img source unknown I feel like I’m having one of those I have nothing to wear moments. Standing in front of my closet shifting the hangers back and forth, yet failing to come up with anything even remotely appropriate. The occasion? A friend’s birthday – although what does one wear to birthday drinks these days? It’s been so long that I’ve almost forgotten, and given the cold weather, I’m almost inclined to continue spending my evening snuggled up in bed with a large cosy sweater. But, I’m not one to throw in the towel so easily. My experience of Sydney…
images sourced from pinterest While we’re on the topic of pink, why stop at clothing when there are walls to splash the perfect shade of powder pink, and blush-toned pillows to add a bit of softness to a monochromatic living room. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this wouldn’t normally be my first choice, as my Pinterest and the overflowing inspiration folders on my Mac would suggest a growing (or staunch) fondness for the Scandinavian style of minimalism – everything in shades of ivory, grey and black. I may still be slightly on the sartorial fence, but I’m warming up…
Stella McCartney lips sweatshirt (on sale!! also available here), Zara skirt (similar), Opening Ceremony sandals (similar), Karen Walker x Benah sloane satchel, MBMJ katie chain bracelet I’m still having a bit of a moment with pink; a continuing love affair if you will, which is apt, all things considered.

That aside, I’m all for injecting a bit of much needed colour to absolve the…
Karen Walker jerkin dress, Karen Walker x Benah juliet clutch, Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelet I have a confession to make. I have a serial problem with carting around with me more than I could possibly need. Three notebooks, four lip balms, two pens, a scarf ‘just-in-case’, a packet of painkillers, snacks in case of emergency – well, you get my drift. Sometimes that box of plasters comes in handy, like when you’re breaking in a new pair of shoes, but most of the time, I’m pretty sure I’m probably carrying around dead weight. And all that dead weight on…
image source My exam is fiiiiinally over, which is cause enough to celebrate. Two weeks of dedicated study taking up all of my free time and then some proved a bit too much for me, so I’m looking forward to some much needed downtime. Oh, and the chance to actually reply to my emails and text messages which have been sitting in my inbox for far too long. On tonight’s agenda? slipping into my cosiest sweater (yes that one) and winding down with a large glass of wine, crusty bread, and a generous helping of the creamiest of cheeses. Can’t…
