One of my favourite parts about the shift in seasons from summer to autumn is the opportunity to play around with my wardrobe a little more. In particular, it gives me an opportunity to start reaching for a blazer as a layering piece – one of the style staples I usually have to put on ‘hiatus’ during the warmer months. Wearing COS turtleneck sweater (similar), ONLY denim skirt, Friend of Audrey wool blazer (also here), Everlane square toe flats, Charles&Keith black tote I’ve mentioned this a few times, but a blazer was a huge part of my style identity during…
It’s been about a week since we got back from our South Island road trip, and I wanted to unpack our full itinerary for those of you thinking of heading over there. Despite growing up in Wellington, I never really made it down to the South Island until my twenties, and even then, it was just to pop to Queenstown for a wedding. With some serious hiking on the agenda for this trip, the thing I was most looking forward to was seeing some of New Zealand’s beautiful landscapes for myself. We were a little limited by how long we…
We’re a couple weeks into autumn now, so I thought it would be as good an opportunity as any to give you a 5PFW summer wardrobe update. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the five-piece-French-wardrobe-challenge, you can learn a little about how I’m interpreting this Parisian take on adding to your closet for the year ahead in this post. Ultimately, I decided to partake in this challenge as a way of informing my shopping attitude for the year ahead. I’ve said this before but I felt like 2018 saw me lose my way with my wardrobe a little,…
I’m a big believer that you can buy style at every price; a lot of it is having a keen eye, and patience, patience, patience. And as I’ve said before, when it comes to shoes, I tend to have expensive taste, which doesn’t always *quite* marry up with my budget for the season. I’ve had a few requests to share more places to shop the designer look for less, so today I’ve got a round up featuring nine more designer shoe dupes, all of which are so good that they’ll make you do a double take to make sure it’s…
Despite spending the better part of my youth growing up in New Zealand, I didn’t end up visiting Queenstown – one of country’s most stunning tourist destinations – until my mid-twenties. So when my husband and I were invited to my cousin’s wedding at Glendhu Station just out of Wanaka, we decided to turn a long weekend into a tiki tour around the lower part of the South Island. Our South Island Itinerary I’ll be sharing a full round up of our itinerary some stage over the next week, but I though I’d touch on what we did during our…
