When I reflect back on my style over the last year, 2017 definitely represented a bump in my style journey. I felt a little lost, and found myself adding items to my wardrobe that just weren’t me. Part of that is down to the fact that we are constantly evolving, and part of it was due to a classic wardrobe mistake: emotional shopping. That being said, my closet has been under ‘construction’ recently, so when I saw that Lee of Style Bee and Caroline from Un-Fancy were teaming up for a Spring 10X10 Wardrobe Challenge, it seemed like the perfect…
Ever since getting into fashion, shoes have always been a little bit of a weakness for me; a figurative achilles heel if you will – pun intended – so it was only a matter of time before I got my hands on a pair of the Everlane Editor Slingbacks. The team at Everlane were kind enough to send me a couple of pairs to road test ahead of launch, in addition to a new pair of editor heels in the newly released ‘mustard suede’ colour. Safe to say, these have pretty quickly integrated themselves into my wardrobe, despite us being…
I’ve been looking at a lot of home and decor inspiration lately, and there was something about this cosy apartment in Sweden that really caught my eye.

When it comes to adding anything new to my wardrobe, there’s two key things that I look for; something that will mix and match easily with my existing wardrobe, and ideally something I can see myself wearing at least 12 months from now. While it doesn’t always work out that way for me, it’s the classics that invariably find a permanent spot in my wardrobe. One of the latest additions to my closet has been this check blazer from Storm; double breasted, a soft lapel, lightweight and cut to halfway down the thigh, it’s pretty quickly cemented its spot as…
It takes a lot to get me excited about an eyeshadow palette. I have a type; give me a taupe or a bronze-based eyeshadow, and I’m generally pretty happy. Even better if it’s a one wash wonder. But, when I laid eyes on the NARS NARSissist Wanted Eyeshadow Palette, I couldn’t really say no. I’ve previously steered clear of eyeshadows that pull too warm, instead opting for something that sits on the more neutral end of the spectrum, but I couldn’t resist giving this rosey-toned palette a go. The Shade Selection Unlike previous NARS eyeshadow palettes, the outer packaging…
