As I review my wardrobe wear count at the end of each season, I always like to go back and review what made it into my “top ten” for the previous year. It’s always interesting to see whether those items are ones that still gel with me now, or if newer versions have outranked them in the hierarchy of my wardrobe. To some extent, I’ve been putting off reviewing my summer most worn items for 2024. It’s still hot here in Sydney. Close to, or hotter than 30 deg C most days, making the first two weeks of autumn feel…
Whether you’re a capsule wardrobe enthusiast, or absolute maximalist at heart, at the end of the day what we all want is to add pieces to our wardrobe that will endure. That we’ll love, cherish, and enjoy wearing for years to come. More styling, less buying. Fewer shopping mistakes. So before you buy something new, ask yourself these simple questions first.

Silk slip skirts are one of those “style essentials” you’ll see on lists for building your wardrobe.

So today we’re going to chat through how to style a maxi slip skirt three ways.…
No beauty brand has captured my heart in recent years quite like MERIT Beauty. Their minimal, simplified approach to makeup felt refreshing. At a time when I was craving less, and wanted products that enhanced rather than concealed in that overly done up way. Quite a few of their products are on heavy rotation for my daily routine (post soon incoming), but the one I really wanted to talk about? The MERIT Solo Shadow. Perhaps one of their most highly anticipated launches, the second it dropped in 2023 I knew I had to try these out. I’ve spent years trying…
The internet has gone crazy for what is being tipped as a more modern, and less expensive alternative to the Hermes Birkin. Vogue called it “an heirloom bag in the making”. Functionally and aesthetically serving something quite similar to the Birkin. And it ties into broader trends that we’re seeing right now centred around power dressing, and a nod to collegiate prep. Silhouettes are getting sharper, with a sense of refinement and elegance. While we still crave the nonchalance and ease that has dominated over the past few years.
