img source – le 21eme I might be all about the simple, the understated and the classic, but with tomorrow marking the first day of Spring, the thought of mixing prints never seemed quite so tempting as it is now. My Spring/Summer wishlist is slowly starting to take form, and I have the feeling that this year it’s going to result in a few surprises – nothing like throwing a spanner into the mix!
Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate (Intensity 1), Stila waterproof stay all day eyeliner, Clinique high lengths mascara in ‘very black’, Hourglass travel powder brush, OPI in ‘kiss on the chic’ & Diptyque DoSon EDT A light smattering of Tom Ford’s creme bronzer, a quick flick of eyeliner, and a slick of mascara on my lashes; I’m not exactly what you would call ‘high-maintenance’.

RUBY chi chi blouse, RUBY desert rider denim skirt, Porselli ballet flats, Celine trio It’s arguably cliche for a Kiwi girl to be living in Bondi, but when you have the beach almost on your doorstep (never mind that it’s actually a brisk five minute walk away), would you really want to live anywhere else?
