of my latest additions, which I was drawn to for the textural interest from the luxe mock croc finish, and the sleek profile of the silhouette. And it’s all in the details, isn’t it? Often the difference between a basic, and a basic which feels elevated. I’ve been road testing these quietly in the background over the past…
You’d think after living in Sydney for over a decade, I’d have come to expect autumn’s late arrival. Yet every year, it always seems to catch me off guard. You go from preemptively trying to inject transitional season layers into an outfit, to needing that third piece for every look. It’s the dramatic drop in temperature that always has me questioning the way I’m getting dressed. As in, you’ve gotten into the groove of styling for the season you’re in, but all of a sudden the weather calls for more (or fewer) layers and suddenly you feel like you’re doing it wrong. It…
Leopard print to me, has always felt a little like a neutral in disguise. Yes, it’s a bit loud, but when styled the right way, can feel as safe a bet as denim or stripes. Plus, if you’re someone who leans heavily on paired back, minimal pieces, it’s a simple choice to add personality to an outfit without overthinking it.

So here are some ways that you can style leopard jeans…
If you were to ask me what my go-to shoe is these days, I’d be quick to point to a pair of flats; a love that’s only gotten stronger in recent years. I mean… who has time for uncomfortable shoes? I’ve become something of an ALLY Shoes loyalist since first trying their Kitten Heels in 2023, and the latest addition to my shoe-robe are their super-chic take on the classic mary-jane flat. These feel feminine, understated, and sleek due to the sharp pointed toe, plus I am a big fan of the colour range (I mean, how fun is the…
Every season, Sezane draws me in. Those romantic colour palettes, effortlessly executed collections with subtle French flair, and chic tailoring. Even though many items read a little too romantic for me, there’s always something to appreciate and admire. And of course, the odd piece (or two, or three) that makes its way into my wardrobe. In this post I’m sharing a close up look at the items I ended up adding to my wardrobe; aka the pieces that really landed for me (and why), along with anything that I’d change. You’ll also find sizing notes, remarks on fabric composition and…
