I try to eat healthy. Well, mostly. Oats with sliced banana every morning, a salad or casserole for lunch and dinner, with plenty of fruit in between. I guess that doesn’t sound half bad, until you factor in the daily sweet treats which have proven too difficult to resist. So with plans of eating less cakes, lollies and chocolates in mind – a hard task given how often they seem to appear in the office – I figured a month without artificial sugar would be enough to set me right. I may have slipped a couple times already, but I…
image source – tumblr It would seem I am always looking for something. The perfect pair of jeans, the perfect sweatshirt, the perfect shade of red lipstick. Though I’m always quick to make allowances. Finding the perfect anything is nigh on impossible, especially when considering how quickly our tastes are likely to change. Two weeks, six months, one year from now; will you still be just as enamoured with your ‘perfect’ piece as when you first bought it? Experience would tell me no, however shoes are a completely different story altogether. Finding the right shoe is like hitting the sartorial…
A.L.C hutton shoulder bag Truth be told, I’m not really in the market for a new bag, but a quiet weekend in with a little too much extra time on my hands – a rarity if there ever was one these days – always sees you seeking out the unnecessary.

I’m all…
Everlane cashmere sweater, ASOS scuba midi skirt, Benah x Karen Walker clutch, Marni two-tone pumps, MBMJ bracelet I’m not sure if it’s the transition to winter, or the back to back episodes of Mad Men I’ve been watching every night, but I’ve found myself wholeheartedly jumping behind the trend towards more modest hemlines (and an equally modest neckline). This midi – so long it’s almost maxi – skirt has been on high rotation since snagging it the other month, the length more than making up for any drop in temperature. It would seem out of character for me to be…
As someone who spent the better part of the weekend scouring furniture and homeware stores for side tables, lamps, kitchen knives and almost everything in between (I’m not even kidding), the launch of Salasai’s homewares range could not have been better timed. Drawing inspiration from their AW14 collection, ‘Liberte et D’amour’, the extension into homewares is far from a fleeting thought, the carefully curated range of duvets, pillow cases and cushions invoking striking elements from RTW. I had a brief chat with one half of the Salasai design team, Kelly Watson, on the design process, the tremendous growth of the…
