Packing light: What I packed in my carry on for five days in New Zealand

Packing light: What I packed in my carry on for five days in New Zealand

We’ve just returned from a five day trip to Auckland, New Zealand, and while I’ve shared a bit of a sneak peek into my suitcase here, I thought I’d download a little on what I’m glad I packed into my carry on, and what probably could have stayed at home. WEATHER FORECAST For those of us residing in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the early end of winter, which as you can imagine means frosty mornings, bitterly cold winds, and rain – plenty of it, too. I used the weather forecast in Sydney as a bit of a guide, as I…

Winter Wardrobe Lookbook 2017

Winter Wardrobe Lookbook 2017

Now that winter has well and truly arrived, I wanted to share some of my current favourite cold weather outfits. We’re pretty lucky to have mild winters in Sydney, so heading out for the day with bare legs isn’t something that is always out of the question. The biggest stand out from my winter wardrobe has hands down been this beautiful mauve wool coat from Wilson Trollope; designed by my school friend Annabelle, the soft blush hues help to break up what is primarily a monochromatic wardrobe. I’d love to know which look is your favourite, and you can shop…

Grana boxy t-shirt, Topshop straight leg jeans, Helmut Lang blazer (I also love this option), Everlane day heels (more affordable here), ASOS sunglasses, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel If you take a quick look at my Pinterest boards, one thing is achingly clear; I’m heavy into everything norm core with a healthy dose of Parisian styling. Since giving my closet a much needed declutter, and taking the time to sit down and really define what it is that I want my wardrobe to look like, I’ve found my outfit options have started to lean more masculine, and more relaxed, in that…

How to wear ruffles like a maximalist

How to wear ruffles like a maximalist

ASOS ruffle top (also in black), MSGM skirt^, Everlane trench coat, 3.1 Phillip Lim heels, Charlotte Olympia feline purse, Astrid & Miyu Gemini & Aries rings, Mejuri diamond necklace As much as I’ve been trying to find the perfect balance between feminine and masculine silhouettes, there’s one ultra feminine trend that I can’t seem to get enough of; the ruffle. So rather than fight it, I figured it was best to take a page from Alessandro Michele’s book, and wear ruffles like a maximalist. BE BOLD Don’t be afraid to wear colour – particularly if you live in a warmer…

David Jones Sale Picks

David Jones Sale Picks

To help get some inspiration for my wardrobe, I’ve been doing a bit of browsing online to get an eye on any key pieces that might be worth adding to my closet. So, I couldn’t help but notice during my search that David Jones are in the midst of the bi-annual clearance sale. After making a rather spendy – and sneaky – in-store sale purchase (more on that later…), I’m taking a mini-break from adding anything else new to my closet, so I thought I’d share some of my favourite David Jones sale picks with you below. Sale season is…
