My New Wardrobe Mission, Feat. Essilor Lenses

Posted on July 31, 2018

It’s Winter, time for a bit of hibernation and an opportunity to rethink my wardrobe, top to toe. I’m going through a phase of decluttering, assessing what’s functional, what’s important, what I love, what’s enduring, and crucially… what’s not. Moving forward my goal is to have a streamlined, curated, capsule wardrobe free from excess, free of fast-fashion and free of chaos. For me, this is about consciously addressing function, quality and my true unchanging personal style with each decision, and…

10 High Waisted Swimwear Labels You Need In Your Life

Posted on January 18, 2018

As promised, there’s to be a whole lot more of my signature style on the blog this year and that means HIGH WAISTED errything. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it suits my figure best, and it’s a swimwear style that isn’t actually all that easy to find amidst the teeny weenie bikinis which do NOTHING for my body shape. So, I’ve done the leg work & I hope this post helps all you ladies who dig a high…

Posted on October 30, 2017

This is a public service announcement… It’s almost November. I’m not quite sure where the year went, but I know that the next two months are going to disappear quicker than a hat in a hurricane, because it’s event season! ‘Tis the season for afterwork drinks, not to mention Derby Day & Melbourne Cup almost upon us. Before we know it it’ll be xmas parties and NYE. I’m getting organised this year by selecting a few easy-wear, easy-wash dresses that…

Velvet Obsessions With Hale Bob

Posted on October 25, 2017

After a month abroad it’s taken me a couple of weeks to get use to the cooler weather again here in Sydney. It hasn’t been cold but I’ve definitely had to put the shorts & swimsuits on standby. Transeasonal dressing is where it’s at, at least until the sun starts to roar for high Summer. So, I’ve taken advantage of this time to resume my search for the perfect velvet pants… and I found them. I’ve been on the look…

Celebrating Our Anniversary at The QVB Sydney

Posted on August 6, 2017

11 years together whoa, it really doesn’t seem that long. Well, it does and it doesn’t. Day-in and day-out life is great with hubs – we’re pretty easy going, rarely argue and as the saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun! …Except for those couple of years. There was a lot of stress there for a bit (and you can read about that here) but it was the strength of our relationship that got us through the relentless punch-in-the-gut…

Lapping up the Winter Sunshine with Glue Store

Posted on July 25, 2017

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m not a winter person. Our Europe trip really can’t come soon enough! We’ve been busily saving moolah and planning our next adventure to the coast of Spain, France & Italy which means selecting my wardrobe carefully with pieces that I can layer through winter and take with me when we pack our bags late August. Thankfully this Winter we’ve been blessed with the most glorious winter sunshine on the coast,…

Fresh from the Runway with Iva Pfeiffer

Posted on June 13, 2017

Back in February I was lucky enough to attend a number of shows at New York Fashion Week. When I started this journey a couple of years back never in my wildest dreams did I think that I’d be invited to runways in the city I’ve dreamed about visiting my entire life. One of those shows was the Oxford Fashion Studio Showcase featuring Aussie-Czech designer Iva Pfeiffer. The showcase was an eclectic mix of styles from a talented group of…

Transeasonal Dressing with Floral & Denim

Posted on June 12, 2017

Cute floral patterns are often a summer staple in my wardrobe, as is denim for Winter. So it serves to reason that the two styles meet perfectly in the middle for transeasonal dressing. It helps of course that we’ve had a fairly amazing start to winter, which means thermals aren’t quite on the horizon yet. This being the case we can get away with layering all those spring and summer favourites with our denim staples well into the AW seasons.…

5 Essential Denim Styles to Wear this Winter

Posted on June 2, 2017

It’s Winter in Oz and while I hate the cold I am glad that it’s officially denim wearing weather. Gimme all of the denim, denim for days, denim all winter. I love denim, I always have, and so does my hubby. I kid you not, we left the house recently couples dressing in double-denim and it wasn’t even a dress up party reenactment of that infamous Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake photo. We just legit love a good piece of denim. For…
