Winter uniform #1

Winter uniform #1

Country Road sweater (I also like this one), Topshop jeans (these are a great alternative), Charlotte Olympia kitty flats (affordable alternative), Byredo Mojave Ghost (or here), Chanel Rouge Allure in Coromandel This is a little round up of some of my current winter staples, and one of my favourite (and simplest!) winter uniforms. An oversized sweater, a pair of ‘mom’-style jeans with a frayed hem, flats with a little bit of pizazz, and a nice red lip. It’s fair to say that this isn’t anything groundbreaking, all it takes it finding the right sweater that you want to spend all…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: What’s the Big Deal, and Where Should You Start?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: What’s the Big Deal, and Where Should You Start?

It’s that time of year again… the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (or #NSale) has begun, and with it, the opportunity to save big on some of their newest arrivals. Personally, this is one of my favourite sales to browse each year, as there are so many gems to be uncovered, and unlike your typical end-of-season sale, this is new stock rather than end of line. WHEN CAN I SHOP THE SALE? Early access to the #NSale opened up on Thursday 13 July, but for those of you like me who aren’t Nordstrom cardholders, public access kicks off tomorrow – Friday 21…

My best second hand purchases

My best second hand purchases

I think I can categorically say that for many years I spent just as much time browsing eBay as I spent checking my emails (read: a lot). Defining my style and exploring new designers which weren’t readily available in New Zealand, eBay was the #1 destination where I would stumble across a bargain second hand buy, or investment purchase for (much) less. These days, I’m more like to browse The Real Real – mostly down to the fact that they have a return policy – but one thing still remains true; I love a good second hand purchase. It’s that…

Three ways to wear culottes

Three ways to wear culottes

My love of the culotte is no secret; in the space of a year it’s gone from a style I’ve chosen to largely steer clear of, to a style favourite and wardrobe essential. My hesitation to add this particular style of trouser definitely stemmed from the fact that I was largely at a loss of how to style them. These days, I’m on the other side of the fence (I sort of think, how wouldn’t I style them?!), so I thought I’d share my most recent video, which features three ways to wear culottes. After a little bit of experimentation,…

Violetta

J Crew sweater, Blank NYC skinny jeans (also here), Wilson Trollope coat, Two tone pumps (I also love these), Elleme raisin bag in vieux rose*, Mademoiselle X Mejuri loop earrings It’s no secret that winter is my least favourite season – I’d rather be soaking up some sunshine than wrapping up in layers to battle (arctic) gusts of wind. So in an ode to my spring/summer preferences, I’ve been trying to soften up my winter wardrobe’s colour palette, with a few key pieces. Let’s start with my coat; I wore this in a recent blog post where I was brave…
