So this is big news. Arket is finally shipping to Australia. It’s a brand I was first introduced to by UK bloggers a couple years back, and have admired ever since for the simple take on minimalist basics, high quality materials, and ethical/sustainable practices. I’m hoping to place my first order at some point in the next few months as I’d love to get a sense of the quality – as well as share a brand review on my YT channel – but in the mean time, I thought I’d round up five core staples I currently have my eye…
I figured we should kick off the new month with a look at my most worn items of summer. As you’ll know, if you’ve been following these seasonal updates, these are one of my favourite posts. I’m analytical by nature, and just love looking back at the data to spot trends in my own behaviour. The start of summer signified the start of my final trimester; so I was tasked with tackling my growing bump, while still feeling like I was staying true to my personal style. December and January were markedly warm; most days were around the 30 deg…
Retaining some semblance of your personal style while pregnant is tricky. Especially as you hit the final trimester. Looking back at earlier photos, it’s pretty evident how much I’ve “popped” in those final few months. I’ve maintained from the start of my pregnancy that I wanted to focus on wearing primarily non-maternity styles. For me, this was just as much about keeping my closet in check, as it was about versatility. Wearing Everlane pima cotton tank; Legoe grey ribbed pencil skirt; Everlane open knit cardigan; Dior slingback flats; JW Anderson bag (older version but this red one is one mega…
One of the main tasks I really wanted to complete as I headed into my third trimester, was the nursery. Up until late November, the room had largely served as a catch all for our stuff. It felt a little like Monica’s “messy” closet from Friends. It’s a pretty compact space – a single room – so the tough task was finding multi-purpose items that we loved which also fit within the confines of the room. We also knew from the outset that we wanted to create a gender neutral nursery. Despite knowing the sex of our baby from the…
For the past six months, I’ve had primarily only good skin days. I’d hazard a guess that having some semblance of routine and consistency with my skincare has been the culprit; though it’s possible the pregnancy has had a little something to do with it. I’ve streamlined what I apply to my face, and continue to keep a great product on rotation until it’s all used up. Serum in particular, is a heavy focus in my morning and evening routine. And I’ve found some real gems. So I figured, I’d share four serums I’ve re-purchased that I think are worth…
