Over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed a bit of a change in terms of the types of brands I gravitate towards. I’ve put a spotlight on fashion labels that are making a commitment to reducing their impact on the environment, and produce their garments ethically. Essentially, my preferences have shifted from fast fashion to sustainable fashion. I’ve also tried to make my own efforts to do more with less, and ‘consume’ fewer but higher quality items. And while I’m not perfect in that respect, I’ve been talking a lot more about shopping with intent, something I’d like to…
If you saw my recent packing post, then you’ll know that when I’m planning a trip abroad, interstate, or even just a stay-cation, I like to pack light. My rule of thumb is that it’s carry-on only for seven days or less, and I like my travel beauty stash to be just as carefully curated as my vacation wardrobe essentials. With my fancy new makeup bag in tow (more on this later…), I thought I’d share my travel beauty edit that I took with my for our trip home to New Zealand. Because I was opting for carry-on only, I…
Renting may come with its freedoms, but one of the main things that really got me excited about buying our own home, was the chance to make it ours. Nails in walls where we wanted them, walls in muted colours, and decor that fit the aesthetic of the home that we were trying to create.

Perhaps the thing that really stopped me from investing too much in new decor while renting, was the unknown…
I’m probably not the only one who finds tracking down the perfect pair of work trousers to be a hard task. They’re either too big in the waist, too tight in the hips, or just hugely unflattering. I fell in love with the smart style ankle trousers from Uniqlo a couple of years back, but that was before we got a ragdoll cat… Wearing Joseph sweater, Everlane work pant in navy, FRANKiE4 ‘Jackie’ sneakers, Stella McCartney coat (affordable option here), Mighty Purse cross body bag, Linjer watch I’ve made a few efforts this year to try and seek out some…
I never used to like to challenge myself when travelling; I’d often be the girl with an enormous suitcase for a short stay, and couldn’t find the beauty – or comfort – in wearing the same thing more than once. It’s in stark contrast to my attitude towards packing now. I’ll avoid bringing checked luggage where I can, and for holidays spanning seven days or less, I make a point of trying to take carry-on only. So, it only made sense that I try to minimise my packing list for my current week-long trip to New Zealand, despite anticipating that…
