Everlane Work Pant Review

Everlane Work Pant Review

I’m probably not the only one who finds tracking down the perfect pair of work trousers to be a hard task. They’re either too big in the waist, too tight in the hips, or just hugely unflattering. I fell in love with the smart style ankle trousers from Uniqlo a couple of years back, but that was before we got a ragdoll cat… Wearing Joseph sweater, Everlane work pant in navy, FRANKiE4 ‘Jackie’ sneakers, Stella McCartney coat (affordable option here), Mighty Purse cross body bag, Linjer watch I’ve made a few efforts this year to try and seek out some…

New Zealand Winter Packing List – Carry On Only

New Zealand Winter Packing List – Carry On Only

I never used to like to challenge myself when travelling; I’d often be the girl with an enormous suitcase for a short stay, and couldn’t find the beauty – or comfort – in wearing the same thing more than once. It’s in stark contrast to my attitude towards packing now. I’ll avoid bringing checked luggage where I can, and for holidays spanning seven days or less, I make a point of trying to take carry-on only. So, it only made sense that I try to minimise my packing list for my current week-long trip to New Zealand, despite anticipating that…

OOTD: Silk Wrap Blouse & Cashmere Coat

I thought I’d share a quick outfit post as the weekend comes to a close – in part, because it’s been a while since I shot what I was wearing in an ‘out and about’ setting. I wore this yesterday while we ran some errands – for me, maintaining my personal style while still feeling comfortable is really the key thing I look for when putting together an outfit, and this look seems to encapsulate the more relaxed vibe that I have been going for lately. Wearing Grana wrap front top, ASOS mom jeans, Mute by JL cashmere coat, Everlane…

Five Things to Buy from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

As a little bit of a follow up to my post last week, where I shared some of my favourite picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I wanted to narrow it down to my top five, and expand on why they’re worth the investment in your wardrobe. As you know, I tend to focus a lot on the classics, but I still like to get them on sale where I can. I consider myself a pretty shrewd shopper (for the most part, at least), and I think if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, this is such a great chance…

Organic Basics – Shopping Ethically and Sustainably

Organic Basics – Shopping Ethically and Sustainably

I’m pretty quick to admit that my consumption is typically higher than the average person. I’ve been sharing my outfits online since I was 18 years old, and I’ve often felt that the purpose of this is not only to provide a little bit of inspiration and share different ways to style outfits, but to also narrow down the best wardrobe staples out there right now, and share new brands that I think are worth investing in. But, I have been making steps to shop with intention, to try and reduce my emotional shopping sprees (which we all know I’m…
