Do you ever feel like you’re in a bit of a style rut? It’s only natural… right? You’ve identified your style, you’ve got your daily uniform all figured out, and your favourite staples on rotation. I always find it’s when that ‘same-same’ mentality starts to creep in, that I begin feeling dissatisfied with what I’m wearing. I start asking myself if my outfit is too similar to what I wore the day before, if I should be experimenting with my wardrobe more, or if I need to inject something fun to spice things up. The answers come pretty quick too.…
One of the main things I feel like I experimented with in June was my makeup. I’ve been wearing winged liner since I was around 20 years old, so to mix things up I started smudging a bit of dark shadow at the outer corners. It created a softer look, though safe to say a good cat eye flick is still my OG. As far as skincare goes, there’s only one new product that’s made it into the beauty edit this month. I decided to dial my routine back a notch and for the most part, am using just three…
Another day, another excuse to wear a milky-toned look. Clearly, I’ve been taking this neutrals trend pretty seriously. As much as I love wearing head to toe black (hello winter uniform!), swapping out those staples for lighter hues during the colder months still feels fresh.

Given we’ve been living in Australia over five years now, and seldom head on the road to travel outside of Sydney, it was a good reminder to jet off on a city break every now and then. Wearing M&S navy sweater, Levis skinny jeans, Stella McCartney coat (old but love this one…
We’re in the thick of sale season, which is a time of year when temptation to spontaneously add something to our closets is at its highest. While I think that sale shopping can be an effective strategy for making your dollar stretch further, knowing when to shop and when to stop is the tricky part. It’s a big part of why I think shopping from a list is so practical; it’s a simple shift that’ll frame your shopping considerations and help you avoid impulse purchases. Wearing Uniqlo shirt, Dr Denim skinny jeans (old but these are similar), Sam Edelman loafers,…
