It’s no secret that my favourite trend of the moment is neutrals. You just need to take one glance at my Instagram to see just how much of an obsession I seem to have. I don’t generally tend to buy into trends, but this is one I can wholeheartedly get on board with (especially as you probably have some neutrals in your closet already). Wearing Everlane sweater, Everlane wide leg chinos, Everlane day heels, Charles & Keith bag, Thomas Sabo hoops (10% off with code ‘JAMIE-LEE10’), Missoma necklace, Linjer watch Monochromatic looks are one of my biggest tricks to looking…
Vivienne Westwood said it best; ”Buy less, choose well”. It’s a mantra I’ve tried to instil in my attitudes towards buying new, as I continue to try and make informed, thought-out shopping decisions. Small changes in our habits compound over time, and I like to consider my own journey towards shopping more intentional a work in progress.

One of my favourite parts about the shift in seasons from summer to autumn is the opportunity to play around with my wardrobe a little more.

It’s been about a week since we got back from our South Island road trip, and I wanted to unpack our full itinerary for those of you thinking of heading over there. Despite growing up in Wellington, I never really made it down to the South Island until my twenties, and even then, it was just to pop to Queenstown for a wedding. With some serious hiking on the agenda for this trip, the thing I was most looking forward to was seeing some of New Zealand’s beautiful landscapes for myself. We were a little limited by how long we…
We’re a couple weeks into autumn now, so I thought it would be as good an opportunity as any to give you a 5PFW summer wardrobe update. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the five-piece-French-wardrobe-challenge, you can learn a little about how I’m interpreting this Parisian take on adding to your closet for the year ahead in this post. Ultimately, I decided to partake in this challenge as a way of informing my shopping attitude for the year ahead. I’ve said this before but I felt like 2018 saw me lose my way with my wardrobe a little,…
