It’s hard to believe that in a little under two months, Luke and I will finally be meeting our little one. Like any pregnancy, I’ve gone through my ups and downs. It’s not all roses, and growing another life inside you can be tiring, emotional, and hard. For those of you also expecting, and those of you who are just plain curious, I thought I’d share an update on how I’ve been making changes to my style, health, and general lifestyle, as well as how I’ve been preparing for baby’s impending arrival. Wearing Everlane slip dress (size US6), All Saints…
The Sezane January collection launched today, and if you’re anything like me, then you probably couldn’t resist taking a proper peek at the lookbook. You know, just in case. Despite finding the brand relatively hit or miss (you can read about my first order here and subsequent purchase here), I can’t help but get drawn into their clever marketing and beautiful imagery.

The constant teasing of the new collection – and knowing how quickly they sell…
For my final 2019 wrap-up, I wanted to run through my beauty favourites; the stand out products I found best worked for my oily/combination but dehydrated complexion.

The one place that I really noticed a difference? Skincare. More…
After setting my five simple style resolutions for 2020, I’ve decided to shape some additional frameworks around how I selectively shop, and also get ready for the day. The key here? To be intentional about it. Too often I’ve found myself caught up in the hype. Or, the temptation to suppress my anxiety has been so strong that an emotional shopping binge has clouded my judgement. So I thought today I’d chat a little about dressing with intention. Wearing Matteau tiered dress (affordable alternatives here and also here), Everlane wide strap sandals, Charles & Keith bag, Mejuri editor hoops, Muru…
Continuing on with my closet reflections, I wanted to share a recap of my most worn items in 2019. Meticulously tracking each wear has been a fascinating exercise – one I’m glad I returned to – and combined with pinpointing my favourite outfits of the year, it’s given me some major food for thought. The majority of these items were ones that I was wearing pre-baby bump, and looking at the breakdown, it’s gotten me curious how much more I would have worn certain skirts or shorts this year, had I had the chance. One thing that strikes me about…
